Chapter 136: There are limits to politeness

Wang Yue did not have the authority to directly mobilize troops from Xuanfu and Datong towns.

If you want to mobilize troops, you must obtain the permission of the imperial court. As for the so-called transfer, it is just a matter of speculation. There is no detailed report below.

Zhu Youtang would like to ask, where did Liu Ge hear this news from?

You actually got important information about Wang Yue’s affairs in the northwest. How can you not make me depressed?

"Mr. Liu Ge, it's better to ask the matter clearly before reporting it. I'm not trying to protect anyone. Even the Qing family in the battle of Helan Mountain can tolerate it. How can I even turn my head to Wang Weining?" To close the entire army, we need to make it clear to our ministers one by one."

Zhu Youtang's words were serious and thoughtful.

Trying to use sincerity to win Liu Jian’s support in the northwest affairs.

Liu Jian did not respond and resigned after handing over.

When Liu Jian left, Zhu Youtang became more and more angry.

“Let’s find out who leaked the news. There was no immediate mobilization of troops in the northwest. Someone actually made something out of thin air. If the news leaked and the Tatars changed their behavior, can they bear the responsibility? ”

Zhu Youtang did not take his anger out on Liu Jianjin, probably because Liu Jian was just doing his duty after learning the news.

Now Zhu Youtang just wants to find out who is behind the fire.

Xiao Jing said respectfully, "Yes."

When Dongchang came forward, things seemed to be coming to light.

The great sacrifice is in progress.

After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, there was nothing to do with the Heavenly Supervisor that day. Logically speaking, the emperor and his ministers had to return to the city, and Zhu Youtang also had to return to the palace to pay homage to the empress dowager and the empress dowager.

Before leaving, Xiao Jing came to report.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be a private discussion among the officials about the northwest affairs."

Zhu Youtang was already very angry, but after hearing this, he became even more angry. It doesn’t come from one place.

It was well hidden at first, but suddenly it seemed to be common knowledge, and all previous efforts may have been in vain.

"Who is talking?"

Zhu Youtang probably knows that it is not easy to find the culprit now, and he must first curb this trend of private discussions.

Xiao Jing said, "Perhaps someone from the Hanlin Academy is leaking information. As for who it is, we are still investigating. But now among the officials, many people are talking about it. If there is a court meeting, I'm afraid "Yes"

The general meaning is that I can't hold it back now.

If there is another court meeting, there will be a dispute in the court.

Wang Yueming pretended to be left in his post, but he actually went to the northwest to reorganize the army. The courtiers joined forces with the emperor and Wang Yue to fool him. The ministers did not know about the preparations for war in the northwest, and the civil servants did not make trouble

Zhu Youtang frowned.

He really had heard enough of the advice from those civil servants.

Xiao Jing tentatively said, "But starting from the day after tomorrow, there will be ten days of rest."

"Ten days of rest, but what about tomorrow? After the ten days of rest, what about the war then?" The port is still not open,Their discussions will subside."

Zhu Youtang doesn't think dragging the word trick is a good idea.

Luan Jia is ready.

Zhu You Zang is about to board Luan Jia. Before leaving, he seems to have to make arrangements for this matter, otherwise there will be rebellion in the court tomorrow morning. After all, those Yushi Yanguan are not as good-tempered as Liu Jian. They can just Ask him alone after the court meeting.

"After the New Year, I also want to have a clearer ear. In this way, let's find someone to reveal the three things that Bingkuan predicts will happen in the next year."

Zhu Youtang came up with an idea.

"Your Majesty"

Xiao Jing didn’t understand.

Why should Zhang Zhou be “sold”?

Zhu Youtang said, “Bingkuan is dedicated to me and the military and political affairs of the northwest. What shouldn’t be endured? Since those people think that I am wrong to trust Bingkuan, then show them Bingkuan’s ability, thinking that if I don’t tell them, they will have no good intentions towards Bingkuan.”

Even if he doesn’t mention Zhang Zhou, others will not treat Zhang Zhou as an orthodox civil servant. So instead of hiding Zhang Zhou, it is better to just hide it. Show Zhang Zhou's ability in front of everyone.

I will tell you that this is what Zhang Zhou predicted. The previous epidemic, the Qingning Palace fire, The earthquake, including the possible dispatch of troops by the Northwestern Tatars, were all caused by him.

And I also gave you a few free tips, that is, Zhang Zhou also predicted that there will still be big events after the year. /p>

For example, there were two earthquakes in Shaanxi and Ningxia in February. Although Zhang Zhou did not mention them explicitly, they were probably not minor, otherwise they would not have appeared in Zhang Zhou’s prophecies.

Since you have raised the matter of preparing for war in the northwest to a level that is not tolerated by kings and ministers, what else can I hide from you?

"In the past few days, Bingkuan has not been in the capital, and he has sent more people. Go protect him, and find more people to guard his mansion. I don’t believe they can get Bingkuan into harm’s way.”

Zhu Youtang also became angry.

Even if I want to do something, it's useless for you to persuade me. I also want to protect Zhang Zhou so that he can continue to shine for the Ming Dynasty.

In order to prevent you from attacking him after knowing the news, I sent him. People go to protect him.

There is no friendship between the emperor and his ministers.

Xiao Jing went to Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian with the emperor's instructions.

The ministers were also going back to the palace.

The rest of the people were already gathering. Only the three cabinet ministers were still talking to Xiao Jing, and many people were also heading here. While watching.

"Eunuch Xiao, your Majesty doesn't think it was me who leaked the news, right?"

Liu Jian frowned.

I just talked to the emperor this morning. , the emperor seemed to feel that there had been rumors about the northwest incident, and Liu Jian had to first distance himself from the leak of the news.

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "How could your majesty only do this?"I want our family to tell us the whole story. In fact, it was Mr. Zhang, that is, Gongsheng Zhang Zhou, who prophesied in advance that there would be great chaos in the northwest, and the Tatars would come out in force."

The previous conversation between the emperor and Liu Jian only vaguely stated There is indeed something happening in the northwest.

But it was not made so clear.

When Xiao Jing was telling the story this time, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were standing next to him, so the cabinet had no idea what was going on. It was clear that even Ma Wensheng was involved in it and he told the truth frankly.

Before moving to the northwest, the emperor first passed the post of Minister of the Ministry of War. Wang Yue himself was also the left minister of the Ministry of War, plus five others. Zhang Mao, the admiral of the Military Governor's Office in Beijing,

No matter how you look at it, the emperor did not completely skip the court, he just did not say hello in the court or greeted the three cabinet members.

Li Dongyang said, "Your Majesty believes in a Gong Sheng's nonsense."

Xiao Jing said, "Three pavilion elders, it's not that your Majesty doesn't want to believe it, but sometimes you have to believe it. The three of you should have known about the previous earthquake in Xinye." That was measured by Mr. Zhang. In addition, Mr. Zhang also said that there will be earthquakes in Shaanxi and Ningxia in February." He seems to be very good at it. If Ming Dynasty wants to be prepared for earthquakes in the future, he can just rely on him to give early warning. "

"Mr. "

Xiao Jing could naturally tell that Xie Qian was making fun of Zhang Zhou.

"Really?" Xie Qian was still smiling, obviously not believing it.

p>

You don’t need to explain to us what happened in your palace. We don’t want to know whether it was a fire from heaven or someone set it on fire to punish Li Guang. Anyway, we are happy that Li Guang is dead.

But now. When Zhang Zhou appeared, it was not what we wanted.

Li Dongyang said, "Whether it is an earthquake or a fire from the sky, it is to save people rather than harm them. Even if they are not what they say, nothing will happen." as a result of. But if you talk lightly about the use of troops in the northwest, dare to ask whether this is a tribute student or an alchemist who brings disaster to the country and the people."

"This"

Xiao Jing heard this.

This The hat is a bit too big.

Now you civil servants think that Li Guang is doing well, right? Li Guang will only have one-third of an acre in the palace, and Li Guang will not interfere much in the affairs of the court. , but now Zhang Zhou has directly engaged in preparing for war in the northwest.

Do you regret it?

Xiao Jing said, "I dare to ask Mr. Li Ge, if it is just to dispatch troops to the northwest to prepare for war." , but if it goes against the Ming Dynasty’s northwest defense policy and warns the Tatar invasion, it will be a fault. Then will anyone dare to make such a warning in the future?”

Xiao Jing also became serious.

In this matter, no matter who the civil servants support, Xiao Jing is on Zhang Zhou's side.

Xiao Jing can adjust his butt according to the circumstances.

"Although the prophecy was performed by Mr. Zhang, the decision-making power rests with His Majesty and the Ministry of War. Even Ma Shangshu of the Ministry of War has no objection to this. , now we are not talking about sending troops to the grassland, we are just asking Wang Weining to go to the northwest to prevent unexpected events. If you consider this matter with all the ministers, is there any better proposal than this?"

Xiao Jing seems to be right. The three pavilion elders were polite, but that didn't mean he had to be humble.

He represents the emperor, who is in charge of the East Factory behind the scenes, and has the authority to investigate hundreds of officials. Today it is he who told the emperor that there are criticisms of the military administration in the northwest among the civil servants. Now your civil servants not only do not review, but also If you want to continue to be aggressive, the person who is proud of his favor is not Zhang Zhou, but you ignorant civil servants

Xie Qian wanted to make a few jokes, but Liu Jian stopped him.

Liu Jian asked, "Eunuch Xiao, your Majesty has ordered that even Wang Weining must not send troops easily, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Jing's answer was straightforward, " Wang Weining does not have the authority to lead troops out of the fortress in the northwest. There is no doubt that he has the chief military officer to assist him and the guarding officer to control it."

"That's good." Liu Jian. Seems to have compromised on this.

Li Dongyang looked at Liu Jian, seemingly unwilling to compromise like this.

Are we too cowardly to ignore Xiao Jing’s harsh words?

Liu Jian can represent the cabinet after all. Xiao Jing meets Liu Jian With such a clear understanding of the righteousness, he felt relieved. Before leaving, he reminded, "I'd like to trouble the elders to stabilize the overall situation. There will be a court meeting tomorrow. I hope there won't be any discordant voices in the court. This matter can no longer be publicized to the outside world." An eagle has risen on the grassland. Whether it can be hunted down before it takes off depends on this battle."

"Okay"

Who is Liu Jian? Know how to take the overall situation into consideration.

He can be regarded as a guarantee in front of Xiao Jing that this matter will not cause any disturbance in the court. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
