383 Inside the Mandarin Palace
PS: Thank you rabit2011, lonely and lonely 55 for your support, thank you!
The reason why he dared to say this was because he already knew the latest battle situation. After waiting for two days, the latest battle report will be presented to the Imperial Palace. It is said that the city of Baodezhou was recovered, the county town of Fugu was recovered, the heavenly army was defeated, the heads of the thieves were as many as there were, and the rest fled into the grassland with their lives.
In this way, the impact of what happened in Shaanxi will be minimized, and at most the parties will be held accountable. This is the best result for the bigwigs in the DPRK and China.
This is also the countermeasure that the bigwigs of the DPRK and China discussed immediately after learning about the two wars. Strictly control the news channels, and they must know the further situation of the Heavenly Army, Emperor Chongzhen, a lonely man, also cut off his arm and abolished Dongchang and Jinyiwei, which is equivalent to becoming a blind and deaf person, which is the easiest to deal with.
Sure enough, after Emperor Chongzhen listened to the assurances of the military department, his face eased. In fact, he agrees with this view. To say that the elite border army of the imperial court couldn't defeat a group of disaster victims, he couldn't believe it anyway, and he wouldn't accept it.
I saw Emperor Chongzhen turn his head to look at Han Yi, the first assistant who was sitting on the round bench on the side, and instructed in a serious tone: "No matter what the outcome of the follow-up battle is, the relevant operational command is not effective, and those who recommend mediocre talents must be severely punished!" ”
Han Yi owed a debt, and made a low gesture and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, if such a disgraceful thing happens, the cabinet will definitely be strictly held accountable." Especially the person who recommends the mediocre talent, he will check to the end to see who else he has recommended, and then the officials will strictly check whether the recommended person is also mediocre. Your Majesty, what do you think is good? ”
Hearing Shoufu say this, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he was thoughtful. And so it goes. There are also mediocre talents who may mislead the country and the people, and they will also be discovered. It is indeed a good proposition to stop this humiliation from happening.
Emperor Chongzhen's face on Han Yi obviously improved, and he said kindly: "What Han Qing said and even reasoned about it, according to what Han Qing said, strictly investigate the recommender." ”
Han Yi listened, but he was still silent on the surface. The honor and disgrace were not shocked, and respectfully agreed. But I was very happy in my heart, turning my hands into clouds and covering my hands for rain, this feeling is very good, the old man's opponents are waiting to take over!
After solving this problem, Emperor Chongzhen's mood finally improved a little, and his mind diverged his thinking, and he remembered something else.
I only heard him say as if talking to himself: "The disaster situation in Shaanxi and other places is getting more and more serious, and those victims can't survive so they embark on the road of thieves." It's called the Heavenly Army. It is evident from this that the heavens should not be called, and the earth and the earth are not spiritual, and such a name is taken. ”
Han Yi and the military department Shangshu couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard Emperor Chongzhen's words. This name called the Heavenly Army, the first impression is indeed the same, but the true meaning of calling the Heavenly Army is completely opposite!
Han Yi was thinking about waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to finish speaking. Remind him, but before he can speak. I heard Emperor Chongzhen call out and say: "Han Qing? ”
Han Yi immediately bowed and replied, "The minister is here!" ”
"According to my intentions, I will give Yang Qing, the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, to give an edict, and I will be naked, and I should be appeased, and there is no need to kill." After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking slowly, he sighed silently.
Han Yi frowned when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice from afar: "Three hundred miles urgent, urgent military situation!" ”
When several people in the Wenhua Hall heard this, they couldn't help but look out. An emergency military situation will certainly not be a good thing! All of a sudden. The atmosphere in the hall that had just eased up a little became tense again.
Han Yi and Wang Qia glanced at each other, and their brows couldn't help frowning. Who was so reckless that he handed it directly to the royal court without going through the cabinet?
The eunuchs on duty soon forwarded the urgent report to the emperor, and Emperor Chongzhen immediately opened the long cylinder sealed with fire paint and took out a piece of music from it.
Han Yi and Wang Qia had no choice but to stare at Emperor Chongzhen's expression to guess whether the content of this urgent report was good or bad.
"Oh, it's Yuan Aiqing's urgent report!" Emperor Chongzhen looked at the cover, then raised his head and smiled and said to the two courtiers below.
When Han Yi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he came from Liaodong, and it would go straight to the front of the emperor, no problem.
And after Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he was guessing in his heart that Yuan Aiqing had been in Liao for five years, and I had also tried my best, asking for money and power, and it could be said that Yuan Aiqing had made a decision on the front line. This emergency military situation, shouldn't it be a victory to report the good news?
He thought wishfully, but selectively ignored that if he had won the battle, the messenger would have shouted Inspector Yuan's good news.
I saw him smile and open the piece and look at it, and as soon as he saw it, his face turned white, and then he quickly looked at it at a glance. After reading it again, I still didn't believe it, and I looked at it from the beginning again.
His actions made the two courtiers look at each other, what's wrong? Could it be that Yuan Chonghuan lost the battle?
When Han Yi thought about it, his face became ugly. I just said that I want to strictly investigate the recommenders who mislead the country and mediocre people in Shaanxi, don't want to give the opponent the truth, so that this matter will not be over, right?
He stared at Emperor Chongzhen's face and observed his words, but found that in addition to Emperor Chongzhen's pale face, the hand holding the chapter was still trembling slightly, staring blankly at the chapter.
After waiting for a long time, I still didn't see Emperor Chongzhen react. Han Yi and Wang Qia were a little panicked now, could it be that the matter was very serious, could it be that they lost Jinzhou?
"Your Majesty?" Han Yi screamed softly, but saw no reaction, and then raised his voice and shouted, "Your Majesty ......"
After screaming four or five times, Han Yi involuntarily stood up from the round stool, and Emperor Chongzhen came back to his senses.
I saw him suddenly stand up from the imperial chair, take the piece in his hand, and throw it at Han Yi's face, and at the same time roar loudly: "Look for yourself what your good students have done!" ”
Han Yi is Yuan Chonghuan's teacher, and he is also one of the bigwigs who introduced Yuan Chonghuan to Emperor Chongzhen. From a certain point of view, Han Yi and Yuan Chonghuan are a community of interests. If there is something to Yuan Chonghuan, Han Yi will definitely not be able to run.
In history, too, after Yuan Chonghuan was sentenced to death, Han Yi was also forced to resign and lose the throne of the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, he had never seen Emperor Chongzhen so angry, which made Han Yi a little panicked, and his hand when he went to pick up the chapter was trembling slightly.
When I opened the chapter, I saw at a glance that the shocking words were displayed in front of me: "The minister is guilty, and Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Zhenjiang, is punished for the twelve major crimes......"
After a long time, Han Yi's face returned to normal, he looked up at Emperor Chongzhen, who was glaring angrily, waiting for his reply, and said: "Your Majesty, people cannot be resurrected after death, only five years of peace can be expected......"
For these, Hu Guang naturally didn't know. At this time, he walked all the way forward with An Gui leading the way. (To be continued.) )
