Chapter 273: Mountain Rain is Coming
What did Wang Qi do when he went back to Zhucheng?
Everyone wants to know.
The fans of the East Factory, the secret whistles of the Jinyi Guard, the dark songs of the adults, and all kinds of characters in the rivers and lakes far away from the temple all want to know what Wang Qi wants to do?
Is it really as Qi Guogong himself said: stay away from the hustle and bustle of the temple and enjoy the long distance of the rivers and lakes?
It's okay to fool the people with these words, but they fell into the ears of Zuo Guangdou and others.
Just kidding, don't say that Qi Guogong, who is just twenty years old, even if Ye Xianggao is already in the age of sixties, he is still in a position of power, and he is reluctant to leave according to the high position of the court, otherwise he would not have cut off relations with Yang Lian, Han Yi and others at such a young age for the sake of the high position of the first assistant, and stood on Wang Qi's side.
At the level of Wang Qi, every word he says and everything he does has its inner meaning, or far-reaching foreshadowing.
Murder in Xuzhou Mansion?
That is, the incident happened suddenly and caused people to be shocked.
At present, except for killing a few errand officers and a Nanjing director, there is no too transgressive behavior - at least you Yang Lian is not dead, is it?
You are not dead, how can you say that Wang Qi rebelled?
Moreover, after this incident, except for the officials and scholars in Nanjing City who showed some anger, few people in Zhejiang and Jiangxi jumped out to avenge those dead people.
Not to mention the city of Beijing, except for a few letters that do not hurt or itch to impeach Wang Qi for killing and domineering, there is no storm.
The cabinet ministers were like deaf and dumb people, and there was no reaction.
In the palace, except for all the notebooks left behind, there was no reaction to such an absurd behavior of the Duke of Qi.
Of course, the will of the four young people to be transferred to the central government still attracted the attention of people with a heart: Sun Chuanting, Yang Changsi, Shi Kefa, Hong Chengchou, and four young civil officials, as if making the stagnant lake ripple in a circle.
The other three, the people of the capital may not be familiar with them, but who is Shi Kefa?
That's a student of the famous Zuo Guangdou!
The political implication behind this will is already obvious, and it depends on when it can stir up the muddy waters of the court.
"You said, when will the Duke of Qi return to Beijing?"
Chongbeifang, the capital, is mostly tea stalls and taverns, and there are people at the bottom who are running for life.
"I don't know when Duke Qi will return to Beijing, but something has happened in Liaodong." In a tavern, two men in cotton and linen rough jackets sipped turbid wine and talked about the recent rumors in the capital.
"You mean, the Jurchens and the Wa Kingdom have united?" The short and fat man put down the wine glass when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Do you know the inside story? ”
The man with horizontal eyebrows took a sip of wine lightly, smiled, first glanced around, made sure that no one was paying attention, and then spoke in a low voice: "Lu Xiangsheng, the deputy general of Liaodong, went deep into the lone army and captured the Houjin old nest Hetuala, but because of this, the back road was cut off, and he fell into the trap of the Jurchens, and was surrounded by the Japanese army.
"Hey, no wonder there have been more and more horses going north recently," the short and fat man frowned and thought for a while before he said, "How can the Duke of Qi be able to leave Liao, and there is such a defeat!" ”
"Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao and others can be said to be talented generals who have risen in the imperial court in recent years, but compared to Qi Guogong, it is much inferior," the man with horizontal eyebrows tugged at the corners of his mouth, full of sneers.
"Then why haven't you heard the wind lately?" The short and fat man picked up the flask and poured a full drink for the man with horizontal eyebrows: "Rumors about the punishment of General Lu." ”
"Punish Lu Xiangsheng?" The man with horizontal eyebrows seemed to have heard some big joke, and raised his head and laughed a few times before saying:
"You think Lu Xiangsheng is one of those cats and dogs of Xu Liangyan in Xuzhou Mansion? Kill if you say kill, and punish if you say you punish? Who is Lu Xiang after his ascension, when he is the prince of the dynasty, the state of Shangzhu, the governor of the five armies, the leader of the president of Jingying, and the prince of Qi who walks in the cabinet! Who is behind Xu Liangyan? A few frustrated officialdom in Nanjing City who wrote, taught, and debated scriptures on the lake. ”
"It's far from being comparable, even if there is no face of Qi Guogong and Qin Erbao, the general soldier of Liaodong, the imperial court can't help but give it," the man with horizontal eyebrows raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup, and then arched his hand: "A certain person left first, there are more and more Mongolians going south in the past few days, and there is a lot of business in the store, let's talk next time!" ”
"Okay, let's talk again, talk again," the short and fat man got up and sent the man with horizontal eyebrows away, and then sat back in his chair, silently thinking: "The Duke of Qi is still powerful, even if it is the emperor, he must be afraid of three points, not to mention those pedantic literati, if King Gao wants to succeed, this Duke of Qi must be the biggest obstacle. He must not be allowed to return to Beijing! ”
Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai and others recently contacted people from all over the world in the Huguang area to plan for a major event, and the short and fat man is named Sha Ming, and this tavern is a contact point for Gao Yingxiang in the capital, to inquire about various news and collect and sell goods.
When he was thinking about it, there was a sudden commotion on the street outside the door, Sha Ming turned his head to look, only to see a few Mongolian men arguing and arguing with Han traders, the language barrier and emotional anger, a few words down and then moved, not long, onlookers, waiting for a team of messengers to arrive, can be able to control the chaotic scene.
Most of these Mongols went south to do business, since the Duke of Qi connected the trade routes between the Ming Dynasty and Horqin, more and more Mongols went south, and a large number of Han people went north, and the exchanges between them have been quite frequent.
In the process, a large number of disputes between Han Chinese and Mongols also broke out.
Recently, the imperial court has set up Tongyi yamen in various places to deal with this kind of foreign affairs.
And some people in the temple also took advantage of this incident to write an article to attack Wang Qi, blaming the dispute between the Mongols and the Han people on Wang Qi's trade policy, which made more and more Mongols go south, and the Han people also move north in large numbers: the people do not think of their homeland and go north one after another, which is a sign of great chaos!
Although this kind of music was immediately rejected and criticized by the cabinet, and the officials were transferred out of the capital, this kind of statement was widely circulated, and many low-level people also knew about it.
"Why does everything in the Ming Dynasty seem to be related to the Duke of Qi? Every movement of the big man seemed to make this empire tremble," Sha Ming frowned and looked at the chaotic scene on the street: "However, let's mess up, the more chaotic it is, the better it is for us." Now that there is an accident in Liaodong, Wang Qi is likely to be urgently recalled by the imperial court for discussion. This is our chance! ”
Drinking the last drop of wine in the wine jug, Sha Ming slowly got up, and his stubby fingers rubbed on the wine table: The mountains and Shaanxi gather righteousness, the lake echoes, and the mountain rain is coming!
