Chapter 145: Return to Beijing
The snow on the ground was three feet thick, and it was up to your knees when you stepped down, and although the snow on the official road was cleared, it was still difficult for people to walk an inch.
The sound of clattering horses' hooves sounded softly, Rao is a war horse from the border of Liaodong, and in such a scene, it is difficult to walk too fast.
A group of 500 people trampled on the snow on the official road and splashed it in all directions, and the white snow became black.
The cold wind poured in from the collar, making the young man in the bullfighting suit shiver, he tightened the big air on his body, and let out a cold breath: "Brothers, work hard, it's almost here." ”
In front of it is a majestic city, although there are few pedestrians on the road, this area is very clean, I think it should be related to the majestic city not far away.
When the group came to the city gate, several gate guards stomped their feet while asking about the origin of the group, and when the strong man next to the young man threw a small black iron plate over, the soldiers opened the small door on the side of the city gate very happily.
After entering the city, there were no pedestrians on the street due to heavy snowfall, and the group suddenly increased their speed.
Coming back from Datong, it can be said that Zhang Ru, who had been sleeping in the open air along the way, had five hundred people with him.
Some of these 500 people were the cavalry of the Jinyi Guard, some were generals with outstanding achievements in the frontier war, and some were prisoners.
After Batu Munk's father and son were tied up and sent back to the capital, the sound of the court attacking disappeared instantly, and in order to show the generosity of the heavenly court, Zhu Jianshen did not kill Batu Munch and his sons, but instead sealed Batu Munk as a border marquis. The maids who served were transferred directly from the palace, and the servants were also trained by the Zongren Mansion, and as for the nursing courtyard, they chose the masters of the Five Military Governor's Mansion.
Obviously, Zhu Jianshen intended to use this way to humiliate a great villain who could incite 300,000 grassland iron horsemen to invade the border of the Ming Dynasty.
According to the idea of the military generals in Beijing, such a scourge was still killed.
However, the court is different from the border towns, and the generals don't have the power to speak that only know how to move their mouths, and if they say a few more words, they will have a big hat of martial arts and chaos to button down. The military generals have killed countless people on the battlefield, but there is only one head on their necks, who dares to risk their own lives to fight with the literati?
On the surface, there is less attack on the general soldiers of several towns, but secretly there is no less gossip about the young governor of the nine sides, either that he has worked hard and lost money or that he has disregarded the law and discipline. What's more, when he ran to the ear of Wan Guifei, who was not dealing with Zhang Ru, he happened to be heard by Emperor Chenghua, who had nothing to do, and in a fit of anger, he almost didn't turn the little official of the Wanjia Metropolitan Procuratorate who had eggs into a eunuch in Dongchang who had no eggs.
Here it is clear that the carriage and horse artillery are going to put Zhang Ru to death, and the Jinyi guard will naturally not be idle, and Tiqi will wantonly arrest the guy who likes to chew the root of his tongue.
There is a way to defend the people more than to defend Sichuan, so many people like to talk about the merits and demerits of being the governor of the nine sides of the dynasty after dinner, and how can it be that Jinyiwei and a group of Tiqi want them to shut up.
Far from disappearing, the rumors have become more and more intense at the urging of some well-intentioned people.
Mu Bin, who is sitting in the Fusi of Beizhen, has two big heads, so he almost didn't kill in Beiping City. Fortunately, at this time, the news of Zhang Ru's return to Beijing came, and his restless heart finally settled down.
Otherwise, Mu Bin, who was so anxious that his mouth was blistering, might have done something to scare people to death.
The mouths of those people are poisonous, but no matter how poisonous the mouths are, they can't compare to the embroidered spring knife of Jinyiwei. The knife is on the neck, see if you dare to say it.
Fortunately, this guy didn't mess up, although no people lined up to greet Zhang Ru when he came back, no one threw rotten eggs at him.
The Governor of the Nine Sides, who had just smashed hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops and prisoners, quietly entered the city like a passer-by passing through Beiping, and then quietly went to the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen.
I haven't seen him for a long time, Mu Bin seems to be a little more mature, seeing Zhang Ru's face frosty, he can't care about his identity, he takes three steps and two steps to Zhang Ru's side, and after the salute, he pulls Zhang Ru into the yamen.
The dignified nine-sided governor returned to the capital and did not attack and resume his life at the first time, but returned to Beizhen Fusi, which was another major event that was criticized.
After getting the news, many officials who had Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts immediately began to write impeachment chapters, including people in the six departments, people from the Yushitai, and even many people from the six departments.
Privately transferring hundreds of thousands of troops, whether there is a legitimate reason or not, is not something that a nine-sided governor should do. Once this matter is set a precedent and not dealt with, the orders of the Ministry of War will not be able to leave the capital in the future, and when the time comes, the general army in any place will be able to mobilize tens of thousands of troops under his command to run around, and the Ming Dynasty will be completely chaotic.
Officials who had a good relationship in private and were in the same camp began to move around frequently, discussing what means of impeachment were the best, and how to completely demote Zhang Ru, the thunderous governor of the Nine Sides.
Those officials who sharpened their heads and just wanted to climb up, but they didn't care whether you Zhang Ru won the Tatar battle with hundreds of thousands of border troops, and they didn't care that if the Tatar 300,000 iron hooves stepped into Datong, the capital would be in danger. They only know that you, Zhang Ru, are privately transferring troops without an order from the Ministry of War, and they only know that your Zhang Ru is violating the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty.
At worst, it is said that you Zhang Ru intends to rebel, and at worst, you can't escape the black cauldron of not obeying the orders of the imperial court.
Every move of the officials fell into the eyes of Jinyiwei, and the cavalry were busy summing up all the information and sending it to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, and after not resting for long, Zhang Ru was shouted by Mu Bin in a hurry.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Zhang Ru muttered dissatisfiedly: "Mu Bin, you can just make your own decisions about anything, why let me make an idea." ”
Mu Bin poured a basin of cold water on his head: "My commander, don't think about the problem too simply, now those courtiers are trying to write a memo to impeach you, and you can still sleep." ”
Zhang Ru said indifferently: "What's the big deal, they impeached them, I do mine, why bother so much." As long as Your Majesty doesn't want to touch me, no one will be able to touch me, and you think that those of them who only know how to move their mouths can impeach something useful. ”
Mu Bin sighed: "Alas. That being said, you did something wrong this time, my lord. The mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops, the loss of so much grain and grass, is not a trivial problem. Those people grabbed the pigtails of adults, and most of them would not let go easily. Especially those officials, who were tossed by adults last time, those imperial historians hated adults to the core. This time, there is a mastermind behind the scenes, and if they can't keep it, they can forget the pain of the board beating their butts and flowers, and come out to provoke the adults again. ”
He was telling the truth, because among the objects monitored by the Jinyi Guard, the most were these imperial historians.
Don't look at all the petty officials who are only seventh-grade, but these petty officials are goods that can make the cabinet bigwigs feel jealous.
Emperor Taizu set up the imperial historians, the original intention was to let them supervise the hundred officials, but later in the hands of Emperor Chengzu, the structure of the brocade clothes and guards that had changed a little bit of flavor was thickened, which made the power of these officials relatively small.
said that it became smaller, but in fact it did not become smaller, but they originally had no constraints, but they also had Jinyiwei as a constraint.
An impeachment letter from a speech official in the court, if the writing is general, it may have no effect, but once several speech officials impeach together, it is something that the emperor has to pay attention to.
Picking up the tea on the table and taking a few sips, the tiredness on his body disappeared a little, Zhang Ru said while spitting out the tea foam: "It's not a big deal, what matters is Your Majesty's attitude." As for the attacks of the courtiers in the court, I have never taken it to heart. I am also prepared for this troop transfer, and if the battle is won, whoever dares to make noise will be unlucky. ”
The attitude of the emperor determines everything, after all, it is now a feudal society.
Mu Bin was still a little worried: "They attack the Lord and have the protection of the emperor, but what if they attack the people below?" The people below are not as powerful as adults, and those officials can make those soldiers who fought bloodily have nothing left as long as they stumble a little. ”
In a trance, Zhang Ru seemed to have returned to the murderous battlefield, and after experiencing a killing, the murderous aura exuded from his body was much stronger than before.
Mu Bin, who felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, shouted Zhang Ru, and when he saw that he didn't react, he pushed him hard.
Zhang Ru was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "What did you just say?" ”
Mu Bin repeated: "The last general said that if those people target the soldiers below, what should we do? ”
Zhang Ru snorted coldly, stood up and walked a few steps, and said angrily: "Whoever dares to attack those soldiers who protect the Ming frontier with their lives just wants to fight to the death with Lao Tzu." Since it is a dead knock, there is naturally no love to stay. You prepare, all the information of the officials who are going to impeach the general at the court meeting in two days will be collected, and their handles are all sorted out and classified. Lao Tzu wants to see who dares to touch Lao Tzu's brothers. ”
The roar of arguity made Mu Bin regain his backbone, and he nodded vigorously: "The last general obeys the order." ”
Before the person walked out of the room, Zhang Ru's voice came from behind him: "By the way, let the people from Beizhen Fusi check where Su Qiqi went." Even the people of the Cloud Rider couldn't find any trace of her, and I was worried that something would happen to her. ”
Mu Bin didn't reply: "Don't worry, my lord, this is the case, and the last general will immediately send someone to find the Qiqi girl." ”
Zhang Ruen sighed and waved his hand: "Go!" ”
