Chapter 126: Keeping the Clouds Open and Seeing the Moon?
readx;
Wang Youzhi did not fall into the hands of Li Liushou in the end, when he blew up the last cannon on the wall with excess gunpowder, he did not go to the distance to dodge, but stroked his beloved artillery and blew it into pieces with it!
Wang Youzhi's personal captain felt his loyalty, and strapped an explosive bag to detonate the gunpowder magazine in Tongtian Pass, so far, Li Shouzhi's princes' coalition army had just arrived and had not yet covered the hot hundreds of artillery pieces and a large amount of high-explosive gunpowder disappeared!
After learning the news, Li Shouzhi, who had just been overjoyed and could not accept the result, turned his back on him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And the other governors were also in a mess, but fortunately, at this time, Xuanli stepped forward, and after calming everyone down, he personally helped up Ma Chen, who knelt on the ground after learning the news, trembling and not daring to move, comforted him softly, saying that he still believed that he really abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, so he appeased him.
Ma Chen knew that Wang Youzhi and Zhao Weijin had a deep friendship, and if Wang Youzhi pretended to surrender, then Zhao Weijin's sincerity in surrendering would be very questionable.
Furious in his heart, he asked Shang Xuanli to immediately raise a large army to attack the Jingshi and not wait for dawn.
Shang Xuanli really trusted Ma Chen, and seeing that he was so eager to "make meritorious contributions", he naturally wouldn't stop him, and directly approved his request to send troops.
Ma Chen did not delay, after leaving the Chinese military tent where the venue was located, he returned to Tongtian Pass, lit up thousands of men and horses under his command overnight, and pounced on the Beijing division lightly!
……
Ai Ai learned the news of Ma Chen's betrayal two days later, and Zhao Weijin did not hesitate to run wild for two and a half days before returning to Jingshi and telling her the news.
After learning that Ma Chen not only rebelled, but even coveted her, even Ai Ai, who was a gentle and introverted person, almost ran to kill Ma Chen's entire family left in Jingshi.
Fortunately, Dongfang Qinxin was by her side these days, and persuaded her with good words, which saved a precious time.
Dongfang Qinxin's words are very reasonable, at this time Ma Chen must have been on the way to the Beijing Division, the time is urgent, it is better to let the technical workers retreat first, if these people fall into the hands of Ma Chen, I can't say, Buchen's efforts in the past few years will really be all in vain!
After regaining his composure, Ai Ai immediately took a small army and escorted the workers and their families to the army.
Of course, Blacksmith Li, Director Lu, and all the unsubordinate teams and harems are all among them, and Ai Ai will not leave any of them to Ma Chen and Li Shouzhi!
……
At noon that day, just after noon, Yun Chongming was enjoying the flowers in the garden of the Forbidden City, and Zhao Daquan, the chief attendant, ran and jumped and hurriedly ran into the garden! As he ran, he shouted at the throat of the male duck: "Your Majesty, great joy!" Great joy, Your Majesty! ”
"Oh? What a happy event? ”
Yun Chongming asked with a light smile, the face of His Majesty the Emperor has long disappeared at this time, the frustration and panic when Buchen just seized power, and even the resentment of being cuckolded is gone, at this time, except for a little more gray hair, the whole person is much richer than before, and now it looks like a rich old man enjoying his old age.
I have to admire, Yun Chongming's environmental adaptability is really strong, as long as he can save his life and continue to live, he can always find things to support his survival......
"Xiao thief, Xiao thief...... Xiao thief is defeated, your majesty! Zhao Daquan said breathlessly.
"What?!" Yun Chongming looked at Zhao Daquan blankly, and he didn't know if he didn't hear clearly or couldn't believe it.
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Daquan repeated again: "The Xiao thief suffered from the enemy on his back, and the defenders of Tongtian Pass turned against each other, and the Estelle Demon Girl has fled with the Xiao thief henchmen!" At this time, the military horses left behind by Li were rushing towards the Beijing Division! Your throne is about to be restored! ”
"Boom!"
The flower scissors in Yun Chongming's hand fell to the ground!
"Daquan, what you said is true? Don't tease me! Yun Chongming stared at Zhao Daquandao.
"Ouch, Your Majesty! How dare the slave lie to you?! Zhao Daquan stomped his feet anxiously.
"So what you say is true?"
"It's true! The slave dares to vouch for the head of the item! Zhao Daquan said with a stiff neck.
"Ahh Yun Chongming suddenly laughed like crazy, "God has eyes! I finally keep the clouds open and see the bright moon! Smiling and smiling, Yun Chongming's eyes were red, he had been a puppet for almost a year, to say that he didn't want to restore his former rights, it would definitely be a lie! The truth is, that's what he's been thinking about for a long time!
After laughing for a long time, Yun Chongming stopped and turned to Zhao Daquan: "Daquan, go and gather the civil and military officials, I will hold a feast in the Tianqing Hall today to celebrate the revitalization of the society and the revitalization of the dynasty!" ”
"No!" Zhao Daquan agreed, and he didn't care about sweating profusely, so he ran out again to find Xiao Huangmen to pass the decree.
"The world is not a minister, since you have given me this opportunity, I must get back the shame I suffered before!" Yun Chongming gritted his teeth.
……
On the same day in the Tianqing Palace, the scholars and doctors gathered together and congratulated Emperor Yun in unison on the restoration of power, and Yun Chongming was overjoyed, and he also endured a handful of blood, and allocated 500,000 yuan of various treasures and gifts for them from the inner treasury that had just been taken over.
When the ministers are not there, although they also pay salaries to civil officials, but there are no other rewards at all. But as before, they took advantage of their positions to embezzle ~ public funds, but they didn't have the courage to do so, they scolded the ministers in their hearts for being traitors, and the ministers used severe punishment on the bright side, and all those who were found to have embezzled public funds were sentenced according to the "Criminal Law" formulated in the early days of the Eighteenth Empire.
As we all know, when a country was first established, it was often a period when the troubled times had just ended, a hundred wastes were waiting to be rebuilt, and the economy was not very developed.
In the peaceful years, embezzlement of a hundred yuan of money, ten taels of silver, etc., can only be regarded as a "trivial" petty crime, even if it is reported, the imperial court in order to take care of the dignity of officials, often will not investigate, and according to the "Criminal Law" formulated in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, this crime is enough to confiscate family property, deprive of fame, and send people into exile......
If the officials are not governed in strict accordance with this kind of law, the civil officials will fall into blood mold when they land, and the greedy ones will be beheaded and hanged, not to mention the few who are deprived of their writings since they were born, and their homes will be exiled!
In short, during the period when they were not in power, the civil servants no longer had the superior status and various privileges they had in the past, and life would naturally be very difficult.
Some masters who never spend money on weekdays don't even have rice in the pot, so they have to rely on pawn selling utensils to survive, which is called a hardship and hardship, and the pain is unbearable!
At present, Yun Chongming's generous loose money suddenly made the civil officials who had lived a hard life for almost a year grateful, and called him a rare Taoist monarch!
Yun Chongming has also heard about what happened to his courtiers during this period of time, in addition to gloating in his heart, he has not been slandered and recklessly governed by ministers!
usurping power and seizing the country, I don't want to win the hearts of the people as soon as possible, but I play some harsh punishment and law, and offend everyone.
The feast ended in the case of the monarch and the ministers, most of the civil officials were drunk, among which the right prime minister Yuan Siwen's performance was the most exaggerated, after getting drunk, the dignified prime minister actually wore a patched shabby official uniform on the main hall and sang a play, picking a joke praising the Ming monarch and the holy lord.
While Yun Chongming felt funny, he hurriedly asked the little yellow men to help Prime Minister Yuan go to the side hall to rest, so that this farce did not continue......
It had been two and a half days since Ma Chen arrived with his troops, and 90% of the military horses under his command were infantry, and there were no dragoons among them, so the speed was naturally not fast.
As soon as he entered the Beijing Division, he was summoned by Yun Chongming, and the title of a marquis was sealed on his head on the spot, Ma Chen hurriedly made a grateful look, but the monarch and the minister were not happy for long, and a small yellow door ran into the Zichen Hall in a panic, and told them the news that Buchen had repelled Gongde and was fighting south.
This made the expressions on Yun Chongming and Ma Chen's faces instantly stiffen......
