Chapter 537: Traitor!
As the deadline for the imperial court to recover the occupied military cantonment is getting closer and closer, there should always be a choice between compromise and uncompromise.
Jiang Han, the chief military officer, didn't think about it, although he was also very distressed about the wealth he had gotten, but he was in a high position, and he saw clearly that Emperor Zhengde's power was stable, and it was unwise to resist.
The most important thing is that he himself has retreated, firstly, unlike He Jinyi, who has invaded and occupied so many military camps of 2,500 hectares, and secondly, he and Yang Ying have fought meritorious battles in the past, so they were promoted by the emperor step by step, and only make small mistakes and not die.
Cleaning up the military camp itself is not from top to bottom, so you don't have to worry too much about losing your life.
This is different from the atmosphere in the city now, but he is not good at explaining one by one, and no one will believe the explanation, even if others are willing to believe him, he himself is difficult to protect, and it is difficult to give people assurance.
He is like this, many generals and some soldiers of the other guards do not have such a large room for concession, wealth is a very complex concept, some people seem to have land, but in fact, they may still be in debt, so they rely on these fields to survive.
This is a situation for one family, and each family is not the same.
Now that the imperial court has ordered all of them to return, it is true that the normal life of some people will be affected.
Many people were very dissatisfied, and everyone gathered together to privately scold the imperial court, but as the date approached, this dissatisfaction and insults became public.
This kind of emotion is more convenient for Sun Jingwen and Meng Bin to take advantage of, for more than ten days, they ran around, secretly persuading, many people were already angry, and they didn't know how to vent it.
Now it's okay, the entire Ningxia Wei is agitated like a powder keg.
On August 30, the king of Anhua suddenly set up a banquet in the palace to celebrate his birthday and sent invitations to officials of all sizes in Ningxia.
He's very sensitive this day,
But no matter how much Jiang Han, Yang Ying and others used their imagination, they couldn't imagine that they were encountering such a major event as rebellion.
King Anhua has lived in Ningxia for a long time, and his invitation cannot but give face.
Moreover, many people actually feel in their hearts that September 1 is coming, and there is no explanation for what to do with the biggest thing in Ningxia City at the moment.
Jiang Han, Yang Ying, Li Zeng, these characters with heads and faces, they can't usually find it, but they can't escape tonight.
On the evening of this day, the whole palace was full of lights, flowers were all over the ground, officials rode sedan chairs, military generals rode horses, the gate was crowded to the brim, and the guests rushed in, it was really a lively scene.
"The town guard eunuch Gonggong Li has four brocade boxes and one hundred-year-old ginseng!"
"Congratulations!"
"Li Gong, please!"
In the palace,
Sun Jingwen bypassed the corridor of the palace, pushed the door into a room, and said respectfully: "Lord, we have never arrived at that Qin mission. ”
"Did you deliver the invitation?" King Anhua stretched out his arms and let the people in the palace change his clothes for him.
"Handed it over, sent someone to deliver it to Guyuan Mansion."
"Handed it over?" He was a little silent, in fact, Zhang Xuan was looking forward to coming, just to avenge the offense that day. But if people don't come, there seems to be no good way at the moment.
It's just that...... This grudge is even deeper......
King Anhua suddenly felt faceless, and said angrily: "This king invited a banquet, but he didn't come!" No one is here, and this king will be able to do it in the future! ”
Sun Jingwen squinted his eyes and smiled on the side, "Lord Wang, my subordinates thought that he shouldn't have the courage to come." He set a deadline for everyone in a decent way, but he didn't know that there were many people who were dissatisfied with him, and there were not many people who wanted to get rid of him tonight, so how dare he know that? ”
The logic of this reason makes sense.
The palace has also hosted banquets in previous years, but this time it is also the largest, and many people are here for 'that thing'.
However, tonight is a big deal, and this Qin is not coming for no reason, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in King Anhua's heart.
"Outside, is everything normal?"
"Back to the prince's words, everything was arranged according to the plan. Just wait for the prince's order tonight. ”
"Good!" With this answer, King Anhua felt much more at ease, and at the same time did not forget to sneer and mock, "It turns out that he is also a gutless rat!" ”
Not long after, a subordinate came in from outside, "Lord Wang, Jiang Zongbing and Gonggong Li have arrived." ”
"Got it."
……
……
Tonight's high-ranking officials of the palace walked all over the ground, and it was a real full of guests and friends.
The politeness between the guest and the host is as boring as a prescribed action, and there is nothing to say. Just waiting for the auspicious time to arrive, each of them took their seats, King Anhua walked out of the side room, and said in public with a bit of spirit: "Today is the thirty-fourth birthday of this king, and I am deeply grateful to all of you for coming to congratulate me." This king and most of the people here are old friends who have known each other for a long time, and there is not much else to say, everyone who comes is a guest, and everyone eats and has fun today! ”
Eat and have fun......
A black line fell on Jiang Han's face.
This vassal king is really unlearned, and such a welcoming speech gave him the feeling of a small merchant in the countryside.
"Living in Ningxia City, there may have been friendships between the Anhua Royal Mansion and you in the past, or there may have been disputes, no matter what, from now on, those who come today are my friends of the Anhua Palace!"
He stretched out his arms, and there was a bit of flavor in his posture.
That's the choice of words......
Meng Bin has been busy lately and didn't care about it, so he complained to Sun Jingwen at this time and said, "Why don't you write a paragraph for the prince?" ”
“…… Who said it wasn't written? It has already been written and handed over to the prince. ”
Written?
Can't you memorize it...... Alas.
"Ahem." Meng Bin was slightly embarrassed, "It's wrong to blame Brother Sun." ”
"It doesn't matter."
In fact, Sun Jingwen also felt embarrassed, didn't it suddenly make people see that there was no ink in his chest.
Fortunately, the people who came also had too high expectations of the cultural level of a vassal king, and no one cared about these in the first place.
When the banquet really begins, it is natural to start toasting and changing glasses.
It's just halfway through the process, there is another 'self-directed and self-acting' in the palace like that day.
Jiang Han, the chief soldier himself, could also predict it.
King Anhua said to Jiang Han: "General Jiang, the deadline for September 1 the day after tomorrow is approaching. This time, the imperial court wanted the officers and soldiers of Ningxia Town to return to the military tun, and there was a lot of uproar for more than a month. Mr. Jiang, how should this matter be handled? ”
The two columns of the banquet were all the main officials of Ningxia, in fact, who had the heart to eat this wine, at this time they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
Jiang Han was expressionless and said, "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." This is a holy decree, my generation is a minister, in addition to obeying the decree, what else can I do? ”
"Good! Jiang Zongbing is really loyal. What about Father-in-law Li, Father-in-law Li also plans to do so? ”
"Yes, the words from the palace have already arrived. The emperor sent our family to Ningxia, and our family has to take care of this place for the emperor. ”
The chief soldier and the eunuch of the town all said this, and the people sitting under the banquet began to feel a commotion.
"The fields are all given out, and my whole family will have to borrow money to survive in the future!"
"I'm still miserable, I lost money last month gambling pai gow, I wanted to rely on the land to mortgage some silver and then turn the tables, this time not only is there no hope of turning around, but I don't know what to do with the debt!"
……
The sound of Suo Suo continued.
The anger of the crowd seemed to be visible to the naked eye.
At this time, all pretense is no longer necessary, and since you have made up your mind, you can't retreat at a critical time.
"Jiang Zongbing and Gonggong Li are willing to retreat from the field, but ......" King Anhua stood up, "This king is unwilling to retreat!" ”
Bang!!
A fine white porcelain cup he slammed to the ground.
It was the classic cup-smashing number, and in an instant, hundreds of elite soldiers in battle armor rushed out, and they went around from both sides of the banquet hall to behind everyone, but anyone who wanted to draw their swords was held down.
At the same time, a team of people appeared outside the palace, and Zhou Ang led his subordinates to drive all the guards brought by officials from all walks of life to the courtyard and squat.
The situation took a turn for the worse in an instant.
Deputy Chief Soldier Yang Ying was anxious, he felt that something was wrong, got up and asked, "King Anhua, do you want to do something wrong?!" ”
"Misdeeds?" King Anhua walked to the middle of the crowd below and said impassionedly: "All the soldiers are people who have resisted the Tatars and made war exploits!" The year before last, in the battle of Huamachi, you all know how many brothers died in Ningxia Town! Now that the Tatars have been beaten away, the imperial court has begun to cross the river and tear down bridges, turning their faces and denying people!
Cleaning up the military camp on the surface is actually asking for our net worth! When today's son is ruthless and unemotional, as far away as Zhejiang and Fujian, and as close as Beizhili and Huai'an, where is not the killing of people's heads? ! Who spared him from death after handing over his wealth? And now, it's Ningxia's turn! ”
It's Ningxia's turn!!
This sentence was shouted the hardest, and its voice floated back and forth in the hall, hitting people's hearts!
"What this king is doing today is to do the right thing for heaven and show the orthodoxy of the court. The Son of Heaven and the scholars share the world, this is the truth since ancient times. This king hereby swears that after the deed is completed, you can enjoy the glory and wealth to the fullest! Jiang Han, Li Zeng, Yang Ying, this king advises you to get lost as soon as possible, so as not to lose your lives here! ”
Jiang Han was so shocked that his scalp jumped, how could there be such a thing, and he forced everyone to express his stance at the banquet? !
Li Zeng, the eunuch guarding the town, was even more furious, "Bah! You rebellious ministers and thieves, you dare to bewitch the people and rebel! As everyone knows, as soon as the imperial army arrives, it will immediately crush your bones and scatter ashes! The emperor is the concubine of the first emperor and the orthodoxy of the royal family, how can you be compared to this little king of partial branches? ! ”
The old eunuch was so angry that he slapped the table again after scolding King Anhua, and glared at everyone, "Our family will take a good look at you today!" Write down each of your faces, and see which one of you has no conscience, ignoring the emperor's kindness, and wants to follow this rebellious king! In the future, as soon as the imperial court and the heavenly army arrive, our family will report to the emperor one by one, and punish the rebels and thieves to the nine clans, and the generation will not be able to turn over!! ”
After scolding this pass, Li Zeng was panting for breath, and at the same time looked directly at King Anhua, without fear!
