Chapter 785: Believe it or not, admit it or not
readx;
There is silver to have a good year, the Spring Festival in the palace is different from the folk, extraordinarily luxurious and lively, the Wanli Emperor already likes this kind of wind and snow moon to play trouble, since Tianjin Wei has a million taels of gold and silver sent in, the palace of this festival is more. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, from the Spring Festival to the seventh day of the twelfth year of Wanli, it was still good, and the palace was full of laughter and laughter, but it was not as indulgent as in previous years, because the people in the palace were sensitive, and they could feel the worries of Emperor Wanli.
After the seventh day of the first month, the news from Shanxi began to become discontinuous, and Emperor Wanli's mood also deteriorated.
What is ironic is that during this period of time, there are not too many people in Jingshiyan, and the reason is very simple, at this time, it is the New Year, and no one has the time to continue to make trouble, so they can also take the opportunity to wait and see the situation.
The news received by Gong Ran was delivered by a messenger sent by Wang Tong, which was more intuitive and faster than what the civil and military officials and ministers in Xuanda heard about it.
But after the seventh day of the first lunar month, the news is not delivered every day, but the content of the news is not bad, it is nothing more than a smooth advance, the enemy cavalry is afraid of the power of our army and does not dare to approach Yunyun, but other newspapers sent from Shanxi are not like this, it is nothing more than the minister heard that the official army was defeated outside the Saiwai, and the slave maid heard that the army of religious captives gathered, and the official army could not resist, and there was a request to continue to send reinforcements and an urgent letter asking for help.
Emperor Wanli naturally believed in Wang Tong, he felt that the situation was good, and there was a point, the deputy general of Datong Town, Ma Dong's performance was quite objective, and what he said was also very true, saying that it was rumored that the troops and horses led by the governor Wang were defeated, and the ministers did not know the truth here, but the king was able to govern the army wisely, how could there be such a big defeat, and the naturalization city to the Datong border pass, the fast horse was only two days away, if there was anything, how could there be no trace.
The words are subtle, but Emperor Wanli also understands, which means that they all say that there is a big defeat, if it is really a rout, more than 5,000 cavalry will always have someone running to the side wall, why is there no trace, it can be seen that it is all remote.
The so-called three people become tigers, although Emperor Wanli believes it in his heart, he can't stand it and is always saying everywhere, and his mood is naturally not good, so on the twenty-fifth day of the first month, the news is completely cut off.
The clamor of the officials and scholars had gradually risen, and the news was really cut off, but everyone did not dare to confirm it, and the speech suddenly fell silent.
No matter how bad the situation is, a few defeated soldiers will run back to report the news, and the Tartars will also send people to show off their might, why is there no news at all, is it really surrounded, and none of them have escaped.
Until the 28th day of the first lunar month, public opinion was in an uproar, and some people began to angrily accuse Wang Tonghao for his great achievements that led to disasters to the country and the people, and for his own merits, regardless of the safety of the people of Li and the country, tens of thousands of soldiers died in foreign countries, and the peace of the frontier that had been maintained for decades was destroyed.
Such traitors and traitors should be convicted, exterminated from their families, and liquidated as soon as possible, otherwise there is no way to give justice to the people of the world, and there is no way to correct the laws and regulations of the country.
Some people have already invited themselves to Tianjin Wei to investigate the remnants of Wang Tong's party in the court, so as not to continue to harm the remnants, but Emperor Wanli, who has always shown no attitude, scolded angrily this time.
Compared with the chaos and confusion of Jingshi, the merchants of Tianjin Wei are very stable, although some big businessmen have also begun to prepare, but on the whole, there is no change and panic.
According to the statements of several leading figures, Lord Wang's killing of his godson is like cutting vegetables, when did he lose, he brought a few thousand heads back with 3,000 people to the grassland, and now this is an army of nearly 30,000, and the captives are not enough to kill.
............, "Zhang Banban, will there be anything wrong with Wang Tong?" ā
At today's court meeting, the second assistant Wang Xijue proposed to transfer the Liao Town Department to be stationed in Huangxian County, if the Jingshi has something, he can respond at any time, this is the first time that the bigwigs of Ran Ge and the six departments have clearly raised this matter, they are in a high position, and they must wait until the real result comes out to draw conclusions about anything.
At present, there is not a single official document from Datong, Shanxi, explaining the victory or defeat of Wang Tong's army, but every letterhead that comes from privately tells all kinds of rumors about Shanxi, and the rumors say that the army has been wiped out.
Wang Xijue raised this matter, in a sense, if it was the center's estimate of the battle situation, it was also very pessimistic, which made Emperor Wanli feel very bad.
When discussing the matter, Emperor Wanli naturally wouldn't show it, but after returning to the imperial study, he couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Cheng is old after all, and now he is the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and his affairs are complicated, even if he serves the emperor in the imperial study, he generally sets up a desk under the book case of the Wanli Emperor, and Zhang Cheng handles government affairs there.
Hearing Emperor Wanli ask this, Zhang Cheng frowned and raised his head from the fold, but he used a look at Zhao Jinliang, and Zhao Jinliang immediately opened the door of the imperial study and went outside.
Zhao Jinliang cleared his throat outside the door, and when the people in the house heard it, Zhang Cheng stepped forward and asked solemnly: "Long live the lord, the slave maid asked, can the governor of Xuanda and the governor of Datong have a report to say that the officers and soldiers led by Wang Tong were defeated?" The slave and maid are in charge of the clerical affairs in the celebrant supervisor, and they have never seen it, could it be that there is a secret fold? ā
With the relationship between Zhang Cheng and Emperor Wanli, even if it is a secret fold, it will not be hidden, this sentence can be said to be asked knowingly, Emperor Wanli was stunned, and said angrily: "Zhang Banban is selling Guanzi again, you also know what the widow said, now this situation" ......, Zhang Cheng confessed, but unceremoniously interrupted Emperor Wanli's words, and said: "Long live Lord, now Wang Tong's victory or defeat is unknown, and the Jingshi has become noisy like this. If you want to make money there, the slave and maid say something unlucky, I don't know if I win or lose, but if I know that I am defeated, what will I do? ā
Emperor Wanli was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, Emperor Wanli slapped the taro on the table fiercely, and said angrily: "If it is defeated, I am afraid that what the widow has at the moment will be taken away by them, and those who are finally caught will also be distributed to these people." ā
"Long live the Lord, although Tianjin Wei has nothing to say, but who in the world doesn't know that it is the Son of Heaven City, one of the sources of the inner library, but there are still so many people who ask to go to Tianjin Wei as an official, these days, the Jingshi noble family has sent people to intercede, this is where to put the Long Live Lord."
Zhang Cheng calmed his face and said coldly, Emperor Wanli's face was distorted, and he muttered and cursed "bastard" bastard", Zhang Cheng said again: "Long live the lord of power today, dictate the world, long live the lord of the world tomorrow even if there is today, but there is also Wang Tong every year to donate more than one million taels of gold and silver, the inner treasury is abundant, so that the long live lord can reward the generals of the forbidden army and the Beijing camp, seize the military power of the Beijing division, Wang Tong set up the public security department again, and rectify the brocade guard, so that the long live lord has smart ears and eyes, and can know everything about the wind and grass in the officialdom of the Beijing division." , Many things can be planned and decided in advance, and Wang Tong has established a tiger army to deter ill-intentioned people, and also let the long live lord make an order like an arm, and no one violates it"
"These couplets you said all know that Lian can be the true son of heaven today, Wang Tongli has immortal merits, but now is not the time to say this, Wang Tong's victory or defeat on the grassland is unknown, even life and death are unknown, what is the use of saying this...... "Long live the lord, if Wang Tong is defeated on the grassland, someone will inevitably hold him accountable, then everything is unstable, everything he does for the long live lord, there will be people who will question it, and there will be people who want to take it, when the time comes, the auxiliary may have to be weighted again, and the slave maid can't do this palm print, The other palm print may be the same as Feng Bao. ā
"Bump!" With a bang, Emperor Wanli slammed the table, gritted his teeth and said: "Lian is the Son of Heaven, who dares to offend Tianwei so much!" Do you want to be exterminated by the Nine Clans!? ā
Zhang Cheng didn't answer out loud, Emperor Wanli looked up a little impatiently, but now Zhang Cheng was bowing in one direction, but this direction was not facing himself, Emperor Wanli felt very strange, just about to ask but reacted, Zhang Cheng was rushing in the direction is not elsewhere, it is where Cining Palace is located.
"The queen mother's side" but the queen mother's side no longer asks about political affairs...... "Long live the lord, Marquis Wu Qing is now in charge of the Beijing camp." ā
"Uncle's side......
Wuqing Marquis Li Wei has died, Wuqing Marquis eldest son Li Wenquan raided the knight, when the Sanyang Sect was in turmoil, the people who held the military power needed to find a trusted person, Li Wenquan was naturally selected, to this day, this position has not been handed over, but the routine of the Beijing camp is to be managed by the right capital of the Imperial History and the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi who is the head of the military department, and the nobles of the governor of the Beijing camp generally have no real power.
But the power of the Empress Dowager Li is unparalleled, and now although it has faded out, no one can ignore the influence, and Li Wenquan, who is the brother of the Empress Dowager, naturally has different powers.
Emperor Wanli thought for a while, shivered unconsciously, and asked in a deep voice: "I don't know if Wang Tong will win or lose, but now this situation really can't do any good plans, what should the widow do?" ā
"Long live the Lord, the Beijing camp here is in a hurry to do nothing, the Imperial Horse Prison Warrior Battalion, the Four Guards Battalion, you can still catch it, I don't know how the situation is, but you should make plans in case, Tianjin Wei this year's gold and silver have been sent to the inner treasury, please Long Live Lord allocate money, pay the army in advance, collect the hearts of the army, reward the generals, stabilize their minds, it is really useful for that day, and it will not be caught off guard Long Live Lord nodded, Zhang Cheng said again: "Datong has no official document to come, that is, the march is in the battle, the result is unknown, Long Live Lord just recognized this article, that is, if Wang Tong is impeached and convicted at the moment, it is easy to be involved in Long Live Lord, and the Shanxi side will be confirmed one day later, and Long Live Lord will have one more day on his side. ā
Zhang Cheng groaned, and just opened his mouth and said, "Tianjin Namaru ......"
Outside, Zhao Jinliang's voice sounded, and he reported: "Long live the lord, the female official of Cining Palace, Hongyu, asks to see you."
