Chapter 619: Soul Summoning Burial under the City (II)

"The complaints of the people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" Ye Yingwu frowned, this is really a big problem.

Before the Northern Expedition, the imperial court undoubtedly occupied the highest point of morality, whether it was the court officials or the common people, they were all fully supported, because the suffering that Mongolia brought to China over the years is obvious to all, and many of the Ming army's troops were refugees who fled from the north.

And now if the Ming army continues to attack the grassland, it means that this big battle will last for a long time, and it also means that there will be more Ming soldiers who will shed blood and sacrifice. Going deep into the grassland, the officials and generals in the court naturally understand the benefits, even the household department will grit their teeth and mobilize sloppy, because once they take Helin, the benefits will definitely exceed the previous efforts, but this is just to solve the opinions of various departments in the court, the government and the opposition, the government and the opposition, inseparable, the court has solved, and the people, if they can't appease the people, I'm afraid that Ye Yingwu will be put on the hat of "poor soldiers", and even Wen Tianxiang and Su Liuyi dare not imagine it.

Don't you see Qin Shi Huang back then, and the second emperor died in the country?

Su Liuyi looked up at Ye Yingwu: "Your Majesty, today is the day when the obituary of the soldiers killed in the Battle of Youyan was issued, and there are already a lot of white flags outside Nanjing, if you let the people know that the Ming Dynasty is still attacking north at this time, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, but it's Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· to hide it."

The Ming army did not withdraw, but sent cavalry to continue to go deep into the grassland, such a large-scale army movement, absolutely can not hide from the people, after all, many caravans come and go north and south, the most well-informed information, soon these troop movements may be known to everyone. And if the Ming court intends to deceive now, it is more likely to cause resentment among the people at that time.

After all, the people of the Ming Dynasty were also the people of the former Song Dynasty, and the people were enlightened, Ye Yingwu could use this advantage to establish the idea of family and country more easily, but it was also more likely to set himself on fire.

Not only Wen Tianxiang and Su Liuyi, but Zhao Yunshu also looked at Ye Yingwu, and the hand that was studying ink for him couldn't help but tremble. Everyone knows what the consequences of the people's anger will bring, especially for the current Ming Dynasty, which was originally a war on the north and south fronts, if the interior is unstable again, I am afraid that this new dynasty will become a mirror and a dream.

In history, there are many such dynasties, such as the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, and the huge world that they have beaten down by themselves has finally made wedding clothes for others. What once seemed like a mighty dynasty has fallen apart and turned to dust in just a few years.

"I'll solve this problem," Ye Yingwu stood up with his hand on the table, and said in a deep voice, "Two Aiqing don't need to panic, now your main task is to coordinate the six departments, whether it is the north or the south, there is no room for mistakes, I will draft a decree to urge the generals of all departments to minimize losses." Now I'm on the edge of a cliff, but don't walk on thin ice. We have come this far not because we have done something wrong, but because the Mongolian Tartars are too weak and we are too strong! Since we are strong, there is nothing to be afraid of! ”

These words rang out loudly, and there seemed to be countless explosions of thunder in the minds of Su Liuyi and Wen Tianxiang in an instant.

Yes, Daming has come to this point, not because Daming is too weak, but because Daming is too strong, since he is strong, what is there to be afraid of?

"Xiao Yangzi, send an order to Wu Chucai, the Praetorian Guard has stepped up patrols recently, but there is no need to make a fuss about the peripheral troops of Gyeonggi such as the Zhenjiang Prefecture Water Division." Ye Yingwu commanded in a deep voice, "In addition, the six gates will be ordered to strengthen patrols inside and outside the Beijing Division, focusing on observing whether there is any incitement, if there is, there is no need to declare, control it first!" ”

"Obey!" Xiao Yangzi, who had been waiting outside the imperial study, answered without hesitation.

The tide will not roll up for no reason, there will inevitably be one or two who take the lead, and Ye Yingwu believes that even if there is really any dissatisfaction with Daming, ordinary people will not stand up abruptly, and the first to stand up and agitate the loudest must be ill-intentioned or have other plans, not to let the Praetorian Guard and the garrison outside the city dispatch, naturally in order to prevent greater riots, the six doors are in the dark, and they are generally dispatched in plainclothes, which is naturally easier to contact the people and easier to detect the root of the matter. And Wen Tianxiang and Su Liuyi also understood the importance of Ye Yingwu's arrangement, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts, Your Majesty laughs and scolds on weekdays, but when it comes to the critical moment, the thunder means do not hesitate at all, this is to bring Da Ming step by step to the current Majesty.

Ye Yingwu's gaze immediately fell on the two of them: "Su Qingjia, you are in charge of the military department, let the military department discharge the list of meritorious and heroic martyrs as soon as possible, and make it public first, and when the northern army returns, I will personally award medals to these warriors of the Ming Dynasty!" Wen Qing's family, you go to the Academy and the Hanlin Academy now, my Yulu is not raising them for nothing, at this time, let them take out the writing and calm down the public opinion as much as possible! ”

"Your Majesty, although the Hanlin Academy and the Academy are full of talents, if there is nothing to say, just from the perspective of morality and righteousness, I am afraid it will be difficult to shift the focus of public opinion," Wen Tianxiang said with some embarrassment, "If you continue to entangle on this, I am afraid it will be easy to go deeper and deeper, and in the end, it will be difficult for the imperial court to get out." ”

Ye Yingwu raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Tianxiang, this middle-aged man who left a strong mark with a high-spirited and unyielding attitude in another time and space is still the proud and righteous look when he first saw Lin'an, and just now Ye Yingwu realized that this guy is also very dark.

"Ahem, Song Rui, you have learned to manipulate public opinion now, will you simply force women to do public opinion in the future?" Ye Yingwu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, but his voice was very small, and only Zhao Yunshu beside him could vaguely hear it, and the girl turned her head sideways silently, but her hand twisted fiercely around Ye Yingwu's waist.

"Shhh Ye Yingwu took a breath of cool air, and Wen Tianxiang also noticed the change in Ye Yingwu's expression, and just wanted to ask His Majesty if he was ill, but fortunately, Su Liuyi beside him quickly pulled his sleeve, Wen Tianxiang looked in the direction of Su Liu Yinu's mouth, and happened to see Zhao Yunshu, who was getting closer and closer to Ye Yingwu, not only was he angry, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

His Majesty still has the heart to make small moves with his mother at this time, which shows that he has long known it.

And Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and pressed Zhao Yunshu's little hand, and said in a deep voice: "This Aiqing rest assured, since I just said that I will preside over the settlement of this matter, then I will definitely not break my word, let the Hanlin Academy and the Academy wait, don't they want materials, then I will give them to them." ”

Wen Tianxiang and Su Liuyi met Ye Yingwu's gaze at the same time, with a subordinate's understanding expression, and they retreated while smiling. And when leaving, Wen Tianxiang didn't forget to smile and say more: "Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to persuade you, and please pay attention to your body, it is daytime at this time, and Your Majesty should take political affairs first." ”

Without waiting for Ye Yingwu to say more, Wen Tianxiang and Su Liuyi ran fast, without the demeanor that a prime minister should have, but like two street gangsters who took advantage of their words and fled in a panic.

Zhao Yunshu looked at Ye Yingwu with some doubts: "Husband, what did Xianggong Wen mean just now?" ”

Ye Yingwu scratched his head: "Maybe from his point of view, the two of us should have caused some misunderstanding." You see that the hands of the two of us are under the table, and it is true that you are twisting the waist of XX, but Wen Songrui and Su Renzhong don't think so nine times out of ten. ”

Subconsciously looking down, Zhao Yunshu's face turned red all of a sudden, and he immediately stomped his feet, and sneered: "What kind of emperor there is, what kind of minister, none of the people in the court and the opposition have a proper shape, and the two of them are still well-dressed on weekdays!" ”

"Isn't so-and-so well-dressed?" Ye Yingwu suddenly said dissatisfied.

"Dressed in clothes, the heart is like a beast," Zhao Yunshu laughed, turned around to run, but was restrained by Ye Yingwu, and the girl struggled, "Let go!" ”

"Did you run away?" Ye Yingwu said with a smile, "You have the ability to repeat what you just said, and see how your husband cleans you up." ”

Being hugged by Ye Yingwu, Zhao Yunshu's whole body softened, and he quickly begged for mercy: "ConcubineΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· The concubine knew that she was wrong. ”

"This time I won't be served," Ye Yingwu shook his head, and without waiting for Zhao Yunshu to show his joy, he continued, "I'll punish you for accompanying someone out for a walk." ”

"Get out?" Zhao Yunshu was stunned for a moment.

Ye Yingwu's eyes looked outside: "Isn't it to appease the people, this is the easiest way." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”-

"The Soul is back!"

A high voice was raised, followed by a long voice behind him.

"The Soul Returnsβ€”"

The entire wilderness outside the city of Nanjing was filled with this sound, one after another. The procession holding white flags was densely packed, like a rolling black wave, heading towards Zhongshan not far away.

The carriage slowly stopped on the hillside, Xiao Yangzi and other guards grabbed the reins, pressed the saber in their hands, and looked around vigilantly, and the cordon between the Praetorian Guards and the six doors was even more far away, this place was already very close to Zhongshan, where the Temple of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty was located, the place where the Ming Dynasty held the sacrifice ceremony including the spring ploughing ceremony, and the place where the Ming Martyrs' Shrine was located.

Countless soldiers who fought bloodily for the Ming Dynasty and shrouded in horse leather are qualified to enter the Martyrs' Shrine, it can be said that the tombstones neatly arranged up and down Zhongshan and the rather solemn buildings built on the mountainside are not very grand but built quite solemnly, which is the meritorious monument of the Ming Dynasty in the past few years, not to mention whether the Temple of Heaven on the top of Zhongshan Mountain, which symbolizes the royal majesty, will make the advancing crowd feel fear and awe, just this tombstone that spreads upwards from the foot of the mountain, is enough to make them stop.

In the face of these soldiers who shed their blood for the Ming Dynasty and got the world today, even if they are dissatisfied with the court's reckless military force, they will not take a step beyond the thunder pool, not only because some of them are still their elders or relatives and friends, but also because these soldiers who lie quietly on Zhongshan are the heroes of the Ming Dynasty and their heroes.

Ye Yingwu silently stood on the hillside and looked at the scene in front of him, not knowing whether he should have a headache or rejoice, the number of people in this memorial service has exceeded his imagination, at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, countless white flags are flying in the wind, and the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard guarding Zhongshan and the officials of Nanjing Mansion are not large in number, plus they have not received orders, so they have not blocked them, but they just stand straight on both sides of the road up the mountain.

After all, in the laws and decrees promulgated by the Ming Dynasty, the people are allowed to worship at the Martyrs' Shrine, but because of respect for the heroic spirits of Zhongshan and the awe of the Temple of Heaven on the top of Zhongshan Mountain, no one has set this precedent.

Even today, these people just stood silently not far from Zhongshan, setting up tables full of melon and fruit offerings. This is also what makes Ye Yingwu happy, at least these people who are dissatisfied with the court in their hearts still have a sense of awe for Zhong Shan.

And for Ye Yingwu, this is enough.

"Husband." Zhao Yunshu stood beside Ye Yingwu, looking at the white flags flying below, her pretty face was a little pale, although she followed Ye Yingwu over the bumpy road, she could be regarded as having seen a big battle, but today is the first time she has seen this meeting.

The white flags danced, like a heroic spirit flying in the sky descending to this world, solemn and solemn, just in front of the Zhongshan Mountain to reflect each other.

"Maybe these people just want to pay tribute to their relatives who sacrificed for the country, and now they are just setting up a table of melons and fruits outside Zhongshan, which shows that they don't want to offend the majesty of the court and the royal family," Zhao Yunshu muttered, looking up at Ye Yingwu, "It stands to reason that the people gathered here to pay tribute to the soldiers who died in battle, it is not a mistake, will the husband be too worried?" ”

Ye Yingwu looked back at Zhao Yunshu, she obviously expected the scene here, so she had already changed into a plain white dress, and her hair was simply fixed with a hosta, this makeup and a little whitish face had a kind of delicate appearance that was out of the mud and not stained, but at this time Ye Yingwu didn't care about appreciating the beauty, but just said in a deep voice:

"If no one had been in the way, there would have been so many people."

Zhao Yunshu was stunned, she was originally a smart woman, and she suddenly figured out Ye Yingwu's intentions. The Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, the casualties were mainly in the Battle of Youyan, and this time it was only the casualties of the Battle of Youyan that came back after the statistics were transmitted, and it is estimated that the situation on the battlefield in Shanxi will take a few days, so it means that only the two main armies of the Zhen Navy and the Lianghuai Army are now known to be killed or wounded.

The source of these two main armies is mainly from the Zhuangding who fled south from the north and the original Lianghuai Zhuangding, and their families are either in Lianghuai, or they have been scattered and settled in the various lands newly recovered by the Ming Dynasty, and these resettlement sites are mainly concentrated in Caizhou, Yingchuan Mansion to Heluo line recovered during the Northern Expedition of Wen Tianxiang at that time, because the Ming Dynasty has laid a solid foundation here, and has completely mastered the hearts of the people through large-scale relief to the victims. So there is no need to worry about the confusion caused by these outcasts from the Northland.

Of course, considering that Nanjing City was used as Jiankang Mansion in the former Song Dynasty, it was already half of the front line, and it was once broken by the Jin people who went south, and it was quite withered, and it was impossible to rely on the original population to recover in a short period of time, so the imperial court once placed some displaced people and refugees from the south around Nanjing City, so that Nanjing City could recover in the short term, at least on the surface, it had the demeanor that the Ming Emperor should have, but the number of these displaced people was not too much after all.

Moreover, the displaced people who settled down around Nanjing City, their strong men were basically supplemented into the Shenwei Army and the Zhenjiang Prefecture Water Division, and there were not many who could be supplemented to the two Huai Army and the Zhenjiang Navy, and now the people worshipping under the hillside are afraid that there are not four or five thousand people, basically the families of all the soldiers who died in battle, and even Zhao Yunshu also found that there were many people in the crowd who were dressed strangely, and they should be the scholars in the capital or the likes of the Yanei, and nine times out of ten they were infected by the scene in front of them. Follow to see the excitement or express respect for the dead soldiers.

So many people gathered at the foot of Zhongshan in such an organized manner, if no one instigated it, then Zhao Yunshu would not believe it.

Zhao Yunshu looked at Ye Yingwu beside him, his husband had a cold look in his eyes, staring at the crowd below, while Xiao Yangzi and other personal guards were guarding him, murderous, his eyes were like swords, constantly sweeping around the crowd, as if he wanted to find those who were in the way.

"Tian Kun, the patrol commander of the Nanjing Mansion of the Six Gates, see Your Majesty and Niangniang!" A middle-aged man hurried up the hill and bowed.

Ye Yingwu's expression moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Tian Kun, have you ever been in Kuizhou Mansion?" ”
