Wang Chengen was very pleased, the children of the year have finally grown up, and it is commendable that although they are thousands of miles away, they always have each other in their hearts, and do their best to share each other's worries, which makes Wang Chengen feel a lot, but when he thinks of his stubborn old friend Mu Yanzi, Wang Chengen is angry.
Since Zhu Yujiao opened her mouth, and there was the help of Mu Yuling's girl behind her, Wang Chengen naturally would not wait to ignore it, and nodded her head in agreement with a wry smile at the moment, and ordered Huaide to take Zhu Yujiao to change into the clothes of a little eunuch, and gave thousands of instructions, which led Zhu Yujiao into the main hall of Qianqing Palace.
The Chinese military officials in the main hall were ready, and after the mountain call was long lived, the discussion began. Wang Chengen arranged Zhu Yujiao in an inconspicuous corner, and then quietly returned to his original position.
Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, went out to supervise the army, and the first civilian official today is Yang Sichang, a scholar of the East Pavilion University, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and a minister in charge of the military department.
The atmosphere of today's court meeting was a little depressing, and Yang Sichang couldn't help but be a little anxious. Emperor Chongzhen trusted him, and more importantly, Yang Sichang's strategy of "four positive six corners and ten sides of the net" has received excellent results. Yang Sichang's recommendation of Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, has won successive battles. forced the remnants of Li Zicheng into Shangluo Mountain, but due to the complicated terrain, it has not been possible to catch Li Zicheng and other bandit leaders. And Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others have already had to surrender to Xiong Wencan, so that Yang Sichang, who was above the court, naturally had the confidence to be in the limelight for a while.
Living in the high temple, it is natural to have foresight, and finally stabilized the situation of quelling the chaos, and the opposition of the DPRK and China suddenly weakened a lot, but Yang Sichang did not dare to take it lightly. There are many factions within the civilian bureaucracy. A little careless. It is a situation from which there is no return. Since the time of the Renzong Dynasty, the cabinet has been a heroic place and a hero's mound, and how many ministers have fallen into the sand here. Arrived in the Chongzhen Dynasty. The cabinet change is more like a marquee. It is dazzling, and in order to consolidate his position and power, he must come up with more prominent political achievements.
And so. Yang Sichang was determined to make a risky move. First, concentrate a qiē resource to quell the rebellion of the thieves, secretly negotiate peace with the Manchus outside the Guanwai, and then recuperate and strive to settle Liaodong in a war. In this way, who else can shake his status as Yang Sichang's "Zhongxing Famous Minister".
Fortunately, he finally found two of his most important allies, Emperor Chongzhen and Gao Qiqian, who was in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and supervised the soldiers and horses of the world. With the support of these two people, Yang Sichang felt that he could completely accomplish this seemingly impossible thing.
It's just recently, in the market of Jingshi, there was some strange news suddenly. The news of Zhou Yuanzhong, the envoy sent by Gao Qiqian and Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, suddenly spread all over the streets and alleys.
This made Yang Sichang very worried. Chongzhen had already agreed to the matter of peace, but when it came time to actually express his position, he refused to spit out. In this way, Yang Sichang was pushed into a dilemma. Half a year ago began the peace talks, until now did not discuss a reply to the Manchus outside the Guan, the Manchus are simply and directly raised troops into the Kou, the two armies swept through the north of the north Zhili Hebei land, these days, Yang Sichang many times secretly entered the palace to face the saint, hoping that Chongzhen "Shengjian Yunxing", make a decision as soon as possible, promulgate a will, even if it is a secret decree, as far as possible to reach an agreement with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so as to free up his hands to exterminate the remnants of the Liukou. Yuan Chonghuan learned from the past, Yang Sichang didn't want to end up with a thousand cuts.
But Emperor Chongzhen is still the first rat at both ends, hesitating.
So there was today's court meeting, and Emperor Chongzhen planned to test the meaning of the hundred officials again, and then make a decision. Yang Sichang squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and then made up his mind. The reason why Chongzhen hesitated was to hope that Lu Xiangsheng would be able to repel the Qing army so that he could get rid of the embarrassing situation of having to negotiate peace with the Manchus, that is to say, Chongzhen was still waiting for news from Lu Xiangsheng.
This shows that if Yang Sichang wants to persuade Chongzhen to insist on peace talks, he must first solve the unstable factor of Lu Xiangsheng. Thinking about this, Yang Sichang suddenly had an idea.
As soon as Chongzhen's short opening remarks were finished, Yang Sichang hurriedly stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!" ”
There was a quiet place above the court, everyone knew that although Yang Sichang had not officially entered the cabinet at present, he was in the position of the first assistant, and since he stood up, no one would say anything.
"Xuanda Governor Lu Xiangsheng led the troops to a decisive battle with the Kou Tartars, three defeats in Qingdu, and then the troops were stationed in Zhending, and the ministers had just received an urgent report from the Jize garrison before the meeting, and Lu Xiangsheng actually led the army to Guangping and Shunde without authorization. The minister thought that Lu Xiangsheng was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and wanted to support the army to protect himself, so the minister asked the court to issue a decree to remove Lu Xiangsheng to the Beijing Division Yamen to punish the crime, and replace him with an officer! ”
As soon as the words came out, the hall was in an uproar, and even Emperor Chongzhen was stunned. "Is there such a thing? Can it be true? ”
"It's true! It is expected that the battle report will also arrive in the capital division within today's time, and it will be presented in front of the imperial court! ”
"Lu Xiangsheng is bold!" Emperor Chongzhen, who was dressed in a crown robe, was furious, when Lu Xiangsheng left Beijing, he swore in front of the emperor that he would die ten thousand times to repay the court, but he couldn't imagine that now he has tens of thousands of troops and left without a fight, how can Emperor Chongzhen accept it!
"Where's Luo's nourishment?"
Luo Yang was excited, and hurriedly stood out of the queue, "The minister is here!" ”
"Ordered Jinyi Guard to ...... quickly!"
Emperor Chongzhen was about to kill Luo Yangxing, and immediately sent Tiqi to Hebei to arrest Lu Xiangsheng and enter Beijing to ask for the crime. A voice suddenly came from the civil official queue, "Your Majesty, the old minister has a book to play!" ”
Everyone in the Chinese martial arts hall was stunned, and no one expected that someone would dare to interrupt when Chongzhen was angry, so they all curiously explored in the direction where the voice came from.
In the crowd, a civil official who was also in a scarlet robe slowly walked out, about fifty years old, with a long beard that was already more white and less black, a fat body, and his pace was not slow.
Seeing clearly who was speaking, Chongzhen, Yang Sichang, and all the civil and military forces were stunned.
The old man in the scarlet robe came to the front of the imperial stairs under the gaze of everyone, stood beside Yang Sichang, and bowed calmly.
Wang Chengen looked at Chongzhen cautiously and found that Chongzhen did not become more angry because of this person's appearance, on the contrary, he deliberately suppressed his anger and nodded to himself.
Wang Chengen immediately lifted his robe, trotted down the imperial steps to the old man in the scarlet robe, leaned close to his ear, and shouted loudly: "Old He Ge, you are good, the emperor asked you if you have any chapter to play, although it is played!" ”
After shouting three times with great effort, the old man seemed to hear Wang Chengen's words clearly, nodded, and as soon as he spoke, his voice was several times higher than that of others, and the sound of urns echoed in the hall, causing many people to frown.
"The old minister wants to impeach Chen Xinjia, the right attendant of the military department, today!"
One sentence suddenly made everyone dumbfounded. Fools know that today's military department is also in charge of Yang Sichang, and this Chen Xinjia is a cadre under Yang Sichang, and he was recommended to the military department as the right attendant, and the right capital imperial history, and the governor Xuanda military. This old guy has nothing to do when he is full, and he impeached these two red and purple people for what they do.
Yang Sichang's face was a little unbearable. He is very familiar with the old man in front of him, this person is a famous minister of Chongzhen, and he is the only "deaf minister" of the Ming Dynasty. It is an old courtier who has gone through three dynasties, a Jinshi born in the forty-fourth year of Wanli, and the old calendar Huanhai, known as the Qing name, is the mainstay of the Qingliu civil officials. Since Chongzhen was added to the title of prince and promoted to a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion in the ninth year, he has been a member of the cabinet.
Because his family was poor and deaf due to illness since he was a child, he did not participate too much in government affairs in the cabinet, and the title of cabinet scholar was more like the honorary title given to him by Emperor Chongzhen. But this man is upright and frugal, and his incorruptibility is known to the world.
Yang Sichang usually respects him, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came up today, he preemptively impeached his right and left hand Chen Xinjia.
"He Ge ......!" Yang Sichang wanted to say a few words, but He Fengsheng waved his hand, "Yang Shangshu, today is justice, not the old man deliberately targeted, this point, please take care of it." ”
Saying this, Yang Sichang couldn't speak anymore, so he had to shut his mouth honestly and listen to He Fengsheng start to speak.
"The old minister's recital today is a matter of great importance, and the time is urgent, the old minister will directly report it to the ministers in the future, and ask the emperor for forgiveness!"
He Fengsheng unhurriedly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wang Chengen, who rushed to pass it to Chongzhen's hand.
Chen Xinjia, the right attendant of the military department, issued an order to the military department without authorization, ordering Wang Pu, the chief military officer of Datong, Shanxi, to withdraw his troops from the front line of Beizhili, which almost caused a catastrophe. The old minister asked His Majesty to issue a decree to thoroughly investigate his crime of unauthorized power and self-dictatorship! ”
The hall suddenly exploded with a bang. "Didn't Wang Pu die in battle? Why did it become an escape from the battle, what happened in the army of Hebei Xuanda, why was it so chaotic? "Everybody has such a question.
He Fengsheng's words came out, but Wang Chengen, who was standing behind Chongzhen, had a gleam in his eyes. Zhu Ping'an and Lu Xiangsheng didn't have the courage to untie the lid, but they didn't expect it to be opened by He Fengsheng, where did He Fengsheng get the news? Could it be the one who sneaked into the capital?
The corners of Wang Chengen's mouth showed a subtle smile, "It seems that the skill of this former pavilion boss is still the same, if you don't send it, it will be thunderous, but it is ingenious, and it is even said that He Fengsheng came to fire this cannon." But I don't know if Zhu Ping'an thought of these changes. If you know, how to deal with it, this old guy is as difficult to deal with as Yang Sichang, don't drive the tiger at the front door, and enter the wolf at the back door! (To be continued......)
