Chapter 342: Anticlimactic
Chapter 342: Anticlimactic
on Chang'an Street.
After a farce, the onlookers robbed the emperor of hundreds of thousands of silver coins, and this news became the headline of Beijing. In the streets and alleys, there are many discussions, talking about this ancient anecdote.
In the teahouse, it is the benefit of everyone exchanging news, and today's incident has become the headline gossip in everyone's mouth.
"Ahem, brother, did you hear about that?"
"What about it?"
"Isn't it the incident on Chang'an Street, the silver coin." Although the person who spoke whispered, the person next to him was still listening with pointed ears.
"I heard about it, I heard that the emperor lost hundreds of thousands of silver coins......"
"Really?"
"I've seen this with my own eyes, it's absolutely true, I turned over more than a dozen carriages, all of them were carriages pulling 2,000 pounds, and the boxes were full of silver coins, and they were scattered all over the street, and they were all white, dazzling, and ......" This person said as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Awesome, awesome......"
Those who are interested are even more inquired about the silver transported this time, how much silver was transported, and how much silver was lost, and they even asked the bottom of this.
Yang reform, as usual, summoned a lot of ministers to deal with things in the Wenhua Palace.
"Your Majesty, it's a big deal, it's a big deal...... a little eunuch rushed into the Wenhua Hall in a rage, regardless of any etiquette or etiquette, hundreds of thousands of silver coins were lost on Chang'an Street, what could be more than this?
Yang Gengai saw that he was a little eunuch, and he had a bottom in his heart, pretending to be fine, and said, "What's wrong?" Such a madness? Do you still want the rules in the palace? ”
The little eunuch was sweating all over his face, and he didn't have time to wipe his sweat, so he shouted with a sad look: "Your Majesty, it's really not good, the convoy transporting silver today was robbed...... The little eunuch ran out of breath, his whole body was soaked, his face was covered with sweat, and he looked sad.
"Robbed? What was robbed? Who grabbed it? Who is so bold? Yang asked pretendedly.
"Back to Your Majesty..., it was on Chang'an Street, it was a carriage that overturned the carriage carrying silver, and then it was picked up by the onlookers...... "The little eunuch said breathlessly.
Ah Qunchen had an accident, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, this kind of thing will happen, it is really strange that it can't be more unusual, there is no royal law, Ah Qun......chen all stared at the emperor to see how the emperor dealt with it.
Yang Gai frowned and asked, "How much silver did you lose......
"Back to Your Majesty, it is said that hundreds of thousands of silver coins were lost, there were too many onlookers, and as soon as the carriage carrying the silver was knocked over, it was immediately looted...... the little eunuch said hurriedly.
The ministers looked at the emperor with a look of surprise and surprise, the emperor is so powerful, even if he loses silver, he will lose hundreds of thousands of taels of silver coins at a time, he is worthy of being the emperor, he really has a royal demeanor, and he is bold enough.
"Hundreds of thousands? Is it 100,000 or 900,000? Yang Gengai pretended to be impatient and asked, this time it was a lie, and he had to act like a trick.
"Back to Your Majesty, I only said that a total of more than a dozen cars were overturned, and all the silver coins scattered out were snatched away. The exact amount has to be counted before we know...... "After resting for a while, this little eunuch has spoken neatly."
The ministers looked at the emperor with a playful expression. Hundreds of thousands of silver coins are missing, and the emperor is also a rich man, and if he loses money, it is calculated in hundreds of thousands.
"What about Fang Hongzan? What about people? Something happened, why didn't you see anyone? Yang Gengai looked angry and devastated in his face.
Yang Reform is thinking about Fang Hongzan, Fang Hongzan has already come by himself, this kind of thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if he doesn't come to see the emperor, there will really be a problem.
Fang Hongzan also came in to see the emperor with a sweat. Fang Hongzan didn't have time to speak.
A little eunuch ran outside, shouting as he ran: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......" This little eunuch ran out of breath like the one in front.
The ministers wondered, what's the matter, why is there another one? Today's incidents are one after another, and they all looked sideways at the little eunuch.
Yang Gai was even more puzzled, he seemed to have arranged one thing, why did he come to two little eunuchs? It's all such a desperate run, it stands to reason that it's not a big deal, the eunuchs will never "work hard" like this, isn't there something wrong? Yang was very puzzled.
“…… Your Majesty, Shaanxi seven or eight miles expedited, seven hundred miles expedited......" The little eunuch ran wildly, and finally shouted out the reason for his madness with the letter of seven hundred miles expedited.
A sentence of seven hundred miles in Shaanxi is urgent, and the ministers are nervous. Shaanxi is a powder keg, isn't it, something is wrong, otherwise, it wouldn't be so urgent? Seven hundred miles of urgency, it's not a big deal, who dares to use it? ,
Yang Reform was still wondering, as soon as he heard about Shaanxi's 700 miles of expeditious, he chuckled in his heart, knowing that things are not good, it will never be a good thing, and a good thing will never use 700 miles to expedite this kind of express, generally 400 miles is already very fast. Yang Gengai knew that the "performance" he prepared today would not have to be performed.
Tearing open the letter, Yang Gai read the letter, the letter was written by the new army of Shaanxi Baishui to suppress bandits, with Wu Sangui's signature and seal. There are two things mentioned above, the first thing is that Wang Er has been arrested, and the basic process is also written incidentally, Yang Reform is noncommittal, and the second thing is the fatal thing.
According to Wang Er's confession, there are people in Shaanxi who are going to raise flags to make trouble on the day of the summer heat, and are ready to come to the government everywhere. After reading it, Yang Gengai sighed, the peasant rebellion in Shaanxi has always come, and history is still happening.
Although it has its own million-dollar immigration project, the inertia of history is still the same, and it cannot be reversed in just a few months. Of course, Yang Reform also saw some hope from this letter, for example, this Wang Er, because of his own immigration project, chose to follow himself on this road, indicating that his million immigration project still worked to some extent, thinking of this, Yang Reform was relieved a lot, after all, he was not doing in vain.
Yang Gengai let out a long sigh, both relieved and helpless.
"Ladies and gentlemen, something big has happened in Shaanxi...... Yang Reform said to his ministers after he sighed.
The ministers are preparing to watch a good show, today the emperor was robbed of hundreds of thousands of silver coins, and before it was written, everyone was waiting for the emperor to give an explanation, and suddenly saw the emperor speak earnestly, and seemed to have endless emotion, and they were curious about what was going on.
"Wang Er, who killed officials and rebelled in Baishui, Shaanxi, has been captured." Yang Reform first announced the first news, this is indeed good news, Yang Reform listed this small and small boss as the first opponent of the new army, it was the right choice, according to what Wu Sangui wrote in the letter, and this group of people fighting, there is no loss at all, except for many people who vomit badly and are weak, Yang Reform is quite relieved, and it is also here. Leveling has always been practiced step by step, and fighting bosses has always been a small fight.
As soon as the ministers heard the news, they all congratulated the emperor, which was definitely a good thing.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, fortunately, Your Majesty is Shengming, the soldiers use their lives, this Wang Er is finally the Fa."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty......"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the new army has been successful, and it deserves to be the elite of the elite......"
The congratulatory voices of the ministers and the horses were sent one after another.
Yang Gengai looked at this ceiling, thinking in his heart how much history his intervention had changed, if there was no himself, according to the historical trajectory, there would never be tens of millions of silver relief, millions of immigrants, and there would never be today's Wang Er turned to surrender and survive, which shows that his own immigration has played a role, and it has played a great role, and it can already compete with the inertia of history.
The ministers all wondered, isn't this kind of thing worth rejoicing? Why is the emperor still sullen, he should be happy? Why is your face so bad?
“…… In order to survive, Wang Er said a big news, someone in Shaanxi is in series, and they are ready to raise the flag to rebel on the day of the summer ......, and they will bloom everywhere with me......" Yang Gengai saw that the ministers looked incomprehensible, and explained.
yes
call
……
The ministers exclaimed
Then, the Wenhua Hall became a pot of porridge.
"How can this be? Didn't Your Majesty have tens of millions of silver to help the immigrants? Why do they still rebel? What a wolf's ambition."
"That's it, the wolf's ambition will never succeed, now, Xu Zi first immigrated in Shaanxi, and scattered tens of millions of taels of silver, even if he moved the people of Shaanxi, they want to rebel, I'm afraid it's a dream......"
"It's ......"
“…… It's not going to work......"
This matter is called a big deal, and the fact that the emperor lost hundreds of thousands of silver coins just now has become a passing cloud, and no one pays attention to it, and they have discussed this matter.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should be able to inform the guards in various parts of Shaanxi, so that they can prepare and prepare for suppression in the whole of Shaanxi, just in case of accidents." Liu Yanyuan, the secretary of the military department, took the lead in standing up and giving advice to the emperor.
Liu Yanyuan said this, and the ministers reacted, and it was time to get down to business.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this should be the case, and he should send someone to inform the governor of Shaanxi in a timely manner, inform the places in Shaanxi, and be prepared to strictly prevent and control the ...... of the series of rebellions."
"Ministers approve ......"
A group of ministers have agreed to this matter, and it is rare for the ministers to have a unanimous opinion.
"What day is the summer?" Yang Gengai asked weakly, fortunately he has made preparations for the realization, fortunately there is a new army in Shaanxi, otherwise, relying on these people to govern the country and not perish, is there still heavenly reason?
"Back to Your Majesty, it seems to be the day after tomorrow, today it is twenty-one, and the summer is twenty-three, it should be the day after tomorrow......" This minister has a good memory, and immediately came out to explain the emperor's doubts. [Note: Originally, the performance of this chapter was written on July 20, but for the needs of the plot, it was deliberately rerouted to 21, think about it, running from Shaanxi Baishui to Beijing, I am afraid that I can't run for two days, so, here, it is more reasonable to use three days, explain it here. 】
"Yes, the day after tomorrow is the summer heat, there are still two days to go, how useful do you think it will be to inform Shaanxi now?" Yang Reform weakly "reminded" the bigwigs in the court: You do things professionally, is it good.
The ministers were embarrassed for a while, and there would be problems if they followed others
"Your Majesty, fortunately, the news is from Shaanxi, presumably Shaanxi has already received the news at this time. In addition to the border army in Shaanxi, there are guards in various places, and His Majesty's new army, which has recently learned the news in advance, which is a great blessing...... "Liu Yanyuan, the secretary of the military department, is also ashamed, but he is also a secretary of the military department, and he knows more about military affairs than ordinary people, and he also knows a lot of the emperor's arrangements, so after a little embarrassment, he found the key to the matter.
"Well, Liu Aiqing, that's right, this news was learned by Wu Sangui, the leader of the new army, and according to him, it was obtained from the traitor Wang Er on the 18th, and he wanted to use this news to exchange his life, and he has promptly notified the governor of Shaanxi, Bi Zisu, the official mansions, health offices, new army, and Shaanxi side, because they should all know." Yang Gai said that for the first time, he introduced Wu Sangui's name to the bigwigs in the court, which could be regarded as an advertisement for the new army, so that Wu Sangui could be registered in the hearts of the bigwigs.
When the ministers heard this, they praised one after another, this time, this matter was handled in a timely manner, what Wu Sangui was, but he made a contribution.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, this matter, in the end, Your Majesty's blessings, so that the vicious plans of those wolf ambitions cannot succeed, and save my tens of millions of people" also sent a sycophant to the minister.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, this matter is really blessed by God, so that the imperial court knows about those people's rebellion plans in advance, but it can be dealt with calmly, Your Majesty Hongfu ......" Another minister's sycophant was also sent.
Yang Reform was very depressed, it stands to reason that if such a major event occurs, wouldn't it be the establishment of an emergency command center with full authority to command matters related to this matter? Dealing with this matter, this group of people talked about it as if they were talking about something that had nothing to do with them, as if they were talking about someone else's business.
Yang reformed his hands pressed, and the ministers immediately stopped talking, and looked at the emperor respectfully, seeing what the emperor said.
"Immediately notify all parts of Shaanxi, take precautions, Shaanxi's guard posts, enter a state of alert, to be ready to fight at any time, notify the surrounding provinces of Shaanxi, take precautions, so as not to flow traitors, and inform Bi Zisu to let him suppress it with all his might, not to be tolerated, those who refuse to follow me are rebellions, traitors, and there is no forgiveness for killing, I authorized him to mobilize Shaanxi soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress this series of rebellions, and in addition, urgently send someone to send 300,000 silver coins over as an advance military expenses, and later, I will send silver coins to the past, this, Send someone out at once. "Yang Reform is also sad, when he encounters this group of unprofessional rulers, he can't do a few hands, and there is really a danger of losing the country. Yang Reform Secretly Qing was not the Chongzhen he was earlier, and he didn't care much about the affairs of Shaanxi, so that he ended up hanging.
The emperor gave an order, and immediately another person recorded it, and then wrote it on the spot, and immediately took it to use the seal, and immediately sent it out. The speed of doing things has risen sharply, and this is what makes it look like a militaristic event.
"In addition, inform Master Xu that Shaanxi's rebellion and rebellion may affect the safety of the immigration officer, so Master Xu must pay attention to this aspect, and I can't afford to lose an immigration officer." Yang Reform has always been concerned about this matter in his heart, immigration is a thing that can shake the inertia of history, that is to say, this is a thing against the sky, against the sky, the most afraid is to die halfway, if so, this against the sky is impossible, to affect the inertia of history, to change history, that is unwilling, therefore, Yang Reform on this matter, is nagging and nagging, for fear of dying a few Jinshi, his own immigration can not continue, in that way, the project against the sky will be forced to end, I want to go against the sky, that is a fantasy. ,
Immediately another person recorded it, and then took it to seal it, ready to send it out, and the speed of the state apparatus rose sharply.
"Wang Er's business, hang it up for the time being, don't kill it, wait until I finish this matter, and then talk about Wang Er's business, he said such a big news, if it is true, if it really saves my dynasty from huge losses, perhaps, I can save his life." Yang Gengai saw that Wu Sangui had the intention of interceding for this Wang Er in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Wu Sangui was selling, so he hung up the matter and waited for the detailed report to arrive.
"But, Your Majesty, if this Wang Er's rebellion against the second killing official is not killed, it is not enough to anger the people, and it is not enough to deter Xiaoxiao, won't Wang Zhixian die in vain? Your Majesty, if this is the case at this time, won't everyone kill officials and rebel in the future? "Immediately another person stood up and spoke for the ruling class, no matter what, Wang Douyao is a member of the ruling class, and there is no punishment for those who kill him, this is absolutely not okay, and in the future, the ruling class will not have any retribution.
Among the ministers, there are also many who echo it. But there are also many people who do not speak.
"I said, this matter, hang up, kill or not, let's talk about it in the future, now, the military affairs are ahead, but I don't have time to say this, besides, it depends on how much credit this news has, this matter, I will talk about it in the future." Yang Gengai saw that this group of people was not professional in governing the country at all, and when did they still argue with this trivial matter, so he made a conclusion on this matter.
The ministers didn't speak. Someone immediately wrote it down and took it to use the seal.
"Half an hour later, a war meeting will be held on the platform to discuss the counterinsurgency in Shaanxi, and all relevant personnel must be present, and today's political affairs will be here." Yang Reform has "holy referee", these unprofessional personnel, discussing the war with them, is really not the right mouth, Yang Reform thinks it is more reliable to go to the platform. The atmosphere of war there is a bit stronger, and it is better to deal with general government affairs here.
……
The ministers left, some went to the platform, and some went back.
Yang Reform left Fang Hongzan, and the things he performed by himself were anticlimactic, but he didn't expect that the well-planned things would end like this. But fortunately, it is such a big thing that can make those idiots even more confused.
"Fang Hongzan, what are you going to do about the silver coin?" Yang asked Gengai.
Fang Hongzan was most afraid of seeing the emperor, he would be afraid of the emperor from the bottom of his heart, and when he saw the emperor's culture, he immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is going to send someone to recover the silver coins that were taken, I believe that as long as you send Jinyi Guard, it should be relatively easy." ”
"Well, you have to be civilized in this matter, don't be rude, understand? If you want to be civilized and lose some silver coins, I'm not afraid, and I won't blame you, I can't get rid of the affairs of Shaanxi now, and I don't have time to care about this matter, so you should pay more attention to yourself. Yang reformed and commanded.
