Chapter 197: Bright Flowers and Dark Willows
Ministry of Tumut? Li Xin was puzzled, outside the border wall of this town, it is the territory of the Han Department, and the Tumut Department is west of the Han Department, and now it is openly crossing the territory of the Han Department to fight the grass valley in the side wall, isn't this a crossing?
Could it be that the Han Department has been weakened to such an extent? It shouldn't be, it is said that Lin Dan Khan's eldest son Ezhe has been named a prince, and after a few years of recuperation, although his strength has not regained his old view, it should not be a problem to maintain the grassland outside the wall here.
Li Xin, Lu Jiu and others have just arrived, and they don't know much about the customs and customs of this place, and many things may be taken for granted. It was a platoon officer from a local background who spoke his opinion.
"The strength of the Han Sect must be above that of the Tumut Tribe, and the villain speculates that there are only two reasons why they dare to take the risk of coming to the Zhenyu Guards to rob them, one is that they know that the Zhenyu Guards have hoarded a large amount of confiscated goods from illegal merchants. Second, in the winter snow disaster last year, they may have reached the point where they can't open the pot, so they took a risk. ā
Li Xin silently, the platoon official's statement is very reliable, not only the Mongolian tribes from the beginning of winter last year to the present, I am afraid that even the Manchu Tartars are not having a good time. He also forbade supplies to go out of the border wall in Zhenwei and Yang and Wei cards, which made their situation even worse.
"In this way, the north side of the Yanhe River is full of hungry wolves with red eyes, we don't have to take the initiative to attack, just wait for work. Also, the situation in Chaoyang Fort doesn't seem to be bad, let's talk about it. ā
He said this in a hurry, and he said it to the Limu who lived in Chaoyang Fort and was in charge of the liaison in the play. Limu brought a few representatives elected by Chaoyang Castle, but he was the only one who was allowed to enter the account, and it was the first time he had such close contact with the chief soldier, and he was still a little nervous.
"I don't know who mentioned yƬ, but those candidates took the lead in Chaoyang Fort, and they actually blocked the Tartars by relying on the walled gate and temporarily sandwiching the walled wall with logs."
Li Xinming knew that since the goal of the Mongol Tatars was to come for food, the disaster camp was not their main target, so they were lucky enough to escape. Seeing Li Xin nodding, Na Limu seemed to be encouraged, and then reported: "Now the feelings of the people in Chaoyang Fort are very high, according to the plan, tomorrow is the day of the official election of directors, I don't know if it will be carried out as usual?" ā
"How not to do it? Choose, let them choose, rain or shine, the Mongols came in, and the captive army was supported outside. ā
These people must be one of the popular candidates for the board of directors, if he meets them as three commanders, it will inevitably enhance their prestige tomorrow, which is unfair to others, and the result of such an election is not what he wants.
ā¦ā¦
The Ming Dynasty Jingshi, more drums, the courtiers with the stars in the sky through the Donghua Gate into the Forbidden City, located in the Donghua Gate Wenhua Hall is the emperor's daily office to meet the courtiers place, originally from the middle of the Ming Dynasty after the emperor, most of the emperors will not be very frequent to convene the ministers' court meeting. The Ming throne passed to Zhu Youzhen's generation, but the atmosphere changed, almost every day, which made the Beijing officials in the dynasty suffer, and they had to wait outside the Donghua Gate early every day to wear the stars and the moon, waiting for the emperor's summons, whether they were qualified or not qualified to enter the palace.
The ministers are like mirrors in their hearts, I am afraid that the main topic of the day is to set the tone for the matter of Li Xin, the chief soldier of the Three Guards, this matter is already a certainty, there is the prefect of Datong Prefecture and the commander of the Xingdu Prefecture who is responsible for the daily work of the Tongzhi and the impeachment of the same name, even if all the crimes mentioned are false, according to the usual practice, they must be transferred to the official post. Compared with the truth of the facts, how to deal with it is secondary, the key is that Sun Chengzong, who has just resumed as a superintendent in Shanhaiguan, is about to have one wing cut off this time, and I am afraid that there will be subtle changes in the pattern between the DPRK and China.
The ministers stood still, and they didn't see the eunuch roll call for a long time, and they couldn't do the great gift of the monarch for a long time, and someone peeked at the throne under the doubt, but saw that the sky above it was empty.
After a while, Wang Chengen, the eunuch of Bingbi, hurriedly entered the hall through the side door with small steps, and sang in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has occasional discomfort, and it will be there later, and the ministers themselves will discuss it first." ā
As soon as these words came out, Dan Qixia suddenly remembered a lot of discussions. The emperor is clearly hiding, who let no minister be willing to block it for him! After all, Li Xin was appointed by him with a golden mouth and jade teeth, and he didn't say a word about his arguments, so how can the people of the world see it, but how can the emperor distinguish between one courtier and another courtier?
The ministers who were going to watch the excitement were dumbfounded, if the most critical protagonist didn't come today, how could this drama continue?
The protagonist didn't come, and the supporting characters were not willing to mention it, Liu Yuliang made full preparations last night, and at the same time contacted several imperial historians of the Imperial History Terrace, and when the time came, they would work together to not worry about this matter.
Yushitai does not belong to Liu Yuliang's family, but Li Xin is just a small role, and it is profitable to receive Liu's promise, so he is naturally happy to do this favor, as for the emperor, there are reasonable things, no matter how unhappy he is, he can only suffer a dumb loss.
Liu Yuliang first read out Li Xin's charges in public, and then directly said the handling opinions, and the disposal was quite light, just to dismiss the official and remove him from his post and abolish him as a commoner, and he would never be hired.
The chapter was handed over, even if Zhu Youzhen didn't show up now, he would have to write the imperial approval by himself, and he wouldn't be able to run sooner or later, even if he rejected it, there must be a reasonable reason.
Unexpectedly, before Liu Yuliang's words fell, someone in the Wenhua Hall refuted it in public.
"It doesn't make sense for Lord Liu to handle it well."
Liu Yuliang was surprised, and his eyes swept towards the ministers, he wanted to see who could make a different voice at such a time. When I saw the person who spoke clearly, I couldn't help but gasp, it was Liu Lingyu, the right of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this person has a good background, Zhou Yanru was deeply valued when he was the first assistant, and now he is like a fish in water in the court.
At the time, everyone liked to call the Imperial Historical Observatory, Liu Yuliang contacted a few Imperial Historians last night, but he didn't go to find this Liu Lingyu, who knew that this guy actually jumped out.
"I don't know why Lord Liu said this?"
The person who asked the question was also a person from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Li Yuefu, the left deputy of the Imperial Palace, in terms of grade, he was the third grade, two levels higher than Liu Lingyu, but Liu Lingyu was not afraid of this boss at all.
"Have you ever seen a defendant brought to justice without any investigation and evidence based on the plaintiff's words? In the eyes of the following officials, this is simply a big joke in the world! ā
The words were so loud that some people even whispered in agreement.
Li Yuefu sneered: "How can the civil and military affairs of the imperial court be compared to the civil dispute complaint? If you take 10,000 steps back, it is inevitable that Li Xin will make bad friends, how can the important town in the northwest border be handed over to such a favored and domineering person who is not familiar with military affairs? ā
According to the practice of the imperial court, such officials who did not get along with their colleagues were usually transferred out of their posts and reassigned to idle posts.
Liu Lingyu also sneered a few times, and argued with reason.
"Whether it's a pet and a bad colleague, or someone who is jealous of his ability and wants to get rid of him quickly, I don't know!"
"You made it clear, who is jealous of the virtuous and wants to get rid of it quickly?"
Li Yuefu, who was jealous of his big hat, couldn't catch it, so he had to fight with him.
Liu Lingyu stretched out his fingers.
"As far as Liu knows, the three general soldiers trembled at the beginning of their reinstatement, repaired the town guard, restored the defense, and even fought a big battle with the Mongolian Han Department in Yanghewei before the tenth day, beheading more than 700 ......" Speaking of this, Liu Lingyu said word by word: "Among them, there is also the brother of the Tartar chief Lin Dan, who was also beheaded!" It is believed that the messenger who will not report the victory in the day will arrive in the capital. ā
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar!
In the first battle, more than 700 Mongolian Tatars were beheaded, and even the Mongolian Taiji Tuntu was beheaded. This kind of military exploit may not be able to be taken lightly even if it is replaced by many brave generals in the imperial court, and he goes to work alone, without soldiers, what can he do to fight with the Mongolian Tatars?
The first thing the important ministers doubted was the authenticity of Liu Lingyu's words, and then they were shocked, if what Liu Lingyu said was true, then this Li Xin was simply born to fight the material, so it is natural to be arrogant and domineering, people generally agree that those who have extraordinary skills must have an extraordinary temperament, and in the face of the bloody military merits piled up at the first level, the others are not worth mentioning.
Liu Yuliang was also shocked when he heard this, Liu Lingyu was extremely slippery, and he was definitely not a person who talked nonsense, but after all, this person was just a right-handed imperial history of the fourth grade, and if he dared to say this, there must be someone behind him. His gaze swept over the faces of the ministers one by one, trying to find out who was behind the manipulation.
Yang Sichang still lowered his eyebrows as he did yesterday, as if these disputes had nothing to do with him, and Xue Guoguan behind him was surprised, obviously surprised. Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar Fan Fucui and Yang Sichang are very unfriendly with him, this person is also the target of suspicion, I saw that his face was calm and could not see joy and anger, Liu Yuliang carefully distinguished, and concluded that it was not him.
When Liu Yuliang's gaze fell on Zhang Sizhi's face, he saw Zhang Sizhi staring and smiling, looking at the suddenly changing atmosphere in the Wenhua Palace. An unprecedented intuition told him that this person was behind the matter.
Liu Yuliang suddenly only felt a chill in his heart, how could this old guy get involved, could it be that the one surnamed Li bought him out?
Zhang Sizhi is greedy, and everyone in the officialdom of Beijing knows it, and no one knows it. Liu Yuliang secretly speculated that if Li Xin wanted Zhang Sizhi to speak for him, he would need at least 200,000 taels of silver. I couldn't help sneering: Li Xin, Li Xin, no wonder the Jin merchants want to get rid of you quickly, and they can gather hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a few months, but they are really an expert at collecting money. It's just that this lot of silver is very hot, and if you swallow it in one bite, you are not afraid of being burned, choking, and dying!
Thinking of this, Liu Yuliang calmed down, Li Xin's path is not good, but he takes the path of Zhang Sizhi, the old horseman, this guy specializes in fighting tailwind, once the pressure is too great, he will inevitably retreat, and then the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver will be considered a waste.
