Chapter 84: Impeachment and Anger (5)
"Master Shi, it's not good!"
It was noon, Shi Xiushen had just finished supervising the training of the soldiers, and before he took off his armor, he saw Taisu and Cunzhao coming from the Yuanmen, and then they each dismounted.
"The two royal princes, what happened to you, so frightened?" Xiu Shen hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
I saw Cun Zhao with an anxious look, took a horsewhip, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked him first: "Shi Siban, your soldiers didn't make trouble, right?" ”
Shi Xiushen only moved his eyelids, and then said with a smile: "Shi Mou has always governed the army with his heart, and he has never treated the soldiers badly, I don't know where this comes from." ”
"It's true," Cunzhao sighed, "we do have a problem here. Since a few days ago, many soldiers of the forbidden army have heard that Yan Xiang's new policy has spread widely, and there are officials and people who have been killed all over the world, so they are worried about the countryside and cannot live in fear, especially those who are born in rich families, and the reaction is the most intense, often inciting others, and the momentum is getting louder and louder. Uncle Huang and I tried to persuade him repeatedly to no avail, and I had a headache for this. I hope that Shi Siban will help him, and ask Zhongshu Province to order appeasement, or he can calm down. Otherwise, once the mutiny comes out, it will be extraordinary, and you and I will have to bear the burden of a sea of blood! ”
Shi Xiushen didn't think much about it, and happily promised: "Since the two emperors ask for each other, how can Shi refuse?" I will send someone to inform Zhongshu Province to resolve this matter as soon as possible. ”
Cun Zhao glanced at Tai Su with the afterglow, the latter nodded his head twice, and he stepped forward to hold Shi Xiushen's hand, and his tone was extremely heavy: "Master Shi, this matter can only be reported to Niu Gong, don't talk about Yan Xiang!" He is already a little enchanted, if he is told to know first, he will definitely punish us, and the danger of the forbidden palace will not be saved...... I hope that the public can understand my words! ”
"Shi understands this truth, don't worry!" Shi Xiushen pulled out his hand and hugged them.
Taisu was overjoyed when he heard this, clapped his hands and said: "With the words of Shi Siban, we are down-to-earth in our hearts!" Cunzhao, let's go, go back to the camp! ”
Shi Xiushen smiled and watched them get on the horse, and watched them go away, leaving flying dust over the school field, and his eyes became solemn again.
"Master Shi, it seems that the two royal princes have other plans." The deputy general walked out of the camp tent and looked at Shi Xiushen's back and said.
"They are willing to turn to the Liu Dang for help," Shi Xiushen suddenly turned around and looked straight at him, "Who is Prime Minister Feng, don't they know it themselves?" I can't comment on the current new policy, but if we let Bong Xiang lead us by the nose, then the usurpation plot will happen sooner or later, and the situation will be even more chaotic! ”
"Yes, no matter what, the two Si Ban and the tiger conspired for skin, and in the end only the emperor was injured, I don't know what Your Majesty will think." Adjutant said.
"The matter can't be put on hold...... On the one hand, you can send people to report to the prime minister, and on the other hand, urge the soldiers to train day and night, polish their weapons, and always be ready to deal with mutiny. ”
The adjutant general pondered for a moment, and then admonished again: "Master Shi, if the matter of military training is discovered and accused of rebellion, it will not be washed even if you jump into the Yellow River." The lower officials feel that we should be put off our responsibilities first, and we can't just be so willingly trapped! ”
Shi Xiushen smiled lightly: "This is my responsibility, what are you doing hiding from him?" I don't hide when I should dodge, and I've never been afraid of what I shouldn't. Shi Mou was able to sit in this position, and he definitely didn't rely on Mingzhe to protect himself! Don't worry, I'll be the first to come out when the sky falls. ”
The adjutant was deeply impressed by his words, and after saluting him respectfully, he walked towards the barracks.
"Forbidden Army Mutiny?" Hong Lishen and Li Wenshou sat in the hall, and they were stunned when they heard Niu Yuan read this.
"Did you see that? What a serious problem Yan Wen caused by these new policies! Niu Yuan put down the newspaper, knocked on the table and said, "Yan Wen is responsible for one by one on weekdays, if something really happens, don't you have to bother General Liu to deal with it?" ”
Hong Lishen and Li Wenshou glanced at each other, and then arched their hands and said: "It is not unreasonable for the prime minister to be worried. But now that Yan Xiang has been protected by the holy decree, he is unscrupulous in what he does, how can he be helped? ”
Niu Yuan sneered: "What is this? He has the Holy Will as a backer, and I have the forbidden army to fight against him! You come up with an idea to make things bigger, so that you can call Yan Wen down. ”
Hong Li said cautiously: "The forbidden soldiers are now deeply angry, and they don't believe in the chief, so they will focus on the orders of the Chinese book." The prime minister can first send his henchmen to carry the reward, and use your own name to appease the officers and soldiers and buy the hearts of the people; Then he told Yan Xiang and persuaded him to order strict governance. After coming and going, the soldiers naturally hate Yan Xiang deeply, and they are grateful to you. At that time, he was jointly impeached with the ministers, and the new deal was definitely dead! ”
Niu Yuan was overjoyed, pointed at Hong Lishen and laughed: "You still have a lot of poisonous methods!" However, Cun Zhao and Taisu have always been enemies of me, and today they suddenly came to ask for help, I don't know what their intentions are, and they must not blindly believe it. Send someone to listen to the truth first, and then do the trick. ”
The two bowed their heads in silence.
"Don't talk about this," Niu Yuan stood up and piled the paperwork on the big table beside him, "Anyway, how many people have gathered over there in Zeng Liang, have you inquired?" ”
Hong Lishen said: "That Zeng Liang really has some ability. I heard that Gao Jizhi and other ministers are willing to be impeached on the same road, so I waited for Lord Niu to take the lead. Only Ye Yongjia of the Ministry of War is still watching, and he is going to persuade him this afternoon, and he will probably be able to do it. ”
"Fengxiang, this Zeng Xiangzhi, who behaves so stubbornly on the surface, seems to be hard-hearted, and secretly has the ability to stir people's hearts, which direct minister in the past has a person like him? It's really a person who doesn't see the same thing. Please take strict precautions to avoid harm to them. Li Wenshou admonished.
"Actually, why don't I know this?" Niu Yuan patted his thigh and said, "It's not just me, in fact, everyone understands." But this official would rather be straight than straight. Only by using such people can it be easier to grasp the direction of the situation, and not to talk nonsense without rules. As for what you said about the direct ministers of the past dynasties, but you have never met them, how can you know them? One by one, who are thriving in the officialdom, what kind of good kind can they be. ”
After saying that, Hong Lishen hurriedly said yes next to him, but Li Wenshou disagreed: "If your idea is like this, Shu Wenshou can't agree." ”
Niu Yuandao: "Vice President Li attaches too much importance to morality when he participates in politics. These open and covert battles in the officialdom are actually beneficial to national politics. Only the most shrewd people can harness the peoples and drive away the ants; If our methods are not clever, how can we weaken the people? Don't you hear the people of your predecessors, the people are weak and the country is strong......" As he spoke, he wandered around the lobby and began to slowly recite the Book of Shang Jun.
