Chapter 520: Cover-up
Zhengde staggered into the Fengtian Palace, without the usual steps of the court, he was really confused, the feudal king's rebellion is not as good as the civil riot, these are two different concepts, the civil rebellion is a rebellion, and the feudal king's rebellion is also called rebellion, but they are the descendants of the Zhu family, the blood of Taizu, if you seriously say it, this is the struggle for power within the royal family.
In this kind of power struggle, many people's attitudes are not so clear, because no matter who finally seizes the throne, it is still the Zhu family, and this point is actually the most terrifying. There are countless such things in the past dynasties, not to mention the changes of Li Tang Xuanwumen, no one in later generations said that Li Shimin was a rebellion; King Yan of the Ming Dynasty raised troops to seize the throne, and now no one says that he is not, on the contrary, there are many people who sing praises and praises, and the strictness of the problem is self-evident.
The ministers were buzzing and discussing, seeing Zhengde rushing in, they were busy silencing and saluting together, how could Zhengde be in the mood to engage in these red tape, waved his hand and asked, "Where did you get the news?" Really? β
Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty, Yang Yiqing, the chief officer of the three sides, and Song Nan, the commander of Jinyiwei, jointly played the game. β
Zhengde suddenly remembered that Song Nan was still staying in Ningxia Town, and hurriedly asked: "Where is Song Nan, why didn't he return to Beijing." β
Yang Tinghe said: "It is said that Song Nan has insight into Zhu Ningyao's bad intentions, and he has been strictly monitored by him and cannot get out. Yang Yiqing escaped from Ningxia Town the day before the rebellion under the cover of official duties, and was now sitting in Lingzhou to mobilize troops. β
Zhengde said again: "Why didn't these folds go into my hands, but I am the last one to know." β
Yang Tinghe looked at Liu Jin, who looked uncertain, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor, Song Nan and Yang Yiqing's recital is specially marked that it cannot be through the hands of the ceremonial supervisor, in fact, Song Nan is going to report directly to the emperor through the Nanzhen Fusi, and the ministers don't know what it means, and there are many details The cabinet has not yet known, Nanzhen Fusi Sun Xuan is in the palace, and the emperor can ask him." β
Zhengde swept his eyes and said, "Where is Sun Xuan?" β
Sun Xuan appeared from the last shift, bowed his head and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Zhengde asked, "What about the fold?" What else did Song Nan say? β
Sun Xuan hurriedly presented the fold, Zhengde quickly glanced at it a few times, slapped it on the dragon case, and listened to Sun Xuan's words: "The emperor, the messenger who sent the fold is now unable to move due to the gallop of three nights and two days. β
Zhengde said: "Say it quickly." β
"The rebel king Zhu Ningjiao rebelled on the evening of the 19th of the first month, Jiang Han, the chief soldier of Ningxia Town, An Weixue, the governor of Ningxia, Li Zeng, the eunuch of the town army, and Zhou Dong, the young secretary of the Qincha, were all killed and martyred that night, and the commander of Ningxia Sanwei Zhou Ang, He Jin, Qiu Yue, etc., have all taken refuge in the rebel king, Ningxia Town is close to Pingyu City, and Shizuishan Dazhai has also fallen into the hands of Zhu Ningyao, and the entire Ningxia Town area has been occupied by rebels."
The ministers let out a burst of exclamations, they didn't know these things, although Sun Xuan immediately notified the cabinet after receiving the chapter, and the cabinet notified the civil and military officials of the six ministries, but the performance was not submitted, because it was specially requested by Yang Yiqing and Song Nan.
Zhengde leaned over and asked, "Didn't you Lord Song get out?" Shall he not be put to death in the city? β
Sun Xuan said: "The emperor forgives the sin, Lord Song confesses, some things cannot be said in the court, and the ministers need to report separately, Lord Song said, it is a matter of counterinsurgency, and the safety of the society is in danger, so it cannot be taken lightly." β
Zhengde wondered: "Why did he say that?" β
Yang Tinghe and the others were also dissatisfied: "What is Song Nan doing to cover up such a big thing? β
Sun Xuan said: "The emperor forgives the sin, Lord Song said that Zhu Ningyao's rebellion has been prepared for a long time, and it has been planned for a long time, and there are countless grains, grasses and weapons hoarded in the palace. β
The ministers were in an uproar, buzzing to each other, Song Nan said this very clearly, Song Nan suspected that someone in the court was colluding with Zhu Ningjiao to help him, so he couldn't announce the details in court.
Zhengde thought for a while and said, "That's it, you will come to see me alone later." β
Sun Xuandao: "The minister obeyed the order, Lord Song also said that although he had insight into the omen in advance, Zhu Ningxuan started the incident quickly, and hoped that the imperial court would not delay, and immediately ordered the encirclement and suppression, so as not to give the rebels a chance to grow." Lord Yang Yiqing has mobilized soldiers and horses from Guyuan, Pingliang, Yan'an, Yansui and other places to assemble in Lingzhou, and asked the emperor to allocate some soldiers and horses to assist. Lord Song reassured the emperor that he had a plan to quickly extinguish the chaos. β
Zhengde said happily: "It turns out that Song Nan and Yang Yi have a plan early in the morning, okay, I can rest assured; Immediately issued an order, appointed Song Nan as the governor of the counterinsurgency, Yang Yiqing as the deputy, and Zhang Yong as the lieutenant officer. β
The ministers agreed, the emperor decided so quickly or for the first time, Song Nan and Yang Yiqing were in the northwest, and no one could snatch away the position of the governor of the rebellion, but everyone was full of doubts, Song Nan mysteriously passed a lot of words to Sun Xuan, and Sun Xuan mysteriously wanted to secretly play the emperor, it seemed that there was something secret.
Everyone had a faint premonition in their hearts that something big might happen in the court.
β¦β¦
In the study room of Qianqing Palace, Zhengde ordered all the people to withdraw, leaving only Sun Xuan alone in the house, Liu Jin wanted to stay, but was reprimanded by Zhengde mercilessly.
"Sun Xuan, what does Song Nan want to sue sΓΉ me?"
"Your Majesty, although Lord Song has insight into Zhu Ningyao's rebellious heart, but he can't stop it, before the rebellion, two guards and horses in the three guards of Ningxia fell into the hands of the rebel king, but there is no solid evidence, so he can't transfer troops to stop it in time, I hope the emperor can forgive me."
"I would blame him, it's not his fault."
"Lord Song said that Qiu Yue's former guards were the ones who persuaded Zhu Ningjiao to return to him, so Zhu Ningjiao chose to rebel so quickly, because he had already mastered all the soldiers and horses in Ningxia Town."
Zhengde was stunned and said, "Why did Song Nan do this? β
"Lord Song is to let Qiu Yue pretend to surrender, this is the plan set by Lord Song and Qiu Yue, Lord Song said, Zhu Ningyu wants to rebel, sooner or later this day will always come, instead of waiting for him to be fully prepared, it is better to force him to do it as soon as possible, the long pain is better than the short pain, kill him in one fell swoop, and come to a hundred."
Zhengde thought for a while and said: "I don't understand this, but since Song Nan has arranged it like this, he must have his reasons, is Song Nan really sure that he can solve this matter quickly?" I'm still worried. β
Sun Xuan said: "Lord Song's ability, the emperor doesn't know, Lord Song is now hiding in Qiu Yue's military camp, once the opportunity comes, he will come to a nest with Qiu Yue to dig out his heart; The reason why I didn't say these things in the court was because I was afraid of revealing the whereabouts of Lord Song, which was related to the lives of Lord Song and Qiu Yue, and related to the success of the counterinsurgency, so we should not take it lightly. β
Zhengde nodded and said, "I see, but does Song Nan really think that someone is colluding with the thief?" I think Song Nan is too worried, shouldn't it be so. β
Sun Xuan said: "Your Majesty, the minister just played the words of Lord Song to the emperor, how the emperor chose to give up the ministers did not dare to speak falsely, from the perspective of the minister, he naturally believed in the words of Lord Song, Lord Song entered Ningxia Town and was almost assassinated, he must have learned something from it, and the rest of the ministers did not dare to guess more." β
Zhengde exclaimed: "Someone dares to assassinate Song Nan? That can only be the traitor Zhu Ningyao, doesn't Song Nan have insight into his conspiracy? Zhu Ningxiao must have wanted to kill people and kill people. β
Sun Xuan said: "If it's really Zhu Ningjiao, it's fine, but as far as the minister knows, it's not him, but someone else." β
Zhengde was stunned and said: "This matter allows Hou Zhen to personally ask Song Nan, now that the suppression of the rebellion is the most important, does Song Nan have anything else to say?" β
Sun Xuan shook his head and said, "The minister has already relayed everything, please retire." β
Zhengde nodded and said, "You go." β
Sun Xuanxuan withdrew, and saw Liu Jin standing on the corridor on the corridor, and wanted to detour, but Liu Jin stopped him and said, "Sun Zhenfu, have you finished talking to the emperor?" β
Sun Xuan smiled and said, "Yes, my father-in-law can go and serve the emperor." β
Liu Jin said: "Your Lord Song is really busy, he arrived in Ningxia Town in the blink of an eye, just now you said in the court that your Lord Song is still in Ningxia Town and has not escaped, King Anhua has rebelled, he is too dangerous in Ningxia City; You subordinates don't try to get him out, it's not good. β
Sun Xuan said: "Lord Song will not worry about his life, he acts in his own way. β
Liu Jin shook his head and said: "Lord Song is now an important minister of the imperial court, and it is not a good thing to be so adventurous, but it is estimated that such a shrewd person as Song Nan will definitely protect himself, and we guess that your lord must have copied the palace nest in one fell swoop, yes or no." β
Sun Xuan's heart jumped and he shook his head and said, "I don't know this, the whereabouts of the adults and the officials never inquire." β
Liu Jin smiled and said: "Sun Zhenfu's speech is becoming more and more tactful, and there are many talents in Jinyi Weizhong, which is really rare; Our family is just concerned about the safety of your family, just ask casually; By the way, your family has hinted that someone in the court is colluding with Zhu Ningyao, who is this person? Can you tell us a thing or two? Let's also order Dongchang Ti to ride to help you check; If there really is such a person in the court, it should be dug up as soon as possible. β
Sun Xuan shook his head with a smile and said: "My lord strictly ordered, you can't say it without evidence, and when the emperor asked me just now, I didn't dare to believe it." β
Liu Jin nodded at Sun Xuan and smiled: "It's not true, how about talking to our family in private?" Even if it's your Lord Song, if I ask him privately, he will sue me. β
Sun Xuan said with a smile: "Gonggong Liu still has a chance to ask Lord Song himself, I can't miss a word here." β
The displeasure on Liu Jin's face flashed away, and he smiled: "Could it be that your family is referring to our family." β
Sun Xuan said with a smile: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, all of them are possible; However, Gonggong Liu is the most unlikely one, who doesn't know that Gonggong Liu is the most loyal to the emperor? β
Liu Jin laughed and said: "That's it, don't delay you, a busy person, the road is slippery in the dark, you have to be careful when walking, Sun Zhenfu." β
Sun Xuan arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your concern, Gonggong Liu, you also have to be careful, you have gained weight recently, and your walking will be more unstable." β
