Just when the news that Yueyang was going to be transferred was circulating around the court, another news came from Shanbei Road, and Yueyang, the general of North Shaanxi Road, started a new round of recruitment, and the number of recruits was expected to be 10,000, and the government and the opposition were shocked when the news came out.

"It's just a kingless law, what is this Yueyang going to do?"

In the signing room of the yamen of the Ministry of War, Chen Xinjia looked at the latest post report sent by the people below, his face became pale, and the hand holding the post report was also trembling, which was all for Yue Yang's anger.

"Recruiting soldiers without a holy decree and an official document from the Ministry of War is a complicity, and this Yue Yang's courage is too great, is he going to rebel?" A foreigner next to him also shouted angrily.

At this time, in the signing room of the Ministry of War, wearing a black gauze hat, a red reunion shirt, a lifelike brocade chicken embroidered with a patch on his chest, and Yang Sichang, who was stepping on soap-colored thick-soled official boots, looked at Chen Xinjia and several officials in front of him expressionlessly.

In ancient times, whether it was the state and county yamen's clerical affairs or the six yamen offices, from the draft to the official release, they had to go through various circulation procedures, and the relevant handling personnel had to sign their names one by one (they can also be replaced by surnames and first names), indicating joint and several liability, and then the director of the yamen drew "line" with a red pen.

Therefore, the role of the signing room is actually the same as the joint office of later generations, and today, Yang Sichang, who was supposed to work in his own separate study, also came to the signing room unusually, because of this sudden report from Shanbei Road.

This report was written by Yue Yang, and it was written that due to the stricter and stricter bandits in this period, and the lack of troops on the North Shanxi Road, coupled with the Jurchens' eyesights, they had to recruit troops again in order to protect themselves, and went to the military department to understand and approve Yunyun.

Originally, this was just a very ordinary post report, but what made everyone in the military department feel not angry was in this post report. Yue Yang even exaggerated the role of bandits tenfold, not to mention it, and even recruited troops without the approval of the Ministry of War. This order to recruit troops has always been the right of the military department, but now he was slapped in the face by a small general, and he played a prelude, isn't he afraid of the emperor's anger at this Yueyang?

In Chen Xinjia's view, Yue Yang's unauthorized recruitment of troops this time was a great rebellion, and he should be severely punished, and it was not an exaggeration to even send Tiqi to arrest him and take him to Jingshi for punishment.

As the second-in-command of the military department, there is naturally no shortage of people who pat the horse below, and as soon as he opened his mouth, someone immediately responded to his call and began to denounce Yue Yang.

"Lord Chen. That Yue Yang is so bold, we should immediately face Chen Shengshang and order him to be dismissed from his post and sent to Beijing to be questioned for the crime. Wang Yahe, a military official of the Ministry of War, also echoed and said.

"Right...... As it should be! ”

"What Lord Chen said is very true!"

A group of people echoed one after another, in the eyes of the people in the Ministry of War, it was a big crime to recruit soldiers without the approval of the Ministry of War, not to mention that this person was still Lord Chen's enemy, how could he do it if he didn't take the opportunity to push it.

After everyone expressed their opinions, they turned their attention to Yang Sichang, who was sitting silently on the seat, but now Yang Sichang was still sitting silent. These people couldn't help but be secretly shocked in their hearts. Hurry up and do a good job.

Chen Xinjia was also secretly shocked, although he had jumped up and down these days, not only instigating the people of the Liudao Affairs Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to fold bullets to impeach Yue Yang, but his own boss never expressed any opinion, and he never commented on Yue Yang in public. At first, I thought that he was not evaluating his identity because of his scruples. After all, it's the number one in charge of the military department, and it's normal that he won't express his opinion, but it seems a little wrong today.

As the crowd went silent. For a moment, the signing room couldn't help but fall into an eerie silence.

After a long time, Yang Sichang opened his eyes, and his eyes, which looked a little cloudy at first glance, flashed with a gleam, and swept around everyone like lightning. Only then did he sneer and said slowly: "What, don't you say it?" Didn't they just say it quite energetically? Why are they all dumb now? Say, go on, I don't think you need to ask the emperor to send Tiqi to arrest people, you can say that you can say that people are dead. ”

"This ......"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, seeing that Lord Yang's posture today is to protect this Yueyang, could it be that his group made the wrong fart just now?

Chen Xinjia looked bad, and asked cautiously on the side: "My lord, the lower officials and others are shallowly knowledgeable, and if there is anything inappropriate, I hope you can correct it." ”

"Shallow in knowledge?" Yang Sichang sneered and sneered: "One of you is a two-rank jinshi, and the worst one is also from the same jinshi. If even you are shallow-minded, then who else in the entire Ming Dynasty has insight, what you say one by one is insightful, according to what the old man has seen, being an emperor is qualified enough! ”

"The lower officials don't dare!"

Everyone was shocked, including Chen Xinjia, everyone stood up in fright and bowed to Yang Sichang, and some even oozed cold sweat from their foreheads. At this time, the official power released by Yang Sichang was more than twice as strong as Chen Xinjia.

Chen Xinjia said in a panic: "My lord, the lower officials are shallow in their studies, and if there is anything wrong with the right person, please correct me more." ”

"Humph!"

Yang Sichang glanced at Chen Xinjia with slanted eyes, but Chen Xinjia was his deputy after all, and he didn't want to lose his face too much, so he waved his hand and said with the unhappiness in his heart: "Everyone except Lord Chen retreats." ”

"The lower officials obey the order!"

Everyone hurriedly retreated like an amnesty, and only Chen Xinjia and Yang Sichang were left in the huge signing room

Yang Sichang raised his head and looked at Chen Xinjia, looked at him for a while, saw that Chen Xinjia was furious in his heart, and asked, "Why do you look at the lower officials." ”

Yang Sichang snorted coldly, squinted his eyes and said: "These days, you have been jumping up and down and agitating the six departments and connecting with the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and you are really thinking of yourself as a cabinet scholar, or do you think you have the ability to take charge of the house for the emperor to rectify my Ming Dynasty?" Elder Wen Ge said yesterday that he is ready to abdicate and make way for Xian, and recommend you to be a cabinet assistant, what do you think? ”

As soon as Yang Sichang's words fell, he only heard a "poof", Chen Xinjia immediately knelt on the ground, his face was defeated, and a cold sweat oozed from his forehead at the same time, and he trembled: "The lower official doesn't dare, the lower official knows that he is wrong!" ”

Facing Chen Xinjia's pale face, Yang Sichang did not have the slightest mercy, he stood up and roared at Chen Xinjia; "Wrong, wrong fart!"

As soon as Chen Xinjia heard this, he was almost not stupid, he and Yang Sichang have known each other for so many years, and it is the first time he has heard Yang Sichang, who has always been deviant, speak like a gangster, which is enough to show how angry Yang Sichang is at the moment.

"Do you know how much trouble you have brought to the emperor and the court because of your ignorance and stupidity? After the early court today, the emperor also specially summoned the official and Wen Fu, Lord Hou, Lord Tang and the elders of the cabinet to ask how to deal with this matter. Wen Tiren also reprimanded the official for this, and asked the old man to take care of the affairs of the military department, he was ridiculing the old man for not managing his subordinates, do you know how big a basket you stabbed the official? ”

"This ...... This...... Xia Guan really doesn't know! ”

Chen Xinjia's heart was beating uneasily, but his face was blank, he really couldn't understand that he was just instigating people to impeach Yue Yang, how could he make it like this?

Seeing that Chen Xinjia was still at a loss, Yang Sichang sighed lightly, he took out a piece of music from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Xinjia. Chen Xinjia took the piece in confusion and looked at it, and was immediately so frightened that he almost jumped up.

"What...... Yueyang intends to stop the supply of seeds from all over Shanxi? Even stopped paying grain taxes to the imperial court, and even stopped providing grain to the Xuanda border pass, how dare he be so bold? ”

Seeing this, Chen Xinjia's heart immediately sank. Only then did he remember that Yueyang was not only the largest salt merchant and the largest grain merchant in Shanxi, but also controlled nearly eighty percent of Shanxi's seed supply.

In the past two years, with the efforts of Yueyang, Shanxi, which should have had a great famine in history, has become the largest grain supplier of the Ming Dynasty like Jiangnan, and just last year, Hunyuan Prefecture and Wulizhai alone provided 700,000 quintals of grain to the Ming Dynasty, accounting for 20% of the entire Ming Dynasty's grain income.

Not only that, with the spread of high-yield seeds, Yueyang also controlled most of the seed markets in Shanxi and nearly half of the two provinces of Hebei and Henan, and those landlords and farmers who had tasted the sweetness of high-yield seeds had been unknowingly tied to their chariots by Yueyang!

What makes Chen Xinjia even more afraid is that today's Wulizhai and Hunyuan Prefecture are still the granaries of the imperial court in the northwest region, once they are lost, the consequences will be unimaginable, thinking of the consequences of Yueyang cutting off the food supply of tens of thousands of soldiers in Xuanda, Chen Xinjia immediately shuddered.

At this time, Chen Xinjia's back had been soaked with cold sweat, and the vermilion official uniform was stuck to his back, but he didn't realize it. The piece in his hand is a secret piece from Jinyiwei to make Luo Yangxing to Chongzhen, and there is no doubt about its authenticity.

Seeing Chen Xinjia's stunned appearance, Yang Sichang withdrew this secret recital and sneered: "How is it?" Now do you want the emperor to escort Yue Yang to Beijing to call the Criminal Department and Dali Temple for deliberation? ”

"Xiaguan...... Xia Guan ......" Chen Xinjia opened his mouth for a long time, but he couldn't say a complete sentence. In the end, he muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Could it be that Yue Yang's private recruitment still makes sense?" (To be continued......)
