Chapter 918: The Imperial Driver's Expedition (Second Update)
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao, who was trying to restrain his emotions, but was full of concerns, and slowly stood up with low eyebrows, but he didn't leave, he knew...... The real show is about to begin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
So Liu Jin stood aside, carefully observing Zhu Houzhao's every move, and countless thoughts had already turned in his heart.
Ye Chunqiu's death certainly made him happy, but the court situation after Ye Chunqiu's death was what he was looking forward to the most.
Next...... How?
It didn't take long for Liu Jian and the others to come in with a worried look, but in fact, after getting the report, the entire cabinet was in a complete uproar.
King Anhua rebelled, Ningxia is a border land, the border army rebellion is a very serious incident, because they are the barrier of the Ming Dynasty, once these people rebel, not properly handled, the rebellion can not be immediately quelled, which means that these rebels are very likely to collude with the people.
If the rebels liaise with the Fan, or even with the Tatars, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it might even make the imperial court completely lose the Hexi Corridor, making this Guanzhong and even Hanzhong the front line against the enemy.
In order to consolidate the Hexi Corridor, the imperial court spent a lot of money for more than a hundred years, not to mention raising so many border troops every year, almost every year to build fortresses, strengthen city defenses, and countless money and grain were put into it.
And once this place is lost, then in the future, the entire Ming Dynasty will have to start to make Hanzhong and Guanzhong a military town, and this ...... Not to mention the cost of money and food, how serious will the consequences be if this populous grain producing area directly faces the threat of the enemy?
And the biggest hidden danger is not only these, the most important thing is that if the rebels support Zhu Ningyao, the king of Anhua, it will be a serious problem.
Most of the ordinary rebellions are the routine of the officials forcing the people to rebel, they have almost no political program, and they have no long-term goals, they just really have no way to live and a livelihood, so they rise up, as long as the officials and troops arrive, it is easy not to clean them up.
Now, the rebels not only have the Ming clan as the object, then the political program is bound to be clear, and from the text, the other party is obviously in the name of the Qing monarch, this is the old routine, but this old routine is the real terrible means, because the Qing monarch side is easy to demagogue, and it is difficult for ordinary people to sympathize with the rebellion, but the Qing monarch side is different, first anti-corruption officials are not anti-emperor, in this way, it has won the sympathy of people who are oppressed by the government everywhere, and even some frustrated scholars may also participate in it.
This is obviously the most serious rebellion in the Ming Dynasty since the Battle of Jingjing, and once it is not handled properly, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Liu Jian understood that the rebellion must be quelled as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it dragged on, the worse the consequences.
It's just that in that text, there is one thing that makes him feel sorry, Ye Chunqiu is actually dead.
Wang Hua and Xie Qian learned the news, and almost fainted, as soon as Ye Chunqiu died, the pattern of the court was afraid that it would change, and he felt sorry for Ye Chunqiu in his heart, but he couldn't help but worry.
For a long time, the reason why the infamous Eight Tigers in the past have been suppressed in the past two years, or why they dare not be as domineering as before, to a certain extent, Ye Chunqiu has some credit, and now Ye Chunqiu is dead......
Ay......
Liu Jian was the leader, the rest were the pale Xie Qian, Wang Hua, Li Dongyang's expression was also a little cold, and then it was Zhang Cai, the official of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Cai never expected to get such good news, it was like suddenly winning the jackpot, that Ye Chunqiu, it was a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of him and Liu Gonggong, now it's okay, the matter is solved all at once, Ye Chunqiu died, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.
Liu Yu followed behind Zhang Cai, his face couldn't help but pass with joy, but he wanted to pretend to be sad, if it wasn't for Ye Chunqiu, he might have entered the cabinet now, a very popular minister, who would have expected, but in the end he was ruthlessly planted, now Ye Chunqiu has died, it can be regarded as avenging his own arrow, he desperately wanted to hide his joy, so he had to lower his head, stiffen his face, and follow everyone into the warm pavilion.
Everyone saw Zhu Houzhao, and from Zhu Houzhao's face, they could tell the mood of the little emperor at a glance, the dejected appearance, and the tears that had not been wiped clean on his face, all telling the grief of the little emperor.
Everyone made a big salute, but Zhu Houzhao didn't react, but Liu Jin looked at it and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty is sick, everyone get up." ”
Then he asked for them to be seated, and everyone sat down, each with his own thoughts.
Zhu Houzhao suddenly said: "I want to drive the expedition in person!" ”
Driving the Expedition!
This is Zhu Houzhao's first thought, but this time, he is no longer as playful as before, he can't wait to personally break the body of Zhu Ningzhao into ten thousand pieces, this time in person, it is Zhu Houzhao who wants to avenge Ye Chunqiu with his own hands, once this idea comes out, it is like opening Pandora's box.
Liu Jian and the others looked at each other, and then Liu Jian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the King of Anhua is just gathering tens of thousands, Your Majesty can send capable ministers to send troops to clear it, how can you condescend to work for Your Majesty personally?" What's more, now that the people of the country are suspicious and the officials are uneasy, His Majesty should stay in Beijing to reassure the people. The minister thought that Yang Yiqing, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, could take on this position, and Yang Yiqing built border defenses during his tenure, and his subordinates were willing to rely on him. Now Ningxia rebellion, many of the rebels are mostly Yang Yiqing's old officials, want to quell the rebellion, His Majesty can use Yang Yiqing's general military affairs, and the chief military officer Shen Ying to quell the rebellion, and order the official Zhang Yong as the overseer, at that time, the rebels will be in chaos, and the rebellion can be determined immediately. ”
Liu Jian mentioned Yang Yiqing at this time, on the one hand, Yang Yiqing had some friendship with him, on the other hand, Yang Yiqing was indeed the most suitable candidate, when Yang Yiqing was appointed as the governor of Ganshan and Shaanxi, the military affairs of the three towns, but because he refused to attach himself to Liu Jin, and begging for the old Zhishi, now he is idle in Beijing, taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Yiqing is used, it is a good choice for Liu Jian.
Liu Jian even faintly felt that with the feud between Yang Yiqing and Liu Jin, once the rebellion was quelled, there would be a lot of articles to do, which was also a layout after Ye Chunqiu's death.
What's more, although Yang Yiqing is a civilian official, he has been supervising the military horses in the border towns, which can be regarded as a rare handsome talent in the Ming Dynasty, and it is suitable to have him to quell this rebellion.
As soon as Liu Jian's words fell, Li Dongyang immediately chimed in: "What Gong Liu said is very true, and the minister also thinks that Yang Yiqing is the best candidate. ”
