These two pieces of news were like a shock, and the courtiers in the hall were stunned. &{}. {}.}

"How so? Will the heavens kill me? ”

Wei Zhongxian muttered.

Even if Lu Yan rebelled, how could the Xiangxiang Sect also rebel at this juncture.

What a bunch of bastards, damn it! Damn it!!

What he didn't know was that the rebellion of the Smelling Fragrance Sect would be a few months later.

But as soon as he heard that the imperial court was defeated, the Wenxiang Sect felt that this was a good opportunity, so he followed to stir up the wind and rain.

Many people don't take the rebellion of the Smelling Fragrance Sect to heart.

It's just some chaotic people, as long as the imperial army arrives, it will definitely be able to kill those chaotic people.

Only Lu Yan is the real confidant.

If they only paid a little attention to Lu Yan before, now they regard Lu Yan as a real enemy.

Some Zhejiang party simply cried directly, crying and asking the emperor to send troops to rescue.

Zhu Youxiao's face was also a little panicked, Hangzhou is the real anointing place of the Ming Dynasty, and it contributes a lot of taxes to the Ming Dynasty every year.

If Lu Yan defeats Hangzhou, then his strength will be greatly enhanced.

And Hangzhou, basically the whole of Zhejiang is finished.

Lu Yan said that if the court did not agree to his conditions at that time, his soldiers would go straight to Zhili.

Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, is in Nanzhili, where there is not only the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, but also a complete set of six books.

The central capital Fengyang is also in Nanzhili, where the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty is located, and the ancestors of the old Zhu family are buried there.

Thinking of the consequences of Lu Yan's capture of Nanzhili, Emperor Tianqi couldn't sit still any longer, so he said to the eunuch: "Quick! Take it and I'll take a look! ”

But at this time, Yang Lian, the left deputy capital, walked out.

He didn't care about any court etiquette, so he snatched the fold from the eunuch's hand, and then looked at it carefully.

Seeing this, everyone turned their eyes to him.

If you want to say that this Yang Lian is not an ordinary person.

He's a real fierce man! The number one fierce general of the Donglin Party!

When Wanli was about to die, he did not summon the crown prince Zhu Changluo.

And this period is definitely the most sensitive time.

For example, it is not impossible that a few people suddenly appeared and said that Wanli planned to pass on the throne to King Fu.

It was Yang Lian who stepped forward at a critical time and persuaded the then prince Zhu Changluo to go to Wanli's bed to obey orders.

let Zhu Changluo pass the most dangerous period, and finally took over the throne smoothly.

Later, Zhu Changluo fell for Zheng Guifei's trick, and at night he was fortunate to be blessed with the beauties offered by Zheng Guifei, but he soon fell ill, and then took the laxative offered by Cui Wensheng (who had a close relationship with Zheng Guifei and had been on an errand in Zheng Guifei's palace), and he was about to fart.

At this time, Zheng Guifei still lived in the Qianqing Palace, which was the sleeping palace of the emperors of previous dynasties.

But Zheng Guifei resolutely refused to move, because Zhu Changluo's condition could be found out at any time here.

At this time, she had already united with Li Xuanzhi, and as soon as Zhu Changluo died, she and Li Xuanzhi would control the future Emperor of the Apocalypse.

At the critical moment, Yang Lian came out, Yang Lian united a large wave of Donglin Party, and when he arrived at Zheng Guifei's younger brother Zheng Yangxing's house, he scolded the street and threatened, threatening that if he continued like this, he would cause a disaster.

In the end, Zheng Yangxing was afraid and persuaded Zheng Guifei to move out of the Qianqing Palace.

After Zhu Changluo's death, the crown prince Zhu Youxiao was hidden by Li Xuanzhi (Zhu Changluo's concubine), a careerist, who wanted to completely control the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Later, Yang Lian personally went out and took thirteen ministers who took care of their lives, robbed and cheated, and finally Zhu Youxiao snatched it out of Li Xuanzhi's hands.

But Li Xuanshi, like Concubine Zheng, did not want to move out of the Qianqing Palace in order to exert influence on the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

In the end, Yang Lian tried every means to drive Li Xuanzhi out of the Qianqing Palace.

Therefore, Yang Lian is definitely a ** in combat effectiveness among the Wenchens, and not only single-handedly helped the two emperors Zhu Changluo and Zhu Youxiao to the throne.

and defeated the two careerists Zheng Guifei and Li Xuanshi, and played a crucial role in the late Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Yang Lian's brave deeds are far from over.

Four years after the Apocalypse, that is, two years later, it was this fierce man who singled out the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian and single-handedly opened the prelude to the decisive battle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party.

If it weren't for Wei Zhongxian's luck, he would almost behead the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian.

Therefore, if you only talk about the combat effectiveness of Wenchen, he is definitely at the level of Xiang Yu and Lu Bu.

But with the courage of Yang Lian, his hands trembled after watching the recital, and then handed it to the eunuch in front of Zhu Youxiao.

At the suggestion of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the eunuch immediately took the recital and read it.

After listening to the eunuch's words, all the ministers of the court and China were frightened.

In the end, Yang Lian stood up, and then said to the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "Enlighten the Holy Lord, the only way to plan now is to prepare with two hands. On the one hand, a large army was dispatched to defend Nanzhili and Guangdong, in case the rebels invaded these two provinces. On the other hand, send someone to contact Lu Yan, and be sure to find ways to make him accept the appeasement of the imperial court, so as not to cause disaster to the people. As for the Wenxiang Sect, it is just that the people are bewitched, and they only need to mobilize local soldiers and horses in Shandong to suppress the bandits, but they need to prevent them from wandering to Nanzhili. ”

Between his words, he has long given up Guangdong and Fujian.

But on this point, except for the Zhejiang Party standing up and resolutely opposing it, those courtiers almost did not have any objections.

Judging from the current situation, even if you want to mobilize a large army, I am afraid it will be too late.

Even if it was 800 miles to urgently send envoys to the provinces to transfer troops, raise good food and salaries, and then send them to Zhejiang, it would take at least more than a month, and the daylily would be cold by then.

For the imperial court, keeping Nanzhili and Guangdong is the most important thing to do.

Once Nanjing and Fengyang are lost, God knows what crazy things the Emperor of the Apocalypse will do.

For Yang Lian, the minister, the Emperor of the Apocalypse still trusts him very much.

He just thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, then according to Aiqing's words." Passing on my will, I ordered Zhao Yan, the governor of Shandong, to mobilize heavy troops and quell the rebellion of the Wenxiang Sect as quickly as possible. In addition, Guangdong and Nanzhi were ordered to recruit soldiers from the local area to replenish the lost men. There are also large armies drawn from Henan, Jiangxi, and Huguang into Nanzhili. In any case, it is necessary to keep Nanjing and Fengyang Mansion from losing. Otherwise, what face will I have to go to my ancestors and fathers? In addition, some troops were transferred from Guangxi and Guizhou into Guangdong to prevent the rebels from attacking Guangdong. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao's mood became extremely gloomy.

This time, the troops of the six provinces were fully reduced, and if you add the army of the four provinces that was sent to exterminate Lu Yan before, the Ming Dynasty has used the military strength of ten provinces before and after, which has completely exceeded the limit of the troops that the Ming can use.

This is simply a battle related to the fortunes of the entire Ming Dynasty!

If he loses, it is not impossible for the Ming Dynasty to lose the country.

Therefore, after finishing speaking, Zhu Youxiao almost lost his voice and became painful.

"Holy Lord, are we using too many troops? If you lose, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

At this time, a courtier stood up and said.

Hearing this, there was silence in the court, and everyone here knew how terrible the consequences of failure were.

The entire Ming Dynasty is not considered Liaodong, and it is only two capitals and thirteen provinces.

Zhu Youxiao's face was also miserable, and then he said slowly: "How can I not know this situation, but there is the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu in Nanjing, and Fengyang is the place where I am in the Ming Dynasty, so I must keep it no matter what, otherwise, what face will I have to see my ancestors in the future." ”

"Wechen is incompetent! can't solve the emperor's worries! It really deserves death! ”

At this time, a courtier stood up and said with a sad face, and after speaking, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

His cry of pain infected the atmosphere of the entire hall, and more and more courtiers stood up to plead guilty to the emperor.

Soon, a sad atmosphere permeated the entire court, and the monarchs and ministers were almost hugging their heads and crying.

Wei Zhongxian's mood is getting worse and worse, and his situation will only get worse and worse if he continues like this.

He gave Gu Bingqian, who was howling, a few glances in a row.

Gu Bingqian immediately stopped crying and wiped away the tears that didn't know if he cried.

Then he stood up and said: "Wei Chen thinks that those introspective armies alone may not be the opponent of Lu Thief. If you want to put down the rebellion, it is better to send the border troops into the customs. Only by relying on the elite border army can they destroy the rebel army of Lu Yan with the power of thunder. ”

Hearing this, many courtiers stopped crying, and then looked at Gu Bingqian, it seems that the eunuch party is about to make a move.

The official Shangshu pondered for a moment, immediately walked out, and then said to Gu Bingqian in a fierce voice: "Weichen is against it, and it is now autumn." Since ancient times, autumn has mostly been the time when the northern Tatars invaded, and the Houjin and Mongol Tatars are likely to take advantage of this opportunity to move south again. At this time, we should order the border troops to defend to the death, instead of letting them go south. ”

"And it will take at least five months for the border army to be transferred back and forth to Nanzhili, and I don't know how much food will be consumed during this period, plus the time of the war, I may not be able to go back for a year. In the meantime, who will guard the border? If the Jurchens enter the customs and the people near the capital are affected, who will be responsible? Are you responsible? ”

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that eventful autumn is happening, and once autumn arrives, it is the time when autumn is high and fat.

The horses have strength, and the Han people have gained, at this time, the nomads in the north will often take this opportunity to go to the south to grab a handful, and ask the Han brothers to help.

After all, the north is a bitter cold land, and the life of the nomads is not easy.

Gu Bingqian sneered, and then retorted unceremoniously: "Isn't it just a few months?" The Jurchens don't have to be guilty. And do you dare to guarantee that the troops of those five provinces will be able to hold Nanjing? Can you keep Fengyang? If you can't hold Nanjing and Fengyang, will you be responsible? ”

Hearing this, **Xing couldn't help but tremble with anger.

He is one of the three giants of the Donglin Party, and he has always been highly respected in Shilin, so he is extremely proud.

Gu Bingqian is something, he is in his seventies, and he still goes to seek refuge in Wei Zhongxian.

In order to go further, I wanted to recognize Wei Zhongxian as my godfather.

But he was afraid that Wei Zhongxian would think he was too old and didn't want to, so he asked his son to recognize Wei Zhongxian as his grandfather.

Its shamelessness is simply to the extreme.

This Sven scum dared to confront him face to face.

"You damn eunuch lackey!"

**Xing pointed at Gu Bingqian and scolded.

Hearing this, Gu Bingqian's face couldn't hold back.

We're all over 70 years old, although we don't even want to have a face in order to go further.

But we're getting older, so you have to learn to respect the old and love the young.

In front of the emperor and so many courtiers, he scolded me as a lackey of the eunuch party, how will you let him meet people in the future.

"You old horseman!!"

Gu Bingqian immediately scolded back unceremoniously.

"You literati scum! Shameless villain!! You're so angry! ”

"You're a hypocrite......"

"The minister impeached Gu Bingqian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Gu Bingqian was incorruptible and shameless, and it was really humili......ating to let his son recognize Wei Zhongxian as his grandfather."

"The minister impeached the official department of Shangshu ** star, ** star formed a party for personal gain, excluded the courtiers, and plotted against him!"

Gu Bingqian scolded unceremoniously.

"Weichen, please behead Wei Zhongxian, and then drive the Ke clan out of Beijing, so that Lu Yan will lose his righteous name, and what face does he have to send troops to King Qin. At that time, if he doesn't withdraw from the army, we can expose Lu Yan's hypocritical face to Quanxia, so that he will be spurned by the world's ministers. ”

At this time, Yang Lian, the left deputy capital, stood up and said.

Yang Lian's words shocked the entire court like an earth-shattering shock.

It's not that no one has mentioned this kind of statement before, but it's just some small corners of the Donglin Party, and at most it can only be regarded as a test of Zhu Youxiao's mind.

But Yang Lian's identity is not ordinary, he is a famous fierce general of the Donglin Party, and he has an extremely important position in the mind of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Could it be that the Donglin Party is going to war with the Eunuch Party?

Wei Zhongxian looked at Yang Lian with a resentful expression, if he had a knife now, he would definitely hate to cut the person in front of him with a thousand knives.

What he didn't know was that Yang Lian, the demon star he hit, finally waved the butcher's knife at him two years in advance.

In fact, he has always been afraid of Yang Lian, because Li Xuanzhi used to be his master.

He also saw with his own eyes how Li Xuanzhi was defeated by him, and even participated in it himself.

Even his master was defeated, not to mention that he was a minion, so he always had a lingering fear of Yang Lian.

But now that he is here to ask for his own life, how can Wei Zhongxian, who has always cherished his life, give up.

The other Donglin party members looked at Yang Lian with a different face, how he privately launched the struggle against the eunuch party.

You must know that once a heavyweight like him starts to impeach, it is very likely to be regarded as a decisive battle against the eunuchs.

"Weichen seconded the proposal, Weichen please behead Wei Zhongxian and expel the Hakka clan from Beijing."

At this time, **Xing also stood up and said.

Seeing that one of the three giants of the Donglin Party, ** Xing, and the number one fierce general, Yang Lian, were all out of the horse, those Donglin parties knew that they were now ready to send arrows.

So they all stood up and said: "Weichen seconded it!" ”

"Weichen seconded!"

“……”

When those Zhejiang party saw this, some people couldn't help but stand up and second.

After all, the benefits of this matter are obvious, the cost is very small, and it is just a matter of eunuch head.

In the eyes of many scholars, eunuchs have never been regarded as people, at most they can only be regarded as villains who bewitch the emperor.

On the contrary, the benefits are huge, and the Zhejiang Party, which has been forced into a desperate situation by Lu Yan, no longer cares whether it will offend Wei Zhongxian.

Looking at the courtiers who seconded the proposal one by one, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but be frightened.

What he'd been fearing lately has finally happened!

They finally had to take his head to Anlu Yan's heart!

He hurriedly glanced at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not refuse immediately, but had a look of hesitation on his face.

This frightened Wei Zhong even more, and then knelt down with a thud.
