Chapter 348 The Four Great Envoys

In another tent, Yang Ming and Wei Zhen sat opposite each other around the fire.

Wei Zhen's level is very high, and he is the fourth grade.

Menxia Province is one of the three provinces, and the power is very large, and during the Yang Jian period, many central elders concurrently served as Menxia Province's Nayan, and Nayan can give advice to the emperor.

Obviously, Yang Guang doesn't like other people's opinions, so there are only two people at the moment, Su Wei and Pei Ju.

After the restructuring of Menxia Province, the original two consuls in charge of the Huangmen Shilang removed the word "give things" and changed it to the Huangmen Shilang, and now it is Yang Da and Wei Zhen.

There are also 4 people below for the Shilang, 4 people for the free riders, 4 for the straight and scattered riders, and 7 for the doctors, all of whom are counselors.

But at the beginning of Yang Guang's ascension to the throne, he said: I don't like people's advice, and if I want to be obvious and ask for fame, I can't bear it.

Therefore, the right of counsel of the subordinate province was deprived.

Wei Zhen's father, Wei Shi, that is Yang Guang's confidant and close minister, is also the old man of the Jin Palace, it can be seen from this point that Jingzhao Wei has already bet on the crown prince Yang Yong and the Jin king Yang Guang respectively during the Yang Jian period.

The contradiction between Wei Shikang and Wei Shi is also the dispute between the princelings and the Jin Wang Party, the two seem to be fighting fiercely, but in fact, they are very superficial.

"Your Highness hasn't seen that Guanfeng Xing Palace, it can be called a ghostly workmanship, and Yuwen Shangshu is really a great talent of the country," Wei Zhen took the tea handed by Yang Ming with both hands and said with a smile.

Guanfeng Xing Palace, that is, the palace of walking, Yu Wenkai has already made it, so it means that Yang Guang's northern tour is about to be put on the agenda.

"I have also received some news," Yang Ming frowned and said: "All military governments are reorganizing their armies, how many people will Your Majesty bring with you this time to the north?" ”

Wei Zhen stretched out a palm and shook it, saying, "Five hundred thousand." ”

The corners of Yang Ming's mouth twitched.......

Wei Zhen continued: "An army of 500,000, 100,000 war horses, divided into twenty-four armies, 3,000 monks, nuns, Taoist priests, and female crowns, and 1,600 carriages.......

After a while, Yang Ming said expressionlessly: "Shanxi has transferred 150,000, Henan 100,000, and Guanzhong 250,000, and the Beijing division is completely empty?" ”

"Yes," Wei Zhen smiled embarrassedly and said: "His Royal Highness is not here, and no one dares to give an opinion, originally everyone was still looking forward to Gao Gong being able to top it, who knew that Gao Gong didn't say a word, his old man didn't speak, and no one dared to speak." ”

500,000, there are only 600,000 people in Daxing City, and Yang Guang's northern tour almost took away a Daxing?

It's also unique in history, no wonder I was asked to host the spring outing, this is deliberately taking away me? I'm afraid I'll take the lead in opposing it.

As Wei Zhen said, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are waiting for a leader, but there is none.

In the past half a month, Yang Ming has not participated in the court meeting, although he knows many things here, but after all, it is not detailed, so he asked again:

"How's the canal going?"

Wei Zhen said: "Wei Fusi and Wei Yijie of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I heard that they both went to Hebei, and the King of Qi is now presiding over the project of diverting Qin water into the Yellow River in Luoyang, and Yan Bi took the people of Taifu Temple to Zhuo County directly. ”

"What do you mean by these two people, one south and one north?" Yang Ming asked.

Wei Zhen shook her head helplessly and said, "Who knows?" Yan Bi is the chief eunuch of construction, but he is not in Luoyang, but went to Zhuo County, but the king of Qi is in charge of the canal affairs, and the ministers also said this at the court meeting, but His Majesty's attitude is very ambiguous, and he has discussed and discussed, and there is no result. ”

Yang Ming felt that it was a little bad, his father asked Yang Jian to be the pastor of Yuzhou, just to ask him to watch the matter of the canal, this was just the beginning, Yan Bi had already picked a child, and something must have happened.

"What has Yu Wenshu been doing lately?" Yang Ming asked.

When it comes to Yuwenshu, Wei Zhen doesn't have a good face, half of it is for Yang Ming to make a gesture, and half because he really can't get used to Yuwenshu.

I saw him dissatisfied: "Here in Menxia Province, the accusations against Yuwenshu from the local government have not stopped, almost every day, from the Taishou to the county order, they are all complaining, Hebei is the most, just one Hejian County, I heard that 80,000 people will be transferred, and Yang Wanshi's performance is very unceremonious, and Yuwenshu has been called a national thief." ”

Hejian County is the second largest county in Hebei, the thirteenth county of Tongxian, and the county guard Yang Wanshi is the son of Yang Su and the younger brother of Yang Xuangan.

In public and private, Yang Wanshi will not be polite to Yuwen.

"And then, what did Your Majesty say?" Yang Ming asked.

Wei Zhen sighed: "These twists and turns have been suppressed by His Majesty, and there is no court meeting at all, and only our subordinates know about it, and His Highness knows it, don't spread it." ”

He is a name for himself, telling Yang Ming some things that he shouldn't have known, so as to gain Yang Ming's trust and favor.

Yang Ming nodded, it seems that the father is determined to let Yu Wenshu and the second child take the blame this time.

"Cui Hongjun has taken office? How many people will be transferred from Xindu County? Yang Ming asked.

Cui Hongjun is not only a letter to be too shou, but also the long history of Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, how old Yang Gao is, and there is no need for a long history at the moment, so Cui Hongjun is to put up a name first.

Wei Zhen said: "Seventy thousand people, but Cui Hongjun didn't complain, I think it's because of King Qi's face." ”

"One eighty thousand, one seventy thousand, how can they have so many people?" Yang Ming asked.

Wei Zhen said helplessly: "Among them are women. ”

All the women were recruited........

Yang Ming took a deep breath, it seems that Hebei is in chaos, it is just around the corner, Guanzhong, Shanxi, Henan, because the emperor is transferred to the north, the troops are almost empty, once Hebei is in turmoil, what will be suppressed?

By Shandong? Shandong doesn't follow suit, so thank God.

Yang Ming suddenly realized that a great crisis was likely to come.

The civil unrest is different from Yang Liang's rebellion at the beginning, one is the common people going into battle, the other is the military guard, once the former rises, it will be a prairie fire.

Since ancient times, Yan Zhao has many strong men, Hebei people are anti, it is not a joke, China has a history of thousands of years, and the people in this place are a group of fierce people.

Seeing that Yang Ming was silent and couldn't see Wei Zhen, who was in a critical situation, asked tentatively:

"Six days later, come and pick up the little girl again?"

Yang Ming frowned slightly, but still didn't speak.

Once there is chaos in Hebei, Yang Ming will definitely need to come forward to quell the rebellion, the second child has offended the people of Hebei very much, he quells the rebellion, and people will only play with him.

But where do the soldiers come from? There is only one way to recruit, recruitment costs money, and Yang Ming can't easily move the money of the treasury, because the treasury is running out of money.

At this time, Jingzhao Webster must be wooed, because people are rich and have people.

"Let's talk about it when she recovers," Yang Ming said.

Wei Zhen was instantly overjoyed, he was a smart person, some words didn't need Yang Ming to understand, he could understand the meaning.

Then from now on, Jingzhao West Volume House can rest assured and boldly move closer to the direction of King Qin.

That night, Yang Ming went back to Jingshi, he walked in the Chunming Gate late at night, and the guards here were all Li Jing's people, and no one would reveal his whereabouts.

After entering the city, he went directly to the mansion of Gao Gong.

Gao Gong did not sleep, but was alone in the study, lighting the lamp and looking at a map of Hebei.

He also realized that something was going to go wrong.

After Yang Ming came in, Gao Gong didn't say a word of nonsense, and said directly:

"Yan Bi should have sensed that the situation was not good, so he ran to Zhuo County, he and Yang Jun must have had a very unpleasant quarrel, Zhuo County is an important town in the border area, there are eleven military mansions in the Youzhou Governor's Mansion back then, with 12,000 permanent soldiers, north of the Turks, once there is something in Hebei, he can join Zhuo County Taishou Yuan Hongsi to support the army to protect himself, as long as the Saiwai Wang Shi comes in time, he will not have any problems, this person is too shrewd."

Zhuo County, which was the former Youzhou, was governed in Jixian County, which was later known as Jizhou District of Tianjin.

After Yang Ming sat down, he nodded and said, "This person's reaction is indeed fast enough, what happened to him and Yang Ming?" ”

"The struggle for power, disagreement," Gao Gong said: "Yan Bi is an expert after all, he will do the things of the canal, it is not a big problem, but I am afraid that a layman will frequently intervene, and the two must have broken up, just like King Qi and Yu Wenkai at the beginning, now Yan Bi has run to Zhuo County, it is really hard to say anything about him, after all, Zhuo County is the northern terminus of the canal." ”

Then, Yang Ming told Gao Cheng about the complaint he heard from Wei Zhen.

After hearing this, Gao Gong smiled bitterly:

"Everyone is thinking about themselves, everyone knows that if they do this, there will definitely be civil unrest in the locality, those magistrates in Hebei are worried about this, they are in the center of the whirlpool, it is impossible not to be afraid, the civil unrest is together, they are the first to suffer, whether they can live or not is not certain."

Then, Gao Gong continued: "Yang Jun and Yu Wenshu should also be aware of this, and now they have asked Zhao County to guard Yu Juluo, Qi County to guard Zhang Xutuo, Shangdang County to guard Lu Yongji, and let Yu Wenhua and Ren Dong County guard to hold the festival, just in case. ”

The envoy is the one who holds the festival, and the local military power is the highest, and has the power to kill officials.

Zhao County is Handan, in the west of Xindu County, Qi County is Jinan, close to Qinghe County of Hebei, East County is Anyang, Henan, and north of Ji County of Hebei (Weihui City, Henan), which belongs to Jizhou in Dasui.

Shangdang County, which is Changzhi, Shanxi, and Xiangguo County and Wu'an County of Hebei to the east, Taishou Lu Yongji is Yang Jian's cousin, and Yang Jian's mother Lu Kutao is Lu Yongji's aunt.

The four counties in the east, west and south were stationed to surround Hebei, and in the north, there were Zhuo counties and Wang Shi who came from the Turks to support, and the whole of Hebei was surrounded.

Not only do I have to dig a canal with you, but I also have to prevent you from rebelling, what is this special thing? Hebei is also poured blood mold.

Yang Ming said helplessly: "I'm afraid that these few people will not be useful." ”

"The main thing is that there are no soldiers," Gao Gong said: "People have been sent to dig canals, and these envoys can only rely on local forcible recruitment, for fear that in this case, their jurisdiction will also have problems, so they have to rely on Guanzhong, only the relevant middle family, can come up with enough soldiers." ”

Yang Ming deeply agreed, nodded and said: "Now we have to be ready, if Guanzhong can't even recruit 350,000 people by then, the chaos in Hebei will be a big deal." ”
