Chapter 411: Cabinet Taiji
Jiajing Tianzi thought again, as for saying that the amount of stolen money is not clear, it is correct that the amount is not clear. This recital was written by Hai Rui, he is a member of the household department, if the number is found out, then the money can only go into the treasury, but it cannot be returned to the treasury, as for whether it can be evenly distributed from the household department to the royal treasury? Joke! If the household department is willing to take half of it, it must be regarded as the awakening of the collective conscience.
But this one is too numerous to do. Yan Hong looks at the style, but he is not the kind of Qingliu Wenchen. The people of Yan Ge's hometown should be smart. As long as Yan Hong and Zhang Cheng are not stupid, they will know that there are hands and feet to do here, and how to conceal the number and how to hide the number of technical problems will naturally be solved by them. All the emperor had to do was wait for a large amount of treasure to roll into the inner treasury to fill the shortfall
Of course, all this is based on the premise that Jinan will not fall. Otherwise, if even Jinan is lost and several Qincha are finished, this money will naturally not be thought of.
In addition, Yan Hong asked the Son of Heaven for reinforcements, and in this regard, the emperor thought that he really did not see the wrong person, Yan Hong deserved to be Yan Weizhong's grandson, and he did not transfer troops arrogantly without authorization, but directly asked for orders, which also made him have a good impression of Yan Hong. I secretly calculated in my heart, as long as this happens, he can get me 300,000, no, even if it is 200,000 silver, I will promote him to a fourth-grade official position, and then give him some other benefits.
Therefore, after seeing the twist, the emperor immediately wrote a decree in the middle of the Dao, handed it over to Huang Jin, and ordered him to send someone to Changping, pass the decree to the governor of Jiliao, and order him to transfer troops to relieve the south.
As for why this holy decree does not go through the cabinet procedure, it is still this money to make trouble. As soon as I walked the cabinet, this money thing. There is another momentum to target. When the time comes, the cabinet will chase after the money. It's also a big trouble.
I didn't think that the old governor Wang Chen actually didn't give the emperor face, and directly played the trick of not obeying the order, and he also had a heartbeat, saying that the north was in an emergency, and he couldn't divide his troops to the east! This was unexpectedly out of the emperor's great immortal, and it also made the Son of Heaven directly out of anger. The emperor was angry, and the consequences were serious! His own decree was rejected. Wang Chen actually dared to use the urgent situation and inability to divide troops as an excuse to refuse to send troops to Jinan, should he lead it? And that's not even about organizational procedures?
Moreover, Lu Bing reported that during this time, the places in Beizhili and Shandong were also quite peaceful, and there were more than a dozen White Lotus riots. Fortunately, all the disaster forces went to Jinan, and most of the people left behind could not leave, what combat effectiveness can such a person have? And relying on the White Lotus fanatics alone is indeed useless. Secondly. It was Yan Hong who ordered people from all over the country to guard the city in advance and strengthen precautions. Therefore, the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect was extinguished immediately, even if it was powerful, it could not cause damage to the city, and it did not cause much loss. But in this way, those White Lotus Sectists who could not succeed locally moved to Jinan one after another, and the pressure on Yan Hong's side was even greater.
Thinking that a young loyal minister (Yan Hong) was hanging by a thread, and a considerable amount of wealth (the White Lotus treasure had been replenished to one million taels by Emperor Jiajing's brain) was about to leave him, His Majesty the Emperor could no longer care about any cultivation and alchemy. He summoned the three auxiliary ministers of the court overnight to discuss matters in Yongshou Palace.
These three ministers are well-informed, and their hands and eyes are all over the sky, how do they not know about Shandong? Knowing that something big happened in Jinan, the White Lotus Sect and bandits colluded with the Mongols to besiege the city, and their grandchildren were in danger, the old lady Ouyang didn't know how many tears she shed. Bao Chan also prays to God and worships Buddha every day to bless his son well. Only the late mother didn't hum or ha, and she didn't go to worship the gods, but she prepared a white silk for her life, and as long as she heard the news that the princess was loyal to the country, she hanged herself and died of martyrdom.
In the strict gate, the clouds of sorrow were shrouded, and only the second son, Yan Hu, gloated and was quite proud. Unexpectedly, the second young master was really a little too much, and somehow he was heard by the Ouyang family that he was elated, so the old lady was so angry that Yan Hu was fined three months of monthly money, not to mention, and was also grounded at home and forbidden to go out.
When Yan Shifan heard the eunuch's edict and let his father enter the palace to face the saint, he looked strange. Ever since he learned that Liu Cai had been caught, he looked uneasy. Now, when Yan Song was about to enter the palace, Xiao Ge Lao suggested to his father: "If Banzai asks whether he wants to send troops to help Nan, his father can't agree to it. My Yan family is now authoritative, if the Son of Heaven thinks it is a family affair and wants to interfere with the deployment of the border army, then we can't help but suspect that we are not subservient. At this time, the border army should also guard the line of defense and prevent the Tartars from breaking through the pass as the first, so as to avoid the disaster of the second Gengxu. As for the rescue troops in Jinan, the border generals can be discussed with the court officials, as a perfect strategy. ”
Yan Song was also concerned about his grandson's safety at this time, and he was in a mess. Although what Yan Shifan said was reasonable, he always felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help asking: "Donglou, what you said is of course high-sounding, but if the Son of Heaven really follows my wishes, and finally does not send rescuers, so that Jinan is lost, what should Hong'er do?" ”
Yan Shifan said: "Daddy, don't worry, Xu Jie's old man must not be a wood carving clay sculpture, and the third assistant Lu Tai is even more well-behaved, they will not let go of this opportunity to buy a good piece from our family." If you send troops to save people, Xu Jie and Lu Tai will naturally say, but we don't need to open this mouth. Besides, the city of Jinan is thick and thick, and there are guards and horses plus a standard camp, so how can it not be broken by one or two thousand Tartars and tens of thousands of chaotic people. ”
In the Yongshou Palace, the Emperor of Jiajing waited until the three ministers arrived, and then asked: "Do you know about Jinan?" Wang Chen dared to openly resist the order and not send troops to rescue Jinan, which is really hateful. How should he discuss the crime, and how to deal with the affairs of Jinan, you must draw up a charter today. ”
Yan Song, as the first assistant, was the first to speak. According to his heart, he naturally hoped to send troops to save people quickly, but, thinking of his son's suggestion, he said: "Long live Qijuan, according to the old minister, Wang Min should do what he should do, although the matter of resisting the decree is quite inappropriate, but his suggestion is also from the public heart. Now that Hu Lu is powerful, the border pass is urgent, and if the defense line is really broken by the Tartar soldiers, the harm will be great. As for my grandson Yan Hong, he is the foundation of a man and a minister. Therefore, Wang Chen took care of Jiliao's affairs first, and there was no loss in the big festival. As for whether to send troops to Shandong, this matter can be discussed with Xu and Lu. ”
Jiajing didn't expect that Yan Song, who has always been famous for protecting calves, suddenly went crazy today and said such inconsequential words? Originally, this temper was to save his Yan family and raise his grandson, and he also expected him to talk about the benefits of relieving Nan first, and then take advantage of the situation to clean up Wang Chen. I didn't expect this old thing to sing the opposite tune to himself, what kind of name is this? Could it be that the tacit understanding between monarchs and ministers for many years no longer exists? When everyone worked together to clean up Xia Yan back then, how seamless the cooperation was, why can't I find it now? Uncle, it's been a long time since I've had a hot face and a cold ass.
But after all, Yan Song kept saying that he was considering the problem from the perspective of the Ming court, and you couldn't scold him for this. At that moment, Jiajing had to turn his head and ask Xu Jie, "Xu Qing, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Yan Song also stared at Xu Jie, why wasn't he worried about his grandson's safety? As for Liu Cai, that righteous son has no grace to support Sun Jin after all, so if he wants to die, he will die. Although Xu Zisheng has long been in the position of the second largest group in the imperial court, and last year he also took advantage of the Andingmen murder case to bring Zhou Yan's faction under his wings, but he has been quite polite to my Yan Mansion recently. Let's see if he's interested today. If you say that Jinan should be saved, it will not be in vain for us to deal with the same cabinet for so many years.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jie said: "Long live, the minister thought that what Yuan Fu said was very true." Now the military situation at the border is urgent, the various departments of Kuten Khan are frequently transferred, and the various dun posts in Jiliao have three police officers a day. As for the difficulty of Jinan, of course, it must be saved, but I think that Jinan still has nearly 10,000 guards and Fubiao battalions, and the soldiers of Shandong are known as 100,000, and Yan Hong is a young minister, Jinan will be fine for a while. Therefore, what measures should be taken to deal with it now, it should be discussed by the border generals and invited to the ministers of the imperial court. The words of Yuan Fu are beautiful. The old minister seconded the proposal. ”
His words were clearly praising Yan Song and praising Yan Hong, but he was secretly sharpening his knife in his heart. Yan Weizhong, if you have to pretend to be generous in front of the Son of Heaven, I don't have to scold you for you. Since you don't pity your favored grandson, why should I come forward? Everyone ended up playing dumb.
Lu Tai's original intention was to ask the Heavenly Family to send troops to Jinan to save Yan Hong, and he could be regarded as continuing to give Yan Ge old face. But I didn't expect that the wind direction was strange today, Yan Song and Xu Jie had ambiguous attitudes, and proposed to protect Jiliao first and then Jinan. This is true in the general direction, but in this way, isn't it equivalent to taking Yan Hong as an outcast? It's just that then again, shouldn't this Yan Hong be an abandonment and have a woolen relationship with himself? At that moment, he also echoed: "Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge are worthy of being the pillars of the imperial court, and what they have seen is very clear. The old minister seconded the proposal. ”
Jiajing Tianzi's face turned pale with anger at this time, and he hated himself for not knowing how to use magic powers, otherwise he would have made a few thunderbolts and split these three ministers one by one, so that they would be sober and sober. Do you understand what I mean? If I support Old Man Wang, what kind of meeting will I ask you to hold and discuss?
He coughed at the moment and said, "Weizhong, Yan Hong is your grandson, you have to think about him." The situation in Jinan is tight, if the rescue is not sent for a long time, in case Jinan is lost, under the nest, how can there be eggs? As the first assistant, you must be cautious in everything you say and do, and you must think more before you speak and do things, and then make a decision. ”
Yan Song is also an old subordinate who has followed Jiajing for decades, and the emperor said this, how could he not understand? It's just that he habitually believes in his son Yan Shifan, and it is difficult to change this habit for a while. At this time, when he heard the emperor say this, he was obviously dissatisfied with his attitude, could it be that Donglou had misexpected the holy will this time?
Since the power of heaven is unpredictable, the Yan family has come to this day, all by figuring out the holy will, if you lose the holy family, then you will lose everything, for a while, Yan Song only felt cold through the body, peeked over, only to see the emperor frowning slightly, this is clearly a sign that someone is going to be unlucky. There are only a few people in this room, could it be that he is the unlucky ghost? (To be continued......)
