Fuzhou Sanwei is actually not a "mutiny" reported by Wu Fu, but just an ordinary trouble.

Sanwei's request is not excessive. We were owed half a year for our military salaries, and we endured it. But the military rations should always be replenished, and we can't go hungry to prepare for the Japanese, right?

You Jingwu did two things.

The first thing was to order the Fujian Guards to forcibly enter the Fujian warehouse. Later, without the consent of the civil official, he opened a warehouse and released grain to Sanwei.

Fuzhou Sanwei got food, so naturally he stopped making trouble. They returned to their respective stations and continued to train and prepare for the Japanese.

The second thing is that You Jingwu wrote the truth about the "mutiny" in Fujian as a statement of feelings, and sent it to the imperial court in an eight-hundred-mile hurry.

At the same time, Wang Miaoxin rushed to Fujian non-stop, and as the envoy of Jinyi Weinan Town, he arrested Wu Fu, Zhishi officials Lin Tingyu and Gao Wenda, who were to be appointed governors of Shandong. Quickly escorted back to Beijing.

Two months later, the capital, Beizhen Fusi was imprisoned.

It was late spring, and the leaves of the soul-attracting plane tree at the gate of the edict had become lush and lush.

Today's weather is good, and Changfeng is in a good mood. He stretched out at the gate of the prison.

Qian Ning and Jiang Bin walked over and saluted Chang Feng: "Master Hou." ”

Chang Feng smiled: "Excuse me." Wu Fu, Lin Tingyu, and Gao Wendana are locked up in the edict of your Beisi. When I go in and interrogate them, I naturally want to say hello to you. ”

Qian Ning hurriedly said: "The affairs of Fujian are the responsibility of the Nanzhen Fusi. Although Hou Ye interrogated them, it was enough. We, the North Division, will never interfere. ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Cheng." Then go get busy. I'm in prison. ”

At this moment, Yang Ting and Sanbu walked over in two steps.

Chang Feng smiled: "Why did Yang Shoufu come to our Jinyiwei?" You're a rarity! ”

Yang Tinghe asked, "Brother Chang, can you take a step to speak?" ”

After all, it was a life-and-death friend who fought side by side thirty years ago. This bit of face is still to be given to Yang Tinghe.

Chang Feng nodded: "Cheng." Go to my room. ”

The two entered the duty room, and Chang Feng took the initiative to pour tea for Yang Tinghe: "You have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." Say, what's the matter? ”

Yang Tinghe got straight to the point: "I know, you have to check whether Wu Fu, Lin Tingyu, and Gao Wenda have a backstage." ”

"I tell you clearly, they have a backstage, and they're in the backstage. You can meet you every morning. ”

"But I come to you today. Look no further. ”

This time, Jin Yiwei arrested a governor without asking for an order. Jin Yiwei has already run out of the limelight. ”

"You Jingwu was in Fujian, and ordered the guards to forcibly take over the warehouse. Fujian civil officials dare to be angry but dare not speak. Your Chang family has been out of the limelight. ”

"Be forgiving, forgiving!"

Chang Feng sneered: "Heh, you have to be forgiving and forgiving? Do you want to say the following two sentences, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky? ”

"I have been an official for more than 30 years, and I have an experience. Endure for a while, step back, inch in! ”

"Wu Fu and they made this 'mutiny' farce in Fujian, which is not only aimed at Jingwu, but also against the Chang family, and even more against Xungui!"

"I endured it this time, and the next time the civil officials don't know what kind of conspiracy they will come up with, causing my Chang family to die!"

"Let me tell you, I will kill Wu Fu, Lin Tingyu and Gao Wenda. I'm going to kill their backstage too! ”

Yang Tinghe was surprised: "Chang Feng, you have changed!" When the maritime case was first filed, you could calm things down for the sake of the stability of the court. If your wife is framed to kill someone in the street, you can also settle the matter for the sake of the overall situation. ”

"You were not yet forty years old, and you had an admirable sense of the big picture. Why is it that now that I am in my fifties, I have become as happy as a stunned young man? ”

Chang Feng said: "Go to the stability of the mother's drama, focus on the overall situation of the mother, and go to the overall situation of the mother!" So far, I've figured it out. ”

"Even if you put up with it for the sake of the overall situation, what can you do? If the big picture is bad, it will be bad! Why don't the civil servants under your command think about the overall situation? At every turn, I will use open guns and hidden arrows against my Chang family. ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Ming told you." In the affairs of Fujian, there were people in the cabinet who instructed them, and there were also people in the six books of Shangshu. ”

Chang Feng smiled: "I won't say who is in the cabinet." After all, I'm a cabinet member, and I don't want to tear my face. As for the Shangshu you mentioned, it's Shi Jue from the household department, right? ”

Yang Tinghe's color changed: "You haven't interrogated Wu Fu yet, how do you know?" ”

Chang Feng sneered: "Jin Yiwei knows a lot of things!" Okay, my brother Yang, don't you just want to protect the people behind the Wu Fu? ”

"I'll give you the conditions directly! You promised me the conditions, I will only kill Wu, Lin, and Gao. Don't look backstage! ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Brother Chang, please speak." ”

Chang Feng said: "Hubu Shangshu Shi Jue is almost seventy years old. Old age and deafness. This time, he secretly supported Wu Fu to frame my Chang family in Fu Jiantao, and he had to pay the price! ”

"I'll give him a golden staircase to walk on. Let him hand over a note to the old man. ”

Yang Tinghe was surprised: "Didn't you say that you don't want to investigate the backstage?" ”

Chang Feng said coldly: "I don't investigate what I said, I just don't kill!" I'll say it again, let Shi Jue always give him a golden step to walk! ”

Yang Tinghe thought for a long time: "Okay, I promise you." ”

Chang Feng waved his hand: "Slowly." I'm not done yet! After Shi Jue told the old man, the cabinet should not recommend candidates to fill the lack of books in the household department. Let the post of the head of the household department be vacant! ”

"In addition, the cabinet will transfer Yang Tan, the left servant of the household department, to the southwest to inspect Bashu and Yunnan money and grain."

How smart is Yang Tinghe? Immediately understood Chang Feng's intentions: "The book of the household department is vacant, and Zuo Shilang has been sent to the southwest again." Isn't that household department the head of the right servant Chang Po slave? ”

"Chang Feng, why did you become so greedy for power now? Such an appetite. With one mouth, the Chang family will control the financial power of the imperial court! ”

Chang Feng smiled contemptuously: "No matter how greedy I am, can I have the group of civil officials under you who are greedy for power?" ”

"I've figured it out over the years. Power is the safest only when you grasp it in your own hands! In the imperial court, once it comes to the struggle for power, there is no courtesy! ”

"Oh yes, I went to the leopard room a while ago and talked to the fire man Yasan for a long time about overseas anecdotes."

"He told me that in the place where the bones were bound, there was a king named Kereku, who said a wise saying." (Note: When Zheng He sailed to the West and docked at the coast of East Africa, he referred to Africa as 'the capital of wood and bones'.) ）

This wise saying is very reasonable. I want you to tell Shi Jie, and the one in the cabinet surnamed Jiang! ”

Yang Tinghe asked: "What is the wise saying?" ”

Chang Feng said loudly: "If you don't leave power, power will leave you!" ”

Yang Tinghe was stunned.

Chang Feng said: "Let's not talk nonsense. Shi Jue didn't go to the southwest, Yang Tan didn't go to the southwest, and I immediately interrogated Wu, Lin, and Gao. You know the means of our brocade guards. ”

"As long as I want, I can make Shi Jue and the one in the cabinet die without a place to bury!"

Yang Tinghe gritted his teeth: "Okay, Chang Feng." I promise you. You're becoming more and more like a person these days. ”

Chang Feng smiled: "You mean Liu Jin? ”

Yang Tinghe sighed: "Alas, Chang Feng, you can do it yourself." ”

After speaking, Yang Tinghe turned around to leave.

Chang Feng stopped him: "Wait! We're not done talking about the conditions yet! ”

Yang Tinghe turned around: "Didn't I promise to let Shi Jue tell the old man and Yang Tan to go to the southwest?" ”

Chang Feng said: "That's just the first condition!" I have a second condition! ”

Yang Tinghe stared at Chang Feng, although he saw each other every morning, he felt that Chang Feng was very strange at this moment.

Yang Tinghe said: "Say, what is the second condition?" ”

Chang Feng replied: "The second condition is that the governors of the provinces should cooperate with the commanders and eunuchs sent by the emperor to hand over the military power honestly." ”

Yang Tinghe glared at Chang Feng angrily: "Chang Feng, you deceive people too much!" ”

Chang Feng said: "Why, the emperor wanted to collect the military power." Aren't you, Mr. Yang, in favor of it? ”

"If it weren't for your approval, how could you be your first assistant?"

Yang Tinghe sighed: "Alas, Chang Feng, I can promise you the second condition. ”

"But I'll warn you. You are a powerful minister, and the power of a powerful minister often comes from the emperor. ”

"It is said that long live the emperor. But looking at the history books, how can there be a real long-lived king? ”

"The emperor, like ordinary people, will die. But the civilian power will be endless! ”

"One more disrespectful word. Aren't you afraid that after a hundred years today, the Chang family will never recover? ”

Chang Feng said with a smile: "Yu Qian and Yu Shaobao are your role models for civil officials. I answer you with two lines of his poem! ”

"Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world!"

Yang Tinghe said: "That's it! Our pair of friends of life and death can be regarded as tearing their faces from today. ”

"Since I have torn my face, I will talk to you about the conditions regardless of the old feelings!"

"Lin Tingyu, Gao Wenda, you can kill. You can't kill. ”

Chang Feng said: "I don't want to kill Wu Fu." But don't think about it and swagger to Shandong to continue to be the governor like no one! The edict is the place where he lives for the rest of his life! ”

"That's my biggest concession."

Yang Tinghe thought for a long time: "That's it! Just do what you say! ”

The civilian-bureaucratic clique wanted to reverse its disadvantage and staged a "mutiny" in Fujian in order to compete for military power.

Who would have thought that the thirteenth year of Zhengde was not the first year of Zhengde. The power of civil officials could not compete with the imperial power.

And the Chang family, which is highly praised by Zhengde Di, represents the imperial power!

This time, the civil officials can be said to have stolen chickens and rice, and they lost their wives and soldiers. Not to mention the military power, Chang Feng also grabbed the financial power of the household department and handed it over to his son.

In fact, this defeat of the civil officials was doomed as early as the great victory in Yingzhou and the peak of Emperor Zhengde's prestige in the army.

The founding of the Ming Dynasty has been more than 150 years and has gone through ten emperors. There are only four emperors who can really suppress the civilian power in an all-round way. Taizu, Taizong, Xianzong, plus a Zhengde Emperor.

Two days later, on a spring night. Today is Chang Tian's birthday.

The family gathered at the Wanping County Lord's Mansion.

Chang Tian is delicious. His husband was also in charge of the cook's yamen in Guanglu Temple. Tonight's birthday banquet is naturally a delicacy of sea and land.

Chang Feng sighed: "In the blink of an eye, my little sugar candy is also forty years old." ”

Chang Tian said: "Yes, it's really a blink of an eye." ”

Chang Feng has changed from a general banner at the bottom of the brocade guard to the current Chang Hou Ye who is now in power, how can it not be a blink of an eye?

The family had a good time, eating and drinking.

Chang Ponu suddenly spoke: "Dad, I encountered a strange thing during the day. ”

Chang Feng asked quietly, "Oh? What's up? ”

Chang Ponu replied: "Our Shibutang handed over the old man's note. Yang Zuotang was sent by the cabinet to the southwest to inspect the money and grain. Within a day, I was the only one left in the household department. ”

"Yang Shoufu summoned me to the cabinet to be on duty, saying that I would be fully responsible for the affairs of the household department in the future."

"Dad, are you playing any tricks here?"

Chang Feng said: "What tricks can Dad play?" It's just a coincidence. Since the court trusts you, you should do your duty and do a good job. Don't live up to the emperor's grace to our Chang family. ”

Chang Qingyun was always young and unabashed: "No, grandfather, don't you often say that there is no coincidence in this matter, only the illusion of coincidence." ”

Chang Feng smiled: "You kid is now a member of the court." You have to learn one thing, listen more, watch more, and talk less. ”

Chang Ponu had actually guessed a few points in his heart. But he saw through it and didn't say anything, and turned his head to teach Chang Qingyun: "Qingyun, you have to remember your grandfather's teachings." Less is better. ”

Chang Qingyun nodded: "Cheng, I remember." ”

Liu Xiaoyan said: "By the way, today I entered Cining Palace to visit the Queen Mother. I happened to meet the emperor and asked the queen mother to say goodbye. ”

The emperor mentioned it in passing, saying that he planned to let me be in charge of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division after a while. Replace all the rice buckets of the Terracotta Division with veterans of the 12th Regiment Battalion. ”

Chang Feng was stunned when he heard this.

Nowadays, inside and outside Gyeonggi, the only soldiers and horses controlled by civilian officials are the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

The soldiers and horses of the five cities are under the jurisdiction of the Imperial History of the Patrol City, and the Imperial History of the Patrol City is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Inspectorate.

When Emperor Zhengde said this, it seems that he wanted to deprive the civil officials of their last bit of military power.

and handed over the division of soldiers and horses to a woman to rule. This is the first time since Wu Zhou!

Chang Feng said: "The emperor plans to set a precedent for appointing female generals!" ”

Huang Yuan interjected: "Big brother, you mean that the emperor has plans to restore the female official system of Wuzhou?" ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Our emperor is a promising monarch. There is nothing he does not dare to do. ”

Let's talk about Yang Tinghe and the back garden of the mansion.

Yang Tinghe was having a fierce dispute with cabinet member Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing said: "Who Chang Feng is, you know better than me." This man is loyal and upright. Even if you are in power? ”

"The people under you set a trap for the Chang family in Fujian. You know in advance, why not block the value? ”

Yang Tinghe said: "My Yang senior. You know, now we are in two camps with Changfeng! ”

"Chang Feng is now the emperor's stand-in in the court! Liu Jin's general character! Can we still make friends with Changfeng as before? ”

Yang Yiqing sighed: "Speaking of which, it still involves the word 'struggle for power'!" The Ming Dynasty has no official or military general, noble or relative, and he should think about how to work together to assist the king to create a prosperous era. ”

"But in the end, why can't you escape the word 'struggle for power'?"

"I've been an official for decades, and I'm really tired of watching! That's it, tomorrow I will also play a sparse and return home! ”

Yang Yiqing is an old fox no less than Chang Feng. He retreated bravely at this time, and it was by no means "tired" as he said.

He had a premonition that there would be a life-and-death struggle between the emperor and the ministers. He didn't want to get involved, so he used an excuse to hide far away. (End of chapter)
