Chapter 865: This sincerity is a gentleman
Fengtian Temple.
In the midst of the rumbling of the cannon, everyone seemed a little nervous.
The vast majority of people who can sit here and talk about politics are not young, and they are dying of old age, where can they stand such a toss?
However, it has always been a tradition to sit and talk about the Tao, and the more critical the moment, the more powerful the words will be.
At this time, it was Ying Tianfu Yin Gu Zuo who spoke, this Lord Gu has always been upright, he sometimes entered the inner court to work, and lived alone in a small mezzanine, not to discuss politics and sit with the officials. People called him "Gu Sitting Alone". In front of everyone, Gu Zuo looked impassioned: "In the city of Beijing, there are more than 200,000 military horses, all of which are elite soldiers, the gentry and people in the city, and more dependent on the imperial court, the heart is to my Daming, and the tired thieves outside the city are only more than 20,000, but the military horses in the city are not able to shrink, and let the Langshan thieves capture the city gate. The imperial court can no longer tolerate and nurture traitors, my lords, listen to me, we should advise the Son of Heaven, mobilize heavy troops, and block the bandits in Langshan, so that the thieves have nowhere to hide, so that they can protect the society. ”
Gu Zuo said it very sadly, but he was the main battle faction and was quite popular.
Originally, the Langshan thieves were in Songjiang, Chongming, and Changxing, and there were not many supporters of the main battle faction, and the vast majority of people were satisfied with the status quo, after all, hundreds of thousands of troops stayed in Jinling, and they always taught people to feel at ease.
But now, the bandits have arrived at the city gate, and this startled cannon, how can they stand it, so. The main battle is very noisy, and they will not be slaughtered by others anymore.
Gu Zuo said proudly: "If the imperial court attacks." Ying Tianfu recruited villagers in the city to help defend the city. I am a strong general, then out of the city and attack, the army and the people in the city, up and down, up and down, just thieves, can be broken. ”
When his voice fell, many people applauded him, and some people shook their heads and said, "Gu Gonggao's theory, it should be so." ”
"Langshan District Bandits. It is the light of the fireflies to compete with the sun and the moon, and the soldiers and horses of the court are ten times that of him, why is he cowardly! ”
"If there is a traitor in the court, it must have misled the Son of Heaven and mistaken the country."
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Huang Huai sat steadily on the side of the Jinluan Palace, his eyes half open and half closed, as if he was napping.
However, everyone has noticed him, and this old minister who has gone through three dynasties can be regarded as the only one left. Now in a high position, especially as the Son of Heaven becomes more and more desolate to the government, the role of this cabinet scholar is getting bigger and bigger.
In fact, bachelors and eunuchs are almost the same, they are all lazy tools of the Son of Heaven. When Emperor Taizu was there, that workaholic took care of almost all the work, no matter how big or small. Even if you forget to sleep and eat, you have to ask, so there is nothing to do with the eunuchs. There won't be anything to do with a bachelor, even a minister. Emperor Taizu also felt that it didn't matter, who didn't like it, cut it down, kill your whole family, and don't blink your eyes, the reason why this is so is because Emperor Taizu is not worried that the ministers can't do their work, they can't do it, they can't do it, they just roll up their sleeves and do it, without Zhang Butcher, can't they eat meat?
Later, when he came to the first emperor, the first emperor was also quite diligent, although he was not as good as Taizu, but he was finally worthy of the word diligence, but occasionally he would steal some laziness, and when the Son of Heaven was idle, he naturally became a eunuch and a cabinet bachelor, so the status of these two types of people also rose, after all, the emperors in this world are not official terminators like Taizu.
Now, the Son of Heaven is fine at first, but as the war becomes more and more tense, the Son of Heaven always cares about military affairs, and he doesn't care about other things, he has neither energy nor mood, so in addition to military affairs, almost all other things are taken care of by Huang Huai.
At this time, Huang Huai is already above 10,000 people under one person, compared to his predecessor Xie Jin, he has more authority, this former little follower is now pivotal, and it is not an exaggeration to call him this Zaifu.
Someone couldn't help but get up and said to Huang Huai: "What about Huang Gongyi?" ”
Huang Huai's body was upright, and he immediately cheered up, he knew that these ministers of the main battle represented the military heart and public opinion, this thing is the surging river, which can be sparse and can never be blocked, so Huang Huai said: "Gu Gong is righteous, the old man thinks so, this forgives the bandits, the soldiers are dangerous, but according to the old man's view, they are just grasshoppers after the autumn, and they can't grow ......."
Speaking of this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Huang Huai himself smiled, took a sip of tea, and continued: "They are a method of intimidation, originally the court was blindly tolerant, originally thought that they could get lost and know how to return, who knew that they were unrepentant, now, the Son of Heaven is sage, supported by all the people, looking inside and outside the court, loyal ministers and good generals, it can be said that there are too many to mention......
As he spoke, there was a tumultuous footsteps coming from outside, and groups of guards poured in, surrounding the place.
The ministers were stunned for a moment, some were at a loss, some were a little at a loss, and some stood up and shouted: "What kind of person, so bold, dares to trespass into the Fengtian Temple, can you have a holy order?" ”
Huang Huai's face also froze, he restrained his smile, and suddenly put on a lazy look again.
At this time, Xu Jingming walked in.
This Dingguo Duke swayed, giggling, glanced here, and sighed: "Princes, Princesses...... I'm really sorry, but something happened very much today, and my father was ordered to come to protect you from any damage. Ahem...... Everyone is an old acquaintance, there is no need to have any doubts, are the princes in the court? Go on, keep it up, right when I'm not here. ”
Someone who was interested heard the word "order", but it was not an order, so many people's faces changed suddenly.
Obviously, this is not the order of the Son of Heaven, without the order of the Son of Heaven, Xu Jingming actually broke into here with the guards, isn't this obvious enough?
The ministers have always regarded Huang Huai as the backbone, and naturally looked in the direction of Huang Huai.
Huang Huai regained his half-open and half-closed eyes, full of exhaustion, and did not say a word.
Some people are angry, at such a critical moment, the emperor actually does not fight according to reason, what does this mean?
Yin Guzuo of Ying Tianfu, who had spoken before, stood up and didn't pay attention to Xu Jingming, but asked Huang Huai: "Huang Gong, don't you have anything to say?" ”
Huang Huai opened his eyes at this time, looking dazed, as if he was old and confused, but he didn't know what was going on, he sighed, and then said: "Yes, where did the old man go?" By the way, when it comes to the Langshan thieves, they are vulnerable, but right now, His Majesty is not feeling well, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to preside over the military and politics, and in this current situation, someone has to come out to clean up the situation, fortunately, the Virgin Mary Xu is in the court, and the Empress Dowager Xu Shengming, she is presiding over the situation in the palace, and it is expected that the thieves will be broken, and the princes ......"
Huang Huai chattered, looking stupid, and was talking energetically, but Gu Zuo was furious.
This meaning couldn't be more obvious, Gu Zuo almost rushed forward, directly spitting at Huang Huai's face, Gu Zuo scolded: "I thought you were a pillar country, but I just thought it was an old horseman." ”
The hundred officials were stunned, some were for Huang Huai, and some were surprised by Gu Zuo's boldness.
This mouthful of foam was spit on Huang Huai's old face, and even splashed directly in Huang Huai's eyes, Huang Huai was not angry, and he didn't wipe it with his sleeve, but he still had a modest smile on his face, as usual, he continued: "Princess, I see, I should respectfully invite the Holy Mother Xu Empress Dowager to preside over the military and political counsellor, and the princess will ......talk about it."
That Xu Jingming watched Gu Zuo attack Huang Huai, but instead of stopping it, he snickered on the side.
It's just that this Gu Zuo was even more angry, and he sharply interrupted Huang Huai's words: "The country has a long monarch, why should the Queen Mother be in charge, Your Majesty is in good health, and we should assist in the great cause of the matter of being loyal to the monarch......"
At this time, Xu Jingming was furious, and he frowned.
Huang Huai was still the old god, the spit on his face was still there, crystal clear, but he looked at Gu Zuo with a smile.
"Could it be that someone is trying to rebel? Gu is not talented, he was born in Qianmo, and he received the grace of God......"
Syllable......
At this time, the sound of fire was heard.
It was Xu Jingming who fired the fire, with a little sly smile on his face.
Gu Zuo was shot in front of the door, and immediately blood gushed out, he still opened his blood-stained eyes wide, and laughed: "Jumping clowns, ghosts, haha...... Dare to make trouble, sooner or later, there will be no place to die! ”
Instantly, he fell.
Xu Jingming's face was pale, and chaos had already begun in the Fengtian Palace.
At this time, a voice calmed everyone down.
Huang Huai's mechanical voice continued to sound: "Tell me, Zhugong, is this the truth...... As for us, we are courtiers, and those who are ministers must know the righteousness, what is the righteousness, the righteousness is filial piety, the Virgin Mother Xu is the mother of the Son of Heaven......"
Several captains had already dragged Gu Zuo's body down, but the blood was still pervasive.
Huang Huai chattered, like an old pedant, telling young people about his life experience. this
And the officials, at this time the crows are silent.
After Gu Zuo, there is no Gu Zuo.
Some are just Huang Huai!
