"Hundreds of Ding nursing homes were killed and injured?" Rao is Lu Xiangsheng has been in battle for a long time, but he was also shocked by this news.

"Has this news been confirmed?" Yang Tinglin on the side hurriedly asked.

The man in black licked his dry lips and said in his heart: "The news has been verified, and it is said that it has spread throughout the entire city of Beijing now!" Almost all the six section officials and the imperial history of the Imperial Court are ready to fold bullets to impeach Yueyang, and some people have even asked the emperor to immediately order Yueyang to be taken into Beijing to correct the national law! It is estimated that the court meeting will be noisy early tomorrow morning! ”

"It's over...... It's over......" Yang Tinglin only felt that his feet were weak, and he lost his voice: "How can Yue Yang be so confused!" ...... in broad daylight He...... How dare he kill someone? If the imperial court sends Ti Qi to capture Yue Yang tomorrow, what should it do? Now that the enemy is present, if the imperial court cuts off its arm first, it will inevitably be disheartened! ”

"And that's not all!" Lu Xiangsheng's face also became grim, and he stood up with a worried look on his face: "You also saw the Yingzhou army brought by Yue Yang, right?" Whether it is equipment, training or morale in my Ming army, it is also loyal to Yueyang, if tomorrow the imperial court rashly sends Ti cavalry into the camp to arrest Yueyang, what do you say will be the result? ”

The faces of Yang Tinglin and the man in black changed again, and they sounded at the same time the most taboo word of a general in the army...... "mutiny".

Yue Yang's subordinates have tens of thousands of well-trained elites, and Yue Yang is not a good baby, once he initiates a ruthless attack, those cavalry who came to arrest him are probably not enough for his army to stuff their teeth. What's even stricter is that if the imperial court orders the arrest of Yueyang, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among all the generals in the camp, anyway, Yueyang also raised grain at the behest of the wasteland, and now that the people have raised food, the imperial court will settle accounts after the autumn, what is going on? In addition, the current Qing army will arrive in the near future. The court still shouted and shouted at its own people to kill, so that the morale of the army would be dispersed.

Lu Xiangsheng resolutely said: "No, this official must immediately enter the capital to face the saint!" ”

"My lord, no!" Yang Tinglin hurriedly stopped him, "My lord, the gate of the capital division was closed a few days ago, if you can still enter the city with the handsome seal in hand during the day, but if you want to enter the city at night, you have to hold the holy will or the eight-hundred-mile urgent document to enter, although you are the commander of the first army, you can't enter the city at this time!" 10,000 steps back. Even if you can enter the city, you won't be able to enter the palace! ”

"Huh!"

Lu Xiangsheng slapped his right hand on the table hard, making a crisp sound, and his expression was indescribably sad.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's worried expression, Yang Tinglin waved his hand to let the man in black retreat, took two steps forward and walked up to Lu Xiangsheng and comforted him in a low voice: "Governor, the student thinks that you don't have to be so sad, and there are not unreasonable people in the court, such as Wen Ge Lao, Yang Ge Lao and Hou Shangshu and others will dissuade the emperor." Even if they don't dissuade them, the emperor is the lord of the Holy Ming, and he will definitely not make a rash order! ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head, "Boxiang, you don't need to comfort me. Although the saint is the male lord, but his temperament is too impatient, and now that Yueyang has broken into such a catastrophe, it is very likely that the saint will send Tiqi to take Yueyang lock into Beijing in anger. ”

Yang Tinglin pondered for a while, and then his color changed. He said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Governor, since sooner or later the Holy Lord will issue an order to arrest Yue Yang and enter Beijing to ask for guilt, then we might as well take a step forward." Arrange the men in the big tent, send someone to summon them, and ......"

"Shut up!"

Yang Tinglin's words were not finished, but he was interrupted by Lu Xiangsheng's loud shout, only to see Lu Xiangsheng shouting at him with an angry face: "Boxiang, this is a shame for you, although Yueyang's move to Beijing to raise grain is a bit reckless, but after all, he is in the form of the emperor's will, although he killed some domestic slaves, but the reason is also for the tens of thousands of troops outside the city, if the official takes Yueyang, how do you let the official face the tens of thousands of soldiers in the army, or do you want the official to become an ungrateful villain?" ”

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's sudden anger, Yang Tinglin was also startled, and quickly admitted his mistake on the ground: "The governor forgives the sin, it was the student who was confused for a while, so he said these nonsense words, and the adults punished him!" ”

Seeing Yang Tinglin admit his mistake on the ground, Lu Xiangsheng lowered his anger slightly, lowered his voice and shouted: "Boxiang, you are confused, you can just say what you said here in this official, if it spreads outside, I am afraid that the Ming army will no longer be able to tolerate you in the future!" ”

"Yes, Xie Duchen reminds that the students are unforgettable!" Yang Tinglin also broke out in a cold sweat at this time, although the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is not good, but the army has its own rules in the army. But the most hated thing about being a soldier is a person who stabs a knife in the back, if someone violates military regulations or loses a battle, he is punished by the commander or even beheaded, after all, military law is ruthless. But once someone poisons his robe behind his back, then this person will become the common enemy of all soldiers, everyone is doing the work of pinning their heads to their trouser belts and playing with people, and they will be stabbed by their colleagues after doing good things for everyone, which no one can stand it!

Yang Tinglin suddenly thought that if his words just now were spread outside, I am afraid that he would no longer be able to gain a foothold in the army. Thinking of this, Yang Tinglin had even more cold sweat on his head.

Seeing Yang Tinglin's frightened cold sweat, Lu Xiangsheng sighed lightly and pulled him up, helped him send the dust on his clothes, and said earnestly: "Boxiang, just now this came out of your mouth and into my ears, fortunately, no third person heard it, but you will never say such things again in the future, understand?" ”

"Yes, Governor Xie!" Yang Tinglin hurriedly bowed down and replied.

"Alas......" Lu Xiangsheng sighed, "Forget it, the one who should come is always coming, let's wait and see......"

The night slowly faded, and the sky gradually showed the dawn, and a new day began.

After washing, Yue Yang walked out of his tent, looked at the newborn in the sky, he showed a smile, stretched a few lazy waists, and made a few book fair movements, and the bones on his body made a slight crisp sound.

"Good morning, adult!" A voice thought about it.

Yue Yang looked back, and then showed a smile, he said with a smile: "Chen Zanhua, why is it so early, is there something wrong?" ”

The person who came was Chen Zhi, who was in charge of the logistics in the army, and he said with a happy face: "My lord, I am very happy, last night the lower official took someone to count the night." Finally, the count of the silver taels and grain brought back to the camp was completed, and this time we obtained a total of 1,370,000 taels of silver and more than 18,000 stones of grain, and the food alone is enough for our army to eat for five or six months! ”

As a praise painting in charge of logistics in the army, Chen Zhi understands the importance of grain and grass to the army, in this era of no developed transportation, it is not easy to maintain the materials and grain and grass needed by an army of tens of thousands, and the effort to be made during the period is too much. Now Yue Yang has brought back so much food at once, which means that from now on, he will no longer have to worry about the food problem.

Looking at Chen Zhi's happy appearance, Yue Yang smiled. patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be too happy, these grains are okay, but the silver is not all ours!" ”

When Chen Zhi heard this, he asked a little strangely: "Why?" Didn't we already give more than one million taels to Governor Lu yesterday, isn't this amount of silver enough enough for Governor Lu to use? ”

Yue Yang smiled and sighed slightly: "Yesterday, this official made such a big fuss in the capital, if you don't break some money to eliminate the disaster, I'm afraid there will be a steady stream of troubles in the future!" ”

"Do you want to send someone into the city to take care of it?" Chen Zhi immediately guessed Yue Yang's thoughts.

Yue Yang looked to the south. The city wall in the distance was faintly visible, and he said leisurely: "It is necessary to dot the dots, but this matter is too big, and it is useless to dot the ordinary people." So if we want to dot, we have to hit the biggest person! ”

"The biggest guy!" Chen Zhi looked at Yue Yang with some confusion.

Seeing Chen Zhi's puzzled look, Yue Yang smiled self-deprecatingly, and then shook his head, "Forget it." I haven't come that far now, anyway, this thing has just begun, let's ride a donkey and read the record book and see! ”

Don't mention Chen Zhi who looked puzzled and then went out to do things. At this time, the Ming Dynasty Hall ushered in a daily court meeting.

Emperor Chongzhen was still sitting on his dragon chair, there were still ministers who couldn't see the end at a glance in the Jinluan Palace, and Wen Tiren and several pavilion elders were still standing at the front of the hundred officials. At first glance, today's Jinluan Hall is no different from the past, but in fact, if you take a closer look, you will know that Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang, who are at the front, are looking at the dragon case in front of Chongzhen from time to time.

Chongzhen looked at the officials and imperial historians kneeling below with an expressionless face, and said lightly: "Ministers, do you all mean the same thing?" ”

The leader raised his head, revealing a thin face, this person was the Zuodu Yushi Tang Shiji, only to see him said proudly: "Exactly!" The ministers implored His Majesty to immediately send Tiqi to the camp outside the city, take Yueyang Suo into Beijing, and behead him at the entrance of the vegetable market after verifying that he was beheaded, so as to comfort the souls of those innocent people who were killed by him yesterday! ”

After Tang Shiji finished speaking, more than 100 imperial historians bowed down in unison and said in unison: "The ministers implore Your Majesty to immediately issue an order to take Yueyang Lock into Beijing to punish the crime!" ”

In the face of the many passionate officials and imperial histories, Chongzhen still did not speak, but slowly closed his eyes and did not close his mouth.

To say that at this time the most understanding of Chongzhen's difficulties is a few pavilion elders, through the dynasties, the Ming Dynasty's officials are the most difficult and troublesome group of people, someone once used a very vivid word to describe this group of people, the word is called "mad dog".

Yes, it is a mad dog, in the Ming Dynasty, even the most powerful people are not willing to offend such a group of people innocently. As long as the person they are targeting, they will pounce on it regardless of it, and they will never stop without tearing their opponent to pieces. For more than 200 years since the opening of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many influential figures, such as: Zhang Juzheng, Yan Song, Wang Zhen, Wei Zhongxian, these people in their respective years belong to the power of the government and the opposition, it is not an exaggeration to say that these stomping the Ming Dynasty will shake three times, but these people are still attacked by these officials when they are in the limelight. Although the purpose of these officials to attack them is different, the way of attack is the same, that is, like a toad, they will not let go after biting.

For the sake of the so-called clear name, these speech officials do everything they can, because Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, gave them a privilege, that is, they can hear about things, as long as they are not used to it, they can take care of it, and even if they say something wrong, they do not have to be responsible, which further fuels the arrogance of these speech officials. They kept giving the emperor a break, from national affairs to trivial matters, and they even scolded the emperor. It would be better if the emperor was scolded and was in a hurry to use the court staff to beat their butts, and for them, if they had not been spanked by the emperor, you would be embarrassed to say hello when you went out.

Someone in later generations once sighed like this, if the Ming army can also have these crazy momentum that the officials do not achieve their goals, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which has a population of less than one million, does not want to bully the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty should laugh if he does not bully him.

And today, all of them trembled with excitement, because yesterday a man had brought them an excellent subject to the boring nature of their idleness, and this guy dared to forcibly break into the homes of dozens of wealthy families in the inner city in broad daylight, and not only robbed them of their silver, but also moved their granaries. The worst thing is that he even killed and injured more than 100 family members, which can be called the worst criminal case in the Ming Dynasty in the past 100 years.

The officials were like sharks smelling blood, and hurriedly picked up the lights and fought night to write excerpts, and at dawn, one after another the impeachment of Yue Yang was like snowflakes piled up with Chongzhen's dragon case.

Looking at the neat rows of kneeling figures below and Chongzhen who was forced to speak, Wen Tiren, who was the head of the cabinet, had to stand up and shouted: "Shut up, as an official of the imperial court, you should know your responsibilities as a courtier, and your majesty and the old man have not yet negotiated a clear charter for this matter." You are here to be aggressive, forcing the Holy Decree to deal with it, do you still have a trace of the way to be a minister in your heart? ”

At this time, Tang Shiji raised his head and said loudly, "Wen Shoufu." Xia Guan felt that this matter was already very clear, thinking that Yue Yang led his troops into the city and looted property in the city, which was even more outrageous because he also ordered to kill so many innocent people. More than 100 lives. He also got his hands on it, if the court didn't deal with such a vicious person immediately, where would the law of the country be? What is the principle of heaven? Where is the majesty of the imperial court? But it's been a year. Lord Shoufu and several pavilion elders have not made a decision for a long time, does Wen Shoufu want to protect Yueyang? ”

"You...... Darn! Wen Tiren flicked his sleeves angrily, these officials originally relied on this to eat, and he was really inferior to these people when he picked up his mouth.

Although Yang Sichang was at odds with Wen Tiren, he had to stand up after seeing Wen Tiren deflated, and said to Tang Shiji in a deep voice: "Yesterday's incident, Yue Yang did too much, but Yue Yang's move was also to enter Beijing to raise food at the emperor's behest, not for his own selfish interests, how could the imperial court behead a general lightly."

And at the moment the enemy is present. The Manchu Iron Cavalry was about to be killed in the capital, and if the imperial court rashly disposed of a general with a heavy army, what if it caused a mutiny among the troops outside the city? Who will defend Gyeonggi and who will defend the emperor? Or do you, Lord Tang, plan to take these officials and imperial historians behind him to wear armor and carry swords out of the city to kill the enemy? ”

When he said the last sentence, Yang Sichang's tone carried an indescribable mockery. Yang Sichang, as the secretary of the Ministry of War and the second assistant of the cabinet, naturally has a group of younger brothers, and now the boss has started scolding, as a junior brother, of course he has to cheer, and many people laughed out loud at the moment.

Tang Shiji, who heard the laughter, trembled with anger, and pointed at Yang Sichang tremblingly and scolded: "Lord Yang, now that we are discussing how to deal with Yueyang's matter, don't you want to turn the topic wrong!" ”

"It's all the same!" Yang Sichang said categorically: "The Tartars invaded my border pass, killed my people, took my property, and now the most important thing for the imperial court is to formulate a strategy to retreat from the enemy and drive the Tartars out of the pass. Or is it in the eyes of your Lord Tang, the matter of Yueyang is more important than the safety of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Yang Sichang's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and Tang Shiji was speechless. After all, what people say makes sense, no matter how important Yueyang's affairs are, is it more important than the comfort of the Ming Dynasty?

Looking at the speechless appearance of Tang Shiji and the other officials, Chongzhen's whole person was as happy as eating ice cubes in the sky. Or Yang Sichang is capable, these officials who can only play tricks are really hateful, and they can't do the right thing, but they are all good at picking bones in the eggs, and now someone can finally cure them, it's really happy!

However, although Chongzhen was very happy in his heart, he couldn't express it on the surface, he said lightly: "Tang Aiqing, I have my own opinions on the matter of Yueyang, and now the Qing soldiers are pressing the border." As courtiers, you should consider how to settle the hundreds of thousands of people who poured into the city, and how to retreat from the enemy, and let the rest go first! ”

Tang Shiji's face was flushed by Chongzhen's words, and the subtext of Chongzhen's words was: You people don't always take the court's money and don't do business, and bother me with those trivial things every day.

Just when Tang Shiji was a little unable to get off the stage, a Han general came outside the hall, and I saw this Han general hurriedly walked to Chongzhen and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the spies outside the city have come to report that the vanguard of the Qing soldiers has arrived near Gyeonggi, and Lu Xiangsheng, who is stationed in Liangxiang, has already fought with the Qing soldiers!"
