Chapter 115: The Change of Self (12)
The black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the armor light opened to the sun.
On the 16th, the war had not yet arrived, but the capital was already surging with undercurrents, and there was a tense atmosphere everywhere. The security is tight, there are cannons listed on the city wall, and there are more Beijing troops to guard, and the sentry and patrol squads are combined. However, no matter from which point of view, the Ming army guarding the capital had a strange feeling, which was very incommensurate with the firearms in their hands or the cannons in front of them, and they seemed out of place, and there was a sense of disobedience.
In the imperial city, in the Fengtian Palace, the military generals of Wenchen stood on both sides, and Emperor Chongzhen lived in the center, sitting there, with a sad face, and there was no such calm and calm temperament of the emperor, panic and not at ease.
At this time, a person walked out of the ranks of the imperial history, stood in the center, bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, held a fold in both hands, and then said loudly: "Emperor Qi, Weichen wants to participate in the general army of Datong Mangui." ”
After speaking, the official still maintained a bowed posture, holding his hands at the level of his head, respectful at the same time, but also with a stubborn meaning of admonition.
At this moment, there was silence in the Fengtian Temple, and everyone was shocked by this official's words! On this occasion, the capital is facing the threat of the Houjin Army, and this imperial historian actually impeached a general soldier, and his guts are too fat, right~?
Emperor Chongzhen's expression is not good-looking, and he agrees with most people's thoughts, now is the time to rely on these general soldiers. If they are convicted, arrested and imprisoned, who will guard the capital? Who will defend against the army of Houjin?
Although he thought so in his heart, Man Gui did have a problem, and he had the heart to protect Man Gui, but he couldn't make it too obvious. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen still had to make a show, motioned for a eunuch to go up and take the fold, and said in his mouth: "Jin Sheng Jin Yushi, what trouble did Man Gui cause that you have to join him at this time?" ”
The hints and warnings loomed, containing Emperor Chongzhen's dissatisfaction, and the determination of Man Gui was just a troublemaker. However, Jin Sheng still stubbornly bowed there as if he didn't understand, waiting for the emperor to accept his performance.
Feeling that the fold in his hand was taken over, Jin Sheng straightened up, and at the same time showed a little anger on his face, and replied with righteous indignation: "Your Majesty, it is not good for Man Gui to restrain his subordinates, causing his soldiers to harass the people. Moreover, Man Gui's troops often bullied Shen Fu's subordinates. Just last night, his subordinates actually shot arrows at the battalion of Deputy General Shen, causing deaths, and Man Gui still didn't deal with the troublesome soldiers. ”
There was a tremor in the hall, and everyone had heard of Man Gui's subordinates, especially those who had surrendered. It's just some unrestrained hooligans, lawlessness, and oppressing the people is a common thing.
However, everyone didn't expect that Man Gui connived at his subordinates to such an extent and actually killed people. Moreover, the other party is also a soldier, and they will protect the safety of the Beijing division together. Of course, everyone knows the reason, why are Man Gui's subordinates so bold to target the team of Shen Fu's deputy commander-in-chief?
It's nothing more than that Man Gui doesn't look down on this deputy chief soldier under him, and thinks that Shen Fu was born in the market, and he is a complete magic stick, without any military merits at all. It was all based on the emperor's words that he rose to prominence and directly became the deputy commander-in-chief.
Emperor Chongzhen's heart was also uncomfortable, and he was full of opinions about Man Gui's arrogance. However, the situation is stronger than people, even he, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is no exception! Even if he is a dwarf militarily, Emperor Chongzhen also knows that the big war is imminent, and the enemy will come to the city in the next two days, and now is not the time to change generals and dispose of Mangui.
However, seeing Jin Sheng's insistent look, Chongzhen also understood that if there was no explanation, the other party's old old man would definitely stand there and not leave. Otherwise, resign directly and leave, this Jin Yushi is not undone.
Under the watchful eyes of the ministers, Chongzhen's brain began to run rapidly, trying to find a reason to wipe Man Gui's ass.
In just a moment, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and an idea came to mind. But he still pretended to be calm, held the shelf, and said slowly: "Jin Yushi, you also know that the army of Hou Jin may come to the city at any time and hit the capital. Therefore, Man Gui may be engaged in a kind of rehearsal, so as to raise the vigilance of Deputy General Shen. ”
As soon as the words came out, Emperor Chongzhen realized that this reason was too far-fetched, but he also had to bite the bullet and continue: "I think you also know that those soldiers under Deputy General Shen are all temporarily recruited from the market, and they have not undergone training, let alone actual combat experience. Therefore, the reason why Man Gui did this is also because of his painstaking efforts. ”
"It's eccentric, it's too eccentric, there is no justice at all, this is abandoning the laws of the Ming Dynasty and ignoring it."
This is the voice of every minister in the hall, and it is also something that everyone knows, and the emperor is like this. If he can win a big victory and promise what he promises, Emperor Chongzhen will entrust him with important tasks, ignoring the laws of the country, completely breaking the country's selection standards, and the appointment, dismissal and promotion of officials often fluctuate greatly, and there are no laws and standards at all.
Unexpectedly, Jin Sheng, who was stubborn in the past, actually gave in, and did not continue to ask aggressively, as if he also knew that the current situation was not good, so he could only reply helplessly: "Yes, the emperor, Weichen will go to verify it again, so as not to make the general soldier of Man Guiman suspicious." ”
The situation reversed, as soon as Jin Sheng's voice fell, the first minister Han Yi also stood up, and said loudly: "Emperor Qiqi, it is the autumn of eternity, and the enemy army is about to hit the capital, and the focus of the imperial court now should be to resist the Houjin barbarians, how to drive them out of the pass?" If the picket generals now have minor deficiencies, it will only disturb the morale of the army and will not be conducive to the next battle. ”
Changing the topic, he deducted another big hat, Jin Sheng, who had returned to the ranks of the imperial history, didn't care, and Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand even more, and said with a headache: "Han Shoufu, the matter is not as serious as you said, Jin Yushi is just reporting the truth." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall had different ideas, and their minds began to liven up, and Wang Zaijin was even more so, his eyes lit up, knowing that Chongzhen's attitude was more inclined to Jin Sheng, but he was forced by the situation.
Therefore, after figuring this out, Wang Zaijin immediately stood up and said loudly: "Emperor Qiqi, two days ago, I don't know what happened, Huang Taiji actually broke through the Jizhou defense line, crossed through, and went straight to Tongzhou, and soon the troops will come to the city of Beijing." ”
"Weichen is really puzzled, the Houjin army attacked Tongzhou in the north of Jizhou, why did Yuan Inspector go out of the south gate of Jizhou and go straight to Hexi. It's really puzzling, Guan Ning Iron Cavalry does not pursue the enemy army, but runs to other places. ”
In an instant, the Fengtian Hall became tense again, the atmosphere was stagnant, and everyone's hearts were shocked, eye medicine, this is definitely eye medicine, even if Wang Zaijin can't cross Yuan Chonghuan, he is also planting a bane, leaving a target for attacking Yuan Chonghuan in the future.
Han Yi, who had just been a little relaxed, suddenly became anxious, and his heart was raised to his throat, and he couldn't help but argue: "Lord Wang, you are really mistaken, Huang Taiji did not break through Jizhou, but sneaked over, and Inspector Yuan only got the news afterwards. As for why he went to Hexiwu, there must be a reason why he had to go. ”
"Oh..."Wang Zaijin stretched his voice, and then said pointedly: "It seems that the news that our military department got is not only late, but also has a big deviation, compared to the relationship between Lord Shoufu and Inspector Yuan, I got the first-hand news, and I still believe it so much." ”
At this moment, although many officials lowered their heads and did not look at Han Yi, there was no surprise, and all the attention was on him. At the same time, he was shocked by Wang Zaijin's attack power, and in a few words, he not only gave Yuan Chonghuan eye medicine in front of the emperor, but also pushed the first Fu Han Yi to the cusp, causing the emperor's suspicion, and Emperor Chongzhen's silence is a good explanation.
Han Yi's heart was tormented, like an ant on a charcoal brazier, anxious. For Wang Zaijin's words, he paid more attention to it more profoundly, and understood the sharpness of the attack power more, the relationship between the cabinet head and the border generals is irreversible, and there are a lot of contacts, not to mention the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, even the ministers in the hall can't help but reverie!
However, the fact is that Han Yi doesn't know much more than others, and as for the words that he refuted for Yuan Chonghuan, they were completely subconsciously forced to be anxious.
For a while, Han Yi had some complaints about Yuan Chonghuan, and during this period of time, he always did some incomprehensible things, which could easily arouse the suspicion of the king. However, he didn't talk to himself before and after, which made him embarrassed at this moment. With a red mouth and white teeth, and you don't know how to argue?
Time stood still, and no one stood up to speak for Han Yi. is not only afraid of the viciousness of Wang Zaijin and others, stabbing a knife in the back, but also afraid of being involved in the whirlpool of party disputes, and is also suspicious of Chongzhen.
At this moment, to everyone's surprise, Chongzhen, who had been silent and quietly watching Wang Zaijin and Han Yi, suddenly spoke: "Okay, okay, don't doubt this, doubt that." Now is not the time for infighting, but we should think about the strategy of retreating from the enemy, how to reverse the crisis of the Jingshi? ”
Wang Zaijin was very clever and reacted very quickly, and did not continue to seize Yuan Chonghuan to go south to Hexi, but said: "Your Majesty, the current defense force of the capital is still very weak, and Weichen suggested that Yuan Chonghuan be recalled as soon as possible to protect the safety of the Beijing division and resist the attack of the Houjin army." ”
