Chapter 477: Donglin

After sending Bi Ziyan away, Yang Reform relaxed a little.

"Your Majesty, what you should have seen is finally over." Wang Chengen said with concern, now, the last person who needs to be seen is over, the emperor should always be able to take a rest, looking at the emperor who has been tired for a day, Wang Chengen is very distressed.

"Well, it's over, in addition, send a message to Fan Weicheng, early tomorrow morning, I will see the front page of the newspaper severely reprimanding the salt merchants, I want to have more articles in these aspects, if Liu Zongzhou has an article, let him be on it." Let him close the good house, what news should be on and what news should not be up, let him be more attentive, don't spoil my business......" Yang Gai said. Although this is done, it is not over, there are still many things that need to be done, and it is far from over.

"The slave and maid obeyed, so they sent someone to spread the news." Wang Chengen immediately agreed.

"Well, Master Xu is now in Jiangnan." Yang Reform asked inexplicably.

"Back to Your Majesty, because it should be almost gone, going down the Yellow River is extremely fast, not like 6 roads, even if you don't arrive, if Your Majesty wants to send a letter to Master Xu, you should go directly to Jiangnan to find someone." Wang Chengen thought for a while and said.

"Well, got it, what about the kneeling officials?" Yang Reform said again.

"Back to Your Majesty, it will be dispersed when it gets dark, and the slaves and maids will send the factory guards to follow, and now many of them are heading towards the house of the old Han Ge, and they are probably discussing what to deal with Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you want the slaves and maids to send someone to arrest them?" Wang Chengen thought about it and said with a serious expression.

Han Yi? This old man is the boss of the Donglin Party, and now that he has caught them off guard, it is time for them to go to this leader to discuss things, but this Donglin Party boss ...... Hey, hey, hey, it's not over yet, and it's getting more and more interesting.

"It's no need to catch it, although there is still some energy, but it can't turn over the wind and waves, continue to monitor it, in addition to them, the news everywhere inside and outside the city can't be let go, at this time, the factory guards have to cheer up, who dares to leave their posts without permission, bad things, I can't spare him." Yang Reform also said, now, such a big thing, if according to the worst plan, it is necessary to send troops into the city, change the city guards, defend the army, and impose a curfew, however, today's situation is much better than the worst situation expected, so that there is no need to make such a big move, however, the outside is loose and the inside is indispensable, although there is no army sent into the city, and there is no change of guards everywhere, but the factory guards are dispatched, which is essential.

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed.

"By the way, what time is it?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's about three o'clock at this time." Wang Chengen, who was about to go out to run errands, replied again. After answering, Wang Chengen did not go out immediately, waiting to see if the emperor had anything else.

Although Yang Reform said that he was not worried about those diehards, in fact, he still had hidden worries in his heart, thought left and right for a moment, and said, "Please Master Xu to come here." ”

"Slaves obey!" Wang Chengen immediately agreed, and waited to see if the emperor still had something to order.

Yang Gengai waved his hand and said, "Go ahead......"

Wang Chengen went out to do errands.

After Wang Chengen went out, Yang Reform had a moment of leisure, in this ancient time, the lights were far less bright than in the future, even if a lot of candles were lit, Yang Reform still felt a little dim, some dark corners of the room, the light was still not transparent.

Yang Gengai stared at the dark corner of the room for a while, took a ginger candy into his mouth, and walked straight out.

After pushing the door open, it was a starry sky, exceptionally bright.

The cold wind blew on the warm body, and Yang reformed and felt extremely comfortable.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty!"

Yang Gengai looked back, but it was Sun Chengzong who arrived.

Wang Chengen had already returned, and when he saw the emperor standing under the starlight, he seemed to be looking up at the starry sky and pondering, so he didn't disturb the emperor.

"Oh, Master Sun!" Yang Gai answered, and then entered the room. Sun Chengzong and Wang Chengen also followed.

"From today on, the General Staff will always follow me, wherever I go, the General Staff will follow me, and now that I have arrived in the Taimiao, the General Staff will also move to the Taimiao." The first thing Yang reformed was about the General Staff.

"Command!" Sun Chengzong agreed without much thought, in fact, the staff department has almost moved to the Taimiao, but this will is more clear. ,

"Just got the news of the factory guard, those stubborn guys still refuse to give up, and they all gathered at Han Ge's old house......" Yang Gai said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, are you worried that someone will gather a crowd to rebel? …… Your Majesty can rest assured, the court has already divided the victory and defeat, no matter how much these people discuss, they will not dare to openly rebel, the guards and officers everywhere in the city, all thinking of His Majesty's good, will definitely not be involved in this matter, without His Majesty's holy decree and military orders, who dares to move? Sun Chengzong listened to what the emperor said and immediately said.

"It's not, they went to find Han Yi, why should I worry about them? I just thought, since they went to find Han Yi, then the affairs in the court are basically solved, and the rest is to raid the house in the south and change the salt class, I have already sent Master Xu to the south in advance, and there are Jinyi Wei to go there to use the knife, and everything that should be obtained will be obtained, and then let Master Xu take over the aftermath, almost it's okay, by the way, let Master Xu preside over the salt change class, to kill more than one stone, I am now worried that Master Xu is weak, not enough manpower, and lacks some effective strength, my thoughts are, Taking advantage of the construction of the new warships in the Jiangnan Shipyard, send a group of new troops to receive the new warships, and when necessary, you can support Master Xu and help the ......, or, borrowing the south to protect the fishery, it is also ......, now that the people are collecting my taxes, I am angry......" Yang Gaiai explained his intentions with a smile.

It's not good for those people to find someone, they want to find Han Yi, this old fox, he has long been the owner of two boats, and the wind is strong and he will fall there, and now he has taken refuge in himself, to find him, it is better to find a rope to hang himself, I am afraid that after they finish discussing with the front foot, they will know all the content on the back foot, this political struggle is really dangerous, some people have already put their feet into hell, and it is still unknown. Since this is already the case, then the salt merchant, the salt class dispute, this is the end, the rest is to go to Jiangnan to copy the house with peace of mind, so many salt merchants in Jiangnan, it is estimated that the house will be copied until the hands are soft, and the silver has to be piled up, just some pre-arranged Jinyiwei and Xu Guangqi, Yang Reform is afraid that there will be not enough manpower, Yang Reform is ready to add more manpower to the past.

When the emperor met with several cabinets, when he made promises to several cabinets, Sun Chengzong was not present, but he did not see the scene of Han Yi defecting to the emperor, otherwise, it would not be strange that the emperor would say this, seeing that the emperor was full of confidence, Sun Chengzong did not ask much, and said: "Your Majesty, at this time, if you want to go to the south, you can only take 6 ways, the sea route has been closed, you can't go, if Your Majesty wants to send a new army over, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time." ”

"Why?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Your Majesty forgot, the sea is frozen." Sun Chengzong said.

"Uh......" Yang Gengai touched his forehead again and again, he forgot about it, this is not the 21st century, there are trains and planes, and troops can be transferred at any time, and suddenly I felt that this cold wind was really cold.

"Again, Your Majesty, the salt merchant, the matter of the salt class, after all, it has not yet reached the point of using the sword, since the court has divided the victory and defeat, the locality, it is impossible to turn the wind and waves, there are Jinyi Wei and Zi first in the south, it is enough, Your Majesty, at this time to send troops or be cautious, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, if it is to send someone to receive the warship, ready to go to protect the fishing, it is not impossible, but the minister thinks that it is better to wait for the beginning of the year, the sea is unfrozen, and it is better to take the waterway......" Sun Chengzong proposed, a long time, The emperor mentioned to him whether to deploy some new troops in the south in advance, so as not to be passive at that time, but Sun Chengzong vetoed them one by one, Sun Chengzong believed that it was not appropriate to use the new army in this matter, so as not to exacerbate the matter from the beginning, find excuses for those people, and do not show that the emperor was ready to kill people in advance.

Yang Reform actually felt sorry for the silver, and used the new army to raid the house, and the silver must be more, and no one dared to embezzle himself, but sending the new army over is bound to cause many people to speculate, and it will definitely cause a big backlash. The situation is much better than expected, and at this time, Yang Gengai regrets that he did not send a new army over earlier, and he is suffering from gains and losses.

"That's it, that's it, if you lose some money, you will lose some, just don't send the new army over for the time being, this fishing protection, let's talk about it later......" Yang Reform, who suffers from gains and losses, still doesn't plan to send the new army over, how to say, this is also a domestic contradiction, and it is still a "criminal case", not to the point of rebellion, the means are too intense, and it is also a bad precedent to go directly to the new army, or forget it, Xu Guangqi also has a lot of manpower anywhere, plus Jinyiwei, it should be enough, lose some silver, At least this salt class is in hand, people can't be too extravagant. ,

……

On the Cabinet University Scholar Han Yi's Mansion, the lights are bright, and the carriage in front of the door is jammed.

Many ministers rushed here to discuss things overnight, and the emperor suddenly involved the salt merchants with the Jin Shang case, which caught them off guard.

The living room was crowded with officials from the Donglin Party.

Han Yi, as a cabinet scholar and a bigwig of the Donglin Party, is of course here.

In the living room, some people are anxious and yellow-skinned, while others are strolling around with natural complexions.

Liu Zongzhou, as a member of the Donglin Party, is also among them, but his appearance is weird, and he looks like this has nothing to do with me, but it doesn't matter, why did he come to someone else's house? From time to time, he looked at everyone present, as if he was looking for his "comrade".

In this living room, all kinds of people, all kinds of looks, all kinds of thoughts are mixed together.

"Elder Ge, what should I do? His Majesty involved the salt merchant in the Jin merchant case, and this brocade guard has gone to the south, what can I do? Gotta figure figure it out! Otherwise, if it's too late, it will be doomed! A tall, thin official with yellow skin and chapped lips cried anxiously that some people had too close a relationship with the salt merchants, and that the salt merchants had fallen and they were finished.

"Yes! Ge Lao, you are a cabinet scholar, you have to think of a way! I have to think of a way to let His Majesty take back his life! A chubby official also said anxiously.

The hall immediately erupted in a clamour.

"Listen to the old man." As soon as Han Yi came back, when he saw these officials, he had a helpless expression, and when he heard everyone's discussions, he said with a helpless expression.

The crowd fell silent.

"Alas, this matter, at this time, it is too late, the wood is already in the boat, and there is no way to return to the sky! It is impossible to get His Majesty to take back his fate! This matter, Hugh will mention it again, the salt merchants are unlucky, this is also their own self-deprecation, when the country is difficult, but they don't want to serve the country, and they collude with the Dongyu, they must be scolded by the people pointed out by the thousands of people, how to save it? The old man also advises you to cut off the relationship with the salt merchant as soon as possible, and there is still time to ......" Han Yi immediately cleared up the relationship, and it was obvious that he was on the emperor's side, as a pavilion elder, he was better informed than many people in all aspects, and after analyzing the forms of all parties, Han Yi wisely chose to stand on the emperor's side.

Han Yi's words also disappointed many Donglin parties, who thought that they could unite and force the emperor to take back his fate, but he didn't expect that the leading figure on his side would say such a thing.

"Elder Ge, why did you say such a depressing thing, Your Majesty was deceived and confused, so that you made a mistake, as a courtier, we should correct Your Majesty's mistakes, how can we sit back and watch Your Majesty do anything wrong?" A pale-faced official said with a strong spirit, but the words were quite pale.

"How to correct it? Your Majesty forced you to go to the crown by yourself, could it be that we, as courtiers, really forced Your Majesty to abdicate, so how can we deal with ourselves? If this happens, how will the world think of us? Do we still have the face to live in this world? Han Yi said with a distressed and helpless expression.

"Elder Ge, that is Your Majesty has been deceived, as long as we unite as one and show our true feelings to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely understand our hard work." The pale-faced official changed his story.

"It's useless, Your Majesty is Shengming today, Your Majesty dares to force me to wait with his own crown, that is, he is completely prepared, how can he wait for us to say nothing? At that time, as long as the old man slowed down a little, this matter would really be doomed, and the only place where I could go was West Lake to kneel with Qin Hui......" Han Yi also smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

"No, Ge Lao, even if Your Majesty really goes to the crown by himself, as long as I wait for death, Your Majesty will definitely take back my fate, I don't believe it, Your Majesty will really go to the crown by yourself." Another said.

"That's it! Pavilion Elder, if Your Majesty refuses to take back your order, I will go to the Kneeling Gate, go to the Heavenly Gate, until you kneel to death, and see what Your Majesty will do......" Another person with a panicked face also shouted.

Many people have agreed, but some people are watching from the wall, such as Liu Zongzhou.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the old man advises, this matter should not be mentioned again, if kneeling can work, there will be no such fiasco in the court today...... The inside story is not what you can imagine......" Han Yi said helplessly.

Han Yi's actions have long made some Donglin parties unaccustomed to it.

"When did Elder Ge become an imperial party? Speaking for others? As the leader of Donglin, where is the backbone of Donglin? When did you become a lackey who grovels and humiliates ......" An official with a scorched face and a bearded face suddenly shouted wildly, Han Yi's performance at the early court meeting today, and his performance at this time had already made him unbearable. ,

"Presumptuous ......" Han Yi was furious, took a few cases, and stood up angrily.

"If you wait to cover Your Majesty for personal gain, the old man will not be able to talk about you, could it be that you really want to force Your Majesty to go to the crown, and then force Your Majesty to go to the emperor's title? Could it be that you still want to force Your Majesty to abdicate? Do you still want the word loyalty and filial piety? Throughout the ages, have you been such courtiers? Your Majesty really went to crown himself, do you still have the face to live in this world? There is only one place for you to go, that is, the kneeling statue of Qin Hui on the edge of the West Lake, where is your future destination, and now, if you still die without repentance, what else do you want? Han Yi immediately said angrily.

"Hahaha...... I didn't expect that the leader of the Donglin Party really became the Imperial Party, no wonder, no wonder, hahaha......" The official of Su Ling just now suddenly laughed wildly, very terrifying, and suddenly stood up and turned to leave.

In the hall, the expressions of the Donglin Party were different, some were surprised, some were panicked, and some were calm.

Han Yi's actions have long made some Donglin parties unaccustomed to it.

"When did Elder Ge become an imperial party? Speaking for others? As the leader of Donglin, where is the backbone of Donglin? When did you become a lackey who grovels and humiliates ......"
