Chapter 641: The Monarch and the Ministers (I)

Yang Tinghe and several other auxiliary ministers glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that it was actually the Son of Heaven who came out to endorse the behavior of Marquis Wuding and other nobles. As ministers, they can swear that last night's military operation was certainly not at the behest of the Son of Heaven. But now that the emperor has stood up, then this act is to act according to the will, and he can't say much.

The most important thing is that at the moment, the soldiers are outside, and it is not suitable for the interior to start a chaotic situation again. If there is any chaos at this time, the defense of the entire Jingshi will be really dangerous. Yang Tinghe had no choice but to glance at Yuan Zonggao, who stepped out of the class, coughing and pleading for several officials.

For this old man, the emperor was still very face-saving, and the court staff was only half-hit, and then shouted to stop. However, Rao is like this, and most of the lives of the three people have been gone, and if they don't rest for half a year, I'm afraid they won't be able to get off the ground. When he returned to the Qianqing Palace, Yang Tinghe and several other auxiliary ministers, as well as Peng Ze, the secretary of the military department, and Sun Jiao, the secretary of the household department, also entered the palace.

In the court meeting outside, there are more elements of going through the motions, and what can really decide things is still this Qianqing Palace. Jiajing didn't wait for a few people to speak, and he spoke first: "I know that Zhongqing must have a lot of doubts in his heart, or he is dissatisfied with some people. But I think after you look at this, you will understand why I said that, Zhang Zuo, bring the things. ”

A stack of letters was placed in front of several people, the cover of the letter had been opened, everyone took it out and looked at it a few times, Sun Jiao couldn't help but ask, "What is the source of this letter?" Long live and don't fall for the counter-plan of the Northern Captives. ”

"Sun Qing, whether it is a counter-plot or not, it is not difficult for me to judge. As long as you send someone to check the warehouse, you will know if it is a counter-plan. I believe that the current Taicang rice must not match the warehouse account, and the deficit is huge. If you send someone to the market to ask about the price of rice, you can also know some clues. At present, the Beijing division is trapped, and there are many refugees, what is needed at this time is to stabilize the price of rice and stabilize people's hearts. And ye say, What sin ought to be? ”

Yang Tinghe read the letter in his hand several times and put it on the table casually, "The content of what is said above is not necessarily made out of nothing, businessmen value profit over righteousness, and have wealth but no country. In order to make a profit, everything can be done, so when Hongwu Tianzi set the throne, he said that he would emphasize agriculture and suppress business. It is not impossible for these businessmen to do something crazy in order to open a horse market. However, the minister thought that the wind of going out of the city without permission should not rise. If the Marquis of Wuding wins the award today, in the future, the generals of the Beijing camp will follow suit, and they will go out of the city to fight in the field, as the rank of promotion and promotion, and the defense of the Beijing division will have a big problem. ”

Peng Ze also echoed: "That's right, at the moment, the military horses of the Beijing division do not have the strength to fight with the northern captives, so it is the best policy to defend the city and wait for reinforcements." If the men and horses of the Beijing camp go out of the city to engage in battle without authorization for the sake of military merit, they will not only frustrate their morale but also lose the generals. Once the city gate is lost, it will be difficult for the entire capital to be protected, and it will be difficult for the saint to be safe. It is to ask the minister to surrender the crime to Wuding Marquis Guo, and to prevent others from following suit. Moreover, from the perspective of the military department, the overall situation of the city's defense must be maintained by all troops. If I count this force when I am defending the city, but when he is actually in battle, he is fighting outside the city, and the defense of the city that this force is responsible for will become unavailable. Long live it. ”

"Hold on? Whether it's a death defense or a death defense now, I find it hard to say. If these news are true, then in a few days, the rice will be as expensive as a pearl among the capital teachers, and even the residents of the city will end up selling their children and daughters to survive. Not to mention the displaced people who have taken refuge in the city. So now I think it's good to fight a few battles and give the Mongols a little bit of power. When I go out of the city to fight, as long as I win, I will not hesitate to reward my military merits. And these letters were brought out of the Meng camp by Commander Yang, and I believed them to him. What I want to talk about now is how to deal with the big and rich merchants in the city......

After Yang Chengzu entered the city last night, he was sent to his home at the entrance of the Dengshikou overnight, and the female relatives of the family were frightened when they saw him covered in blood. Fortunately, there are many people who know martial arts, and there are a few who can heal knife wounds, and there are good medicines at home, and after careful inspection, it is found that although there are many injuries, there is nothing fatal, as long as you rest and recuperate, you can heal.

The women of the family let go of their hearts and gathered around the room, like the stars holding the moon. Princess Yongshou used her slender jade fingers and gently poked at his chest, "Something without conscience, almost scared a few of us to death, do you know, if I hadn't stopped me, these fools would have gone to the city to find death." ”

Yang Chengzu comforted these people with kind words, hugged them again, and talked about what happened to him. The women in front of him are all his own women, so there is no need to hide it, even the transaction with the Qi Mude Department is clear.

Yongshou nodded and said, "It's always a good thing to be able to lay a nail on the grassland." Although that Feihong Ketun may not be a good person, but now that she wants to fight for power with Bodie, she is always an object that can be used. It's not a bad thing to subsidize some of her soldiers' armor money and food. If you spend a penny on her, Bodie will have to spend ten pennies or even hundreds of pennies to stop the loss. Now I just hope that she can fight enough, and if we haven't invested much here, she will be defeated there. ”

"Probably not, a thousand-man team of Bodi fought with these guards for a while, and the losses were great. Don't look at the 100,000 people in the trapped Beijing Division, but Bodi's own capital is just two dissatisfied 10,000 people. A thousand-person team was disabled, which was enough for him to break his muscles and bones, as long as Luo Feihong could perform a little better, the entire grassland would not have a good life. Besides, I gave her that idea again, as long as the Mongols believe my words, they really make some kind of one-person-one-vote Great Khan, and then there will be a lot of excitement. ”

Yongshou poked him on the forehead, "A belly with bad eyes, don't talk about them, our family, I guess it will be lively soon." I heard the second sister say that the one who was trapped with you was the ninth lady of the Wuding Hou family. It's the one that I'm tired of being with you along the way, right? Although I haven't been in Beijing for a long time, I've also heard about the absurd old nine of the Guo family. When she enters the door, there is a mess in your house. ”

Yang Chengzu felt quite guilty, took Yongshou's hand, was speechless for a long time, and finally only said "Xiuchang, I'm sorry." ”

Zhu Xiuchang gently threw off her shoes, took the initiative to lean into Yang Chengzu's arms, and let the other party's hand hold her waist. "How? I'm better than that ridiculous old nine, right? In fact, she is not bad, you are also twenty years old, it is time to find a wife, otherwise what will others think of you? The Hou family of Wuding, although it is not a famous family, is also a noble, worthy of your identity. The Guo family has a lot of ways, and it will be good for you in the future. Although I am happy in my heart, I can't help it, who let me be born in the emperor's family, I am destined to not be your rightful wife. This time, I heard the second sister say that you almost gave away your life to save her, if I am still jealous of this little thing, I will become a bastard. Don't worry, over there in the Marquis of Wuding, I'll find a way to make sure they look up to you. ”

Two days later, Yang Chengzu's injuries finally improved, and immediately, the secret envoy of the Emperor of Jiajing brought him into the palace, and the monarch began to plan for the Mongolian side.
