Chapter 116: Where Did the Catastrophe Begin? (2/2 for Mystia of the Alliance's Filthy Wing)

Enough of the debate, right?

Every word is being speculated by everyone.

They did not know under what circumstances or in what tone this was said, the only thing that was certain was that His Majesty felt that the debate should have stopped.

So the debate ended, and the ministers of the Council of State were to go to the Central Hall and tell the Emperor which of the chief companions of the Imperial Study, who they thought were the most knowledgeable and quick-witted members of the Imperial Study.

There are six cabinet ministers, and Sun Jiao has not yet arrived.

Jiuqing and Guo Xun are here, and Yang Yiqing has already set off for his post.

Those vacant seats, Yan Song couldn't sit down today, he and Liu Long stood on one side.

Zhu Houxi has calmed down, after all, he doesn't know if the war has started and what the battle situation is.

He just saw through a little more.

Therefore, the important ministers obviously felt that the emperor's eyes were more indifferent.

"From the Song Dynasty to today, I have been arguing for hundreds of years, and my mind has not died." Zhu Houxi didn't look at anyone, just said this, "Don't make a mistake about the purpose." Each person writes three names, Huang Jin, and collects them for statistics. ”

There is no room for further discussion here.

Everyone has a pen and paper in front of them, and they can write down the three imperial study companions in their hearts.

Liu Long breathed a long sigh of relief: Maybe you can get out, or go to repair history freely.

Cui Yuan's reminder, he is now feeling more and more deeply. The emperor's side is only suitable for people who have skills and ambitions.

Yan Song stood very calmly, not seeing if he cared.

Fifteen pieces of paper were collected, and Huang Jin quickly finished counting them and handed them to Zhu Houxi.

"It's clear." Zhu Houxi put the paper on the imperial case, "Except for Yan Song and Yang Shen, no one has been recommended by more than seven people." ”

Yan Song's eyelids couldn't help but tremble, but Yang Tinghe's face couldn't help but change.

"Do you sit comfortably on this chair in the imperial study?" Zhu Houxi looked at them, "It's because Xinxue has completely lost, and people who want to recommend Wang Shouren won't write his name?" Or did Wang Shouren win, and in the face of the crowd's heated discussions, I would not use him, and you would expect him to retreat in the face of difficulties? ”

“…… The ministers are ashamed to trust His Majesty. ”

Just listen to the previous sentence, and His Majesty asked them if they were comfortable sitting in the chair, so they couldn't sit first.

So he knelt down in the middle hall.

"Liu Longqian Hanlin Academy undertook the order, Yang Shen and Wang Shouren served as the companions of the imperial study, Yan Song was the chief, and the rest of the imperial study was given to walk and wait for the dispatch."

Yang Tinghe suddenly said: "The minister is ashamed to be listed in the cabinet, and the dog can no longer serve as an important position in the imperial study, so please ask Your Majesty to choose another meritorious." ”

"Juxian doesn't avoid relatives, and he's not the chief, what is the elder worried about?" Zhu Houxi finished saying this paragraph without fluctuating in his tone, "Yan Song, take a seat, today's discussion of the matter of sending ministers outside the country, including the eunuchs in various towns, the commanders of the various government divisions and the supervisors of the battalions. ”

Yan Song's heart sank, and after kneeling down to thank him, he sat down as the chief companion of the imperial study.

Liu Long thanked him with a sigh of relief: after staying by the emperor's side for two months, he was directly promoted to the Chengzhi of the Hanlin Academy, which was only one step away from the head of the court.

Soon after, two new Imperial Study Companions and Japanese Speaking Notes entered the Central Circle Hall.

The temporary center of the court decided on this.

……

The eunuchs who are sent to the local area are generally divided into four categories.

The first type is the town guard eunuchs at least at the provincial level, who are generally assigned by the celebrant eunuchs.

The second category is the eunuchs who are sent to the army, and they are generally sent by the imperial horse supervisors.

The third category is some mouths related to taxes and silver, such as the city department, such as the salt department, and this category is called the tax superintendent.

The fourth category is to supervise production in some mines, shipyards, military factories, manufacturing bureaus, and other places.

The eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven are all touched.

For the emperor, of course, it was of great significance. Therefore, even though many civil servants in all dynasties denounced the harm of foreign eunuchs, the emperor rarely abandoned this method.

The enthronement edict mentioned the issue of the ministers, and now Zhu Houxi took it out for them to discuss.

The people sitting here are all smart people, so Zhu Houxi coldly watched many people denounce the foreign ministers for their lack of national law, talent and incompetence, but they also pointed fingers and corrupted state affairs, and asked directly: "The main purpose of the foreign ministers is to set up another supervision in addition to the local governors to inspect the imperial history. If they don't abide by the laws of the country and live up to their hopes, will they only be punished, or do they think that the teachings of the sages and the selection of officials cannot achieve the goal of having both ability and political integrity? ”

Yang Tinghe's eyes suddenly condensed, and he looked at the emperor worriedly.

This is not a dispute between mind and science, do you want to deny the efficacy of Confucianism?

"The secretaries are ministers who participate in national policies, and they don't have to generalize, nor can they break and stand." Zhu Houxi grasped the rhythm indifferently, "There are many foreign ministers from all over the country who have been impeached, and there are also many local officials and governors who have been impeached. The direction of the deliberations should be how to strengthen supervision and control over the localities without excessively hindering the talents of principal officials in the military and government lines. ”

So it couldn't be discussed.

Because those who advocate the removal of foreign ministers want to leave more space for civil ministers, who wants to have more supervision systems?

It's not good to blatantly say that this is to suppress the imperial power.

"Then the old rule, think about it carefully after you go back, and discuss it after you come up with a strategy within a month." Zhu Houxi first raised this question, and then continued, "Since Wang Shouren has arrived in Beijing, the Chenhao Rebellion will be discussed, so let's discuss the results today." ”

Wang Shouren, who had not been able to become the chief of the imperial study but had indeed entered here, turned his head and looked over.

There was no special expression on the emperor's face.

If you think about it carefully, from the disposition after the feast to the suspension of today's debate, and listening to the teachings of the sages and the interpretation of the election system just now, there may not be any remarks about the election of officials with both ability and political integrity, and the emperor really does not attach importance to the so-called learning.

The Emperor had no intention of valuing him because of his learning.

Today he entered the imperial study, one of his colleagues is Yang Tinghe's student, and the other is his son, and the role of this target is not over yet.

But now that he still has to talk about it, how does His Majesty want to fiddle with him?

With Wang Xian as the main speech, the narrative in the Chenhao Rebellion began to play the plan.

First of all, the pro-conscription army that went south had no work but no success, and only a small amount of reward and silver was paid, and in the context of the current reduction and re-establishment of the three major battalions by recruitment, Jiang Mian and Wang Xian both thought that the situation could be suppressed.

As for the military generals who were rewarded for their merits because they followed Zhu Houzhao to the south, the rewards will be recovered.

Guo Xun can't speak for these people, and what about the group of people who recently killed Liang and risked merit in the Tang Majiu Rebellion.

In the end, it is the real heroes and generals led by Wang Shouren. In fact, the soldiers' rewards have long been discussed, mainly because of how the merits of local civil and military officials or Wang Shouren should be rewarded.

Mao Ji said the truth, thinking that he should be knighted and planned to be named a new uncle, Shi Xuan, Fei Hong, Zhang Zilin and Dali Siqing, and the general political envoy all thought so, but Wang Qiong and others did not speak.

failed to become the chief of the imperial study, but after all, he entered the imperial study and stayed by the emperor's side at any time.

Now, is it possible to bring him out again to a separate position? Can that be present at this national focus meeting?

They suddenly discovered that the emperor might not really be ready to reuse him, but just left him in the capital and took it out at any time to provoke the important ministers of science?

But Zhu Houxi opened his mouth and said: "Yang Yiqing's participation in the national policy conference has to be in charge of the three sides, and he also needs a military officer who can often participate in military affairs. Wang Shouren led the military department with the rank of left attendant, and accompanied him to read the national policy meeting with the imperial study, and temporarily took his responsibility when the important ministers of the border town who participated in the national policy meeting could not attend. ”

Yang Tinghe and the others were dumbfounded.

It turned out that what he left for Wang Shouren was not the chair of the chief of the imperial study, but half of Yang Yiqing's chair?

Because of his merits, he was promoted to the rank of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, although he did not go to the Ministry of War to perform his duties, but he was only half a step away from Jiuqing.

Coupled with the identity of the companion of the imperial study, Wang Shouren ...... Yes, there is such a qualification.

sent him an earl to be a lord and military general, and the civil servants were willing to do it; Only in the civil official sequence, how can he get a chair for this national policy meeting?

But now it has come true.

First went to the feast to give a bachelor's degree, and then in the name of selecting the imperial study to read the scriptures and had a close minister halo, now only receive the false title of the left squire of the military department, and sit on this chair only by virtue of the identity of the imperial study companion for Yang Yiqing.

Entering Beijing with the merit of quelling the rebellion, at this moment, any of the other civil servants in the court dared to stand up and say that they knew more about the army than him, Wang Shouren?

Wang Shouren sat between Guo Xun and Yan Song like this, and the only remaining imperial study accompanied Yang Shen was stunned.

"The next topic, the Imperial Brother's Mountain Mausoleum and the Ceremony of Introduction, and the Ritual of Pursuing the Loyal and Martial Prince."

……

It's not the end, everyone knows that the people on these eighteen chairs are complete, it's just the beginning.

Being impeached and not being held accountable for any crime is just one more privilege than ordinary courtiers, and it does not mean that you can sit back and relax.

No one in the capital knew about the naval battle at the mouth of the Pearl River, Xinxue finally came to the emperor's side, the descendants of the Yu family had to arrive in Beijing to participate in Yu Qian's memorial ceremony, and the last cabinet minister, Sun Jiaozheng, entered Beijing with the emperor's mother and sisters.

And Liang Chu's ship has already entered the Xiangjiang River, and you can go to Lingnan by crossing the Ling Canal in front.

The Ling Canal, which connects the two major water systems of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, is the main road for north-south transportation.

At this moment, Liang Chu sat in the cabin and said to Zhang Bo and Shi Bao with a smile: "In the past, I didn't have the opportunity to see this Dongting scenery in the diving mansion, right?" ”

Like Luo An and Lu Song, Zhang Bo and Shi Bao, who followed Zhu Houxi from the Xing Palace, were originally the deputy guards of the palace, and now they all have the official position of commanding the affairs of the Jinyi Guard because of their dragon skills.

Positive four products, two.

Sending a Zhishi cabinet minister back to his hometown, can he use two such high-quality brocade clothes and guards?

Zhang Bo asked respectfully: "Liang Gong, can't you say that you have been sent by Shi Bao when you get here?" ”

Liang Chu let out a long sigh, looked at these two former ministers of the Qiandi who wanted to make meritorious contributions, and moved his gaze to the Dongting Wave: "Your Majesty has a lot of money, you ask me, I don't know." I'm afraid that when you arrive in Guangzhou Mansion, you will be sent by your own envoys. ”

Zhang Bo Shibao was thoughtful, and then asked, "Don't you need to hurry?" ”

"Don't be tired, just walk slowly." Liang Chu remembered the idle medal he got again, and said slowly, "Don't worry, don't worry." ”

said that he owed the two of them: "Although there are not many people in Beijing who are familiar with their appearance and official positions, they will definitely be noticed by those who have a heart." This journey can not be called peace of mind. The old man's safety is a small matter, and His Majesty's worries are serious, so I have to ask the two of you to be more vigilant. ”

Zhang Bo and Shi Bao changed color slightly.

Liang Chu looked to the north: "I'm afraid that the chief of the imperial study has been decided, and my old friends will eventually think that this matter is extraordinary." The second half of the journey is not easy to walk. ”

How can you know where the catastrophe started?

"Who is so daring?" Shi Bao couldn't help but ask.

But Liang Chu can only be a riddler first: "Water bandits and bandits, they will naturally be bold." But don't worry, the two commanders, I've been delaying in the capital for so long, and the servants in the family should have already crossed the Lingqu to come to meet. ”

For the first time, Zhang Bo Shibao sincerely recognized this loser who had become a leader in the court struggle.

Which one can be simple to achieve the position of a minister?

At this moment, the military emergency report from Dongguan County has been quickly relayed.

Half a day later, the Guangzhou Prefecture sent another urgent report to the north, and at the same time, the brigade went straight to Dongguan Haiphong Road in a murderous manner, and another fast horse went straight to Wuzhou.

After the eunuchs of Liangguang, the governor of Liangguang and the chief military officer of the general town of Wuzhou learned the news, they also rushed to the capital in a panic, and at the same time, the three giants of Guangzhou and Guangzhou all rushed to Guangzhou Mansion together.

Before they arrived, a ship slowly reached the mouth of the Pearl River, which was as usual on the surface.

"So, you must follow the cumbersome etiquette you said before you can get the emperor's consent through this department called the Ministry of Rites and get the qualification to trade?" Pillay frowned, "By the new emperor's side, isn't there a nobleman like Lord Jiang who can make this matter faster?" I am His Majesty's envoy! ”

“…… Your Excellency the Baron, not a trading qualification, is a tributary. Also, now I can't call Master Jiang anymore, he has been sentenced for his crimes......"

"I remember you saying that after we left Guangzhou, a new nobleman came here, what is it called?"

"Funing Hou." His interpreter sighed, "But Your Excellency, if you want to continue to find the trusted people of Your Majesty and the Imperial Court in Guangzhou, then there are also the Governors of Liangguang, the Governors of Liangguang, the Governors of Guangdong, and the Political Envoys of Guangdong......"

Piledham listened attentively to this information, and then said: "After landing, you go to Tuen Mun Island first and tell General Andrade that I have returned." ”

As soon as their ship approached the dock, they saw Pileth and the others on the deck, and suddenly a gong whistle sounded.

"Someone! Come! Found out that Chin has committed a crime! Hurry up and tell the inspector and the lord, brothers, a great achievement, quickly surround it! ”

Pilez didn't realize it was aimed at them at first, and he didn't understand the hurried shouts mixed with accents.

But then, rockets and sentinel boats surrounded their "envoy" civilian boat, and the inspection officers with all kinds of shoddy cold weapons in their hands rushed over in fear and excitement.

"I am the envoy of the great King Manuel I of Portugal, what are you rude barbarians going to do? I want to see your diplomats! ”

"The red-haired ghost who eats people!"

A whistle stick slammed into his stomach, and Pileth almost threw up.

"Folks, I've caught a few red-haired ghosts, this is the head of the red-haired ghosts, and His Majesty's holy decree will arrest the prisoners, make way for them...... Ay! Which son of a bitch threw it on me? ”

Gravel and rotten leaves flew for a moment, and Pillay looked angrily at the Oriental barbarians who were also gritting their teeth and throwing debris at them.

Only then did he realize that in the past, he could often see the docks of Canton City, where he could often see aliens, but now he did not see his kindred, not even the barbarians on the other side of the Spice Islands.

What's going on?

Soon he didn't have time to think about it anymore, because gravel is lethal.

"Don't lose it! Damn it! The officials of the Inspection Department roared angrily with their heads and faces, "This is a prisoner!" How can you be escorted to Beijing if you are killed? Get out of the way, Lao Tzu is beating someone! ”

The whistle stick smashed the shoulders and arms of the people in front of them majestically, and they went to the yamen of the inspection department with great merit in high spirits.

Strangely, the inspector was not sitting in the hall.

After asking, the people went to the governor's yamen.

"Lord Governor, Lord Zhentai, the lower officials can't be suppressed!" Xiong Fang, the inspector of the Guangzhou Prefecture Inspection Department, looked anxious, "Dongguan County Diao people are powerful, so they can't be arrested and imprisoned, right?" What will happen if a popular uprising is provoked? ”

"Is it to deal with Wang Hong's own imperial court, the defeat of Tuen Mun is a fact, and the court will pay compensation to the fallen soldiers, what should you do? Can't make it clear to those Diao people? According to Guangdong, the prince said with a calm face, "Don't report this little thing, deal with it yourself!" ”

After Xiong Fang was driven away, the remaining bigwigs continued to deliberate with a heavy heart.

"After the ambassador left Nanjing, I don't know whether to take the land route or the land and water, and the passes must be told again! More manpower will also be dispatched to inspect the Haiphong Road. Now it has been replaced by Zhang Zhen, the governor of Liangguang, who reprimanded the prince and said, "There are not enough sentinel ships, and this governor will adjust." Wang Hong's subordinates, you must play and press well! ”

Fu Lun, the eunuch of Liangguang in the general town, suddenly spoke: "A few days ago, under the command of the prison army who supervised the Tengxia in Guangxi, two hundred households and four Jinyi Weiqi schools went to Guangdong on business. ”

When these words came out, Zhang Zhen, Wang Ziyan, and Tang Muyan, the political envoy of Guangdong Zuobu, fell silent.

"A little Franc is small, and Wang Hong's crime of underestimating the enemy is unforgivable." The prince said in a cold voice, "The subordinate officials should reorganize the officers and soldiers, and the commanders will be recruited." However, there was a lot of damage to the warships, and the troops in Guangxi could not be adjusted, so the warships should be built quickly, the army should go to the battle, and the food and salary should be complete. This is the first will of His Majesty's direct dispatch of the two Guangzhous, Wang Hong misled the country, and we can no longer worry about the monarch! ”

Tang Muyan nodded solemnly: "It should be like this." ”

"Lord Zhantai, Lord Zhantai!"

Xiong Fang, who had just been driven away, came in again, and the prince was about to get angry, only to see him overjoyed and said: "That Franc machine bandit leader, what ambassador has caught!" ”

Everyone in the room showed joy on their faces: "Where is it?" ”

Although the war was lost, at least it was not without success.

"Immediately go up to the sparse, just say that it is to search the city of Zhou! Tortured and tortured, forcing the camp on Tuen Mun Island to question the reality of the camp! ”

The guilty plea for the defeat in Tuen Mun has already gone up, and besides, it can't be said to be captured in battle, isn't that Wang Hong's work?

In the next battle, it's time to win a big game!

Today's 12,700 words, 10,000 + 1 per day, the alliance leader owes more -1 = 10, the first 10,000 owes more = 10, ask for votes!
