Chapter 351: Dongyang
The battle of Mount Tai started the prestige of the Tianyin Sect, and the large and small sects in the righteous path were panicked for a while.
However, the Tianyin Sect also seems to have invested too much in the battle of Mount Tai, and there is no movement for the time being.
Fan Tianya even took Wei Hui's men and horses, withdrew from Henan, and returned to Fengyun Valley.
People in the rivers and lakes are speculating, which sect will be the next one in the Tianyin Sect?
The rivers and lakes have calmed down! Above the imperial court, at this time, the situation has also begun to be treacherous!
The cause of the imperial court is still the Hetao!
Originally, the Hetao was nominally under the Ming Dynasty and was under the rule of the Heavenly King Sect for twenty years!
Emperor Hongzhi was benevolent and unwilling to use swords, so the Heavenly King faction became bigger and bigger!
Although the princes of the imperial court know the importance of the Hetao, but after 20 years of multiplication, the strength of the Tianwang faction can be described as strong, so although the imperial court is afraid of the Hetao and the Tianwang faction, it is also in vain!
The Great War of Ningxia broke out, and the Heavenly King faction colluded with the Ordos Department to plot to occupy Ningxia!
Up and down the government and the opposition, Gu is angry!
The imperial court is divided into the main battle lord and two factions for a while!
The Lord and the natural saying of the Great Heavenly King are superb, the Heavenly King has sent troops to be strong and strong, and the people of Hetao are fierce, and they can be used as reinforcements, but they cannot be used as enemies!
But the noble military attache is unwilling to be ridden by the Heavenly King faction of the Hetao to on his neck!
In particular, the British Duke and the Cheng Guo Gong! These two princes have made great contributions to the society and have great authority in the military!
They have long wanted to subdue the Hetao, reproduce the majesty of Emperor Taizong, and expand the defense line of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of miles outward!
The former Emperor Hongzhi was reluctant to use the sword soldiers, but in this dynasty, the Hetao Heavenly King faction actually came out of the trap of robbery, these two princes are also regarded as people with a sense of the overall situation, and deeply understand that if left unchecked, this Hetao will eventually become the heart of the Ming Dynasty, and in the future, it will harass the nine sides, and the Ming Dynasty will never have peace.
So the two princes wanted to lead the troops to the expedition and teach the Tianwang faction and the Ordos department of the Hetao a hard lesson.
At this time, Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, came to the forefront, and after communicating with the two princes, he took this arduous errand on his head, and took the troops gathered from all over the country to Ningxia to fight!
The final result is that the government and the opposition are all sideways!
Reigning in the Hetao for 20 years, the Tianwang faction, which had never been defeated by either the Ming Dynasty or the Tatars, was unexpectedly under the garrison of Xu Zilong, a man named Xu Zilong commanded by Xu Guangzuo, and attacked the Hetao alone, and disappeared.
Leaving the land of the Hetao that has been in the Ming Dynasty for decades, you can once again return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty!
Above the government and the opposition, the first thing is extremely excited!
is Emperor Zhengde, and he often says that he has restored the country, and he is proud!
After the excitement, all the factions in the government and the opposition began to think about seizing the fruits of victory in this loop!
The Hetao is located outside the Great Wall, although it is sandwiched between the Ming and Tatars, it seems dangerous!
However, the land of Hetao is fertile, and it can develop into one of the border towns of the Ming Dynasty, which is really important!
First of all, the civil officials, headed by Li Dongyang, played Emperor Zhengde, and asked that the Hetao be brought under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, so that the loneliness would not be left out.
But the noble military attache was strongly opposed!
It's just because Xu Guangzuo listened to Zilong's words, and deeply understood that it was a blessing or a curse for Hetao to return to the jurisdiction of the imperial court at this time, so he tried his best to win the consent of the two princes, and only set up Hetao generals, send garrisons, and cooperate with local tribes to rule Hetao, and defend against Tatars!
However, the eunuch felt that Hetao was a good place to develop his power, and Liu Jin did not have local military power in his hands, and what he wanted most was this local military power, so he even attached himself to the noble military attaché, who was only a candidate for the Hetao general, but nominated Yu Fengyu guerrilla who stuck to the Great Wall.
In the end, under Liu Jin's monstrous power, and with the support of Zhengde and the Queen Mother, Yu Guerrilla really replaced Zilong and became a general of Hetao.
The honorable military attache didn't want to offend Liu Jin to death, so he had no choice but to give up!
Xu Guangzuo has just come out, and he is helpless, so he can only find Wang An to make a plan and eradicate Yu Feng!
As for the civil officials, they can also see it! This Hetao is just a piece of meat and bones, falling to the ground, but it is to provoke other people from all walks of life to rob it, and the civil official power is gradually shrinking with the death of Emperor Hongzhi, so we can only stop here and watch the struggle between the military attaché and the eunuch!
In the end, Yu Feng walked out of the Great Wall, and in less than a hundred miles, he was robbed and killed by sand thieves and buried in the yellow sand!
After the surviving Ming army hurriedly reported the news back to the imperial court, it caused an uproar!
At this time, Liu Jin went to Luoyang for the sake of the rivers and lakes.
Among the eunuchs, Gao Feng and Zhang Yong were the mainstays, but they belonged to the moderates among the eunuchs, but they did not react too violently.
And the honorable military attachés were all excited.
Liu Jin fought against the former Shoufu, and after Liu Jian, the minister of the Four Dynasties, he was in the limelight for a while!
For several years, those who opposed Liu Jin either lost their official positions or lost their lives!
Even a vassal king like King An is still in danger of dying!
For a time, above the government and the opposition, there were rumors and thousands of horses!
At this time, Yu Feng was killed, which was tantamount to drinking Liu Jin in the face!
In addition, Liu Jin was not in the capital at this time, and Gao Feng and Zhang Yong were not ready to do anything about this matter, which made the noble military attache proud, and even had some different thoughts in their hearts.
On this day, after going down to the court, Li Dongyang, as usual, took off his court clothes at home, rested for a while, and then got up and walked out of the mansion and walked towards the nearby teahouse!
Li Dongyang was as famous as Liu Jian and Xie Qian in the Hongzhi Dynasty, and he was also a cabinet scholar, assisting the government and government, and everyone at the time was praised!
Later, Liu Jian was not secret, and was knocked down by Liu Jin, so in desperation, he joined Xie Qian and quit the cabinet!
At this time, in the cabinet, only Li Dongyang remained!
After Jiao Fang, who was inclined to Liu Jin, entered the cabinet, Li Dongyang understood that if he was as strong as Liu Jian, most of them would be swept away, so that the court situation would be completely controlled by Liu Jin!
Therefore, out of self-preservation, Li Dongyang discussed with Jiao Fang in all matters, and although he was the first assistant of the cabinet, he gradually gave up his rights and alleviated Liu Jin's hostility towards him.
After the next dynasty, he also did not collude with friends, just listened to music and wrote, drank tea and played birds, but he was an idler's demeanor!
Liu Jin originally wanted to get rid of this person and completely control the cabinet!
Later, seeing that this person was so knowledgeable and interested, he gave up his plan, and just let this person become that Bodhisattva, and it was just offered!
At this time, Li Dongyang shook into the teahouse he frequented at this time, and went directly to the second floor with a familiar way!
On the second floor, there is a place to tell stories, and the dignitaries and idlers of the capital will come here to listen to the story and drink tea, so it is not pleasant.
Li Dongyang spends sixty percent of his time here on weekdays.
When Liu Jin saw Li Dongyang like this, he became more and more relieved about this person, except for the two fans who were constantly monitoring him, the rest of the people were all withdrawn.
But after all, Li Dongyang is also the first assistant of the dynasty, and the cabinet elder, so his identity must be unusual.
Although he doesn't put up an official shelf on weekdays, when he arrives at this teahouse, he will always find a separate private room, surrounded by screens, and he can hear the voice of storytelling, which is very pleasant!
After entering this private room in the past, Li Dongyang, as in the past, boiled tea for himself, and after slowly brewing the tea, he tasted fragrant tea and leisurely listened to the sound of storytelling outside.
It just so happened that the outside commentary was about the capture and release of Cao, and at this time, the story of the Three Kingdoms was widely circulated among the people, and the people also loved to listen to this paragraph.
Outside, it is said that Cao Cao was set on fire by Zhou Lang and Zhuge from Chibi, and the 800,000 army was stopped by ten and eight, and the rest fled in a hurry.
When the people heard this paragraph, they should all clap their hands and say goodbye, and it would be good to go straight!
Although this Cao Cao was during the Three Kingdoms, he was also considered a martial artist, and it is not an exaggeration to rank first among all the princes in the world.
However, this person has successively dug graves, raised military funds, slaughtered people, etc., and his reputation among the people is not good!
Therefore, among the people, they all said that Cao Cao was treacherous, and that this man was a traitor.
Li Dongyang heard it in this private room, just smiled lightly, took a sip of tea, but didn't say anything!
At this moment, there was a cough outside, and a person suddenly whispered outside: "Student Liu Yang, please see Xiya Gong!" Li Dongyang called himself Xiya, so his protégés were old, and they all called Xiya Gong, even Liu Jin, who was also honored in private.
"Liu Yang?" Li Dongyang flashed in his mind with a roe deer's head, and he couldn't describe it well.
He did know this Liu Yang, who was a person in the Hongzhi period of the previous dynasty, and he was also Li Dongyang's protégé, but because of this, he was a little obscene and unscrupulous, so he didn't like Li Dongyang.
But since this person came to the door, Li Dongyang didn't want to refuse people thousands of miles away, he was a humble gentleman, he was gentle and humble when dealing with people on weekdays, even Liu Jin praised him for having the style of an elder, and he also respected him a lot.
At that moment, Li Dongyang frowned slightly, and replied softly: "Is there something wrong?"
"The student has a confidential matter, and I want to ask Mr. to refer to it for the student!" Liu Yang said softly and respectfully.
Although he didn't like this student's personality, and he hadn't dealt with this person on weekdays, since this person came to the door to ask for a meeting, Li Dongyang didn't want to refuse, and heard this person claim to have confidential and important matters, so he immediately nodded and said, "Since there is something, then come in!"
With Li Dongyang's consent, Liu Yang pushed open the curtain between the screens and walked in!
After coming in, Liu Yang first respectfully performed a courtesy between teachers and students, and then said: "Student Liu Yang, meet the teacher!"
"No need to be polite, I'm just a scholar and politician, but I don't have a deep relationship with you, just feel free!"
Li Dongyang waved his hand, then made a gesture of please, invited him to sit down, and then poured him a full cup of tea and invited Liu Yangpin to use it.
"Student Enke, it was passed under the auspices of Mr., according to etiquette, Mr. is the student's teacher, please don't shirk Mr!"
After Liu Yang respectfully took Li Dongyang's teacup, he took out a gilded gift from his arms, handed it to Li Dongyang, and said, "The student has been missing his teacher recently, so he will come to Beijing.
