Chapter 634: A little impatience can ruin a big plan

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the good news about Ma Yi and Zhang Rui finally reached Datong.

And two days later, the good news arrived in the capital. At this time, most people in the court had forgotten that Ma Yi was still there. It seemed that the war that winter had already ended. It ended with Cui Yuan and Zhu Feng winning the battle in the north of Jizhou.

No one expected that not only would the war be a continuation of the war, but a big one would come, and the contribution would be several times greater than that of Zhu Feng and Cui Yuan.

It happened to be noon when the news reached the capital.

Zhu Youtang was eating. He had a poor appetite. Although his condition had improved greatly after Zhang Zhou returned to Beijing, the weakness of his body and bones was still there. When Chen Kuanwan When the good news was delivered to him, Zhu Youtang just nodded slightly after reading it, showing a slightly pleased look.

Chen Kuan didn’t quite understand it.

I am overjoyed and sad at the same time, but my Majesty is now accustomed to good news.

"Tell Bingkuan the news." Zhu Youtang had already planned to put down his chopsticks and take a nap. , but after reading the good news, he picked up his chopsticks and asked the maid on the side to serve him a bowl of rice.

My appetite seems to be much better.

Chen Kuan said, "Yes."

Chen Kuan was about to retreat.

Zhu Youtang Nunu said, "Bring the good news with you, otherwise you can tell Bingkuan that we have won. Just say that Bingkuan will not let me down, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will not let me down either." The east is not bright, the west is bright, and now everything is bright

"Your Majesty, do you want to inform all the ministers in the court about this news earlier?" Chen Kuan asked. Zhu Youtang said, "Tell them what they can do. Can they be of any help, or can they share my worries? Every time it's not enough to cause trouble, you remind me to tell the Jin Yiwei side that Xie Qian can be escorted back again."< /p>

"Your Majesty" Chen Kuan obviously did not want to follow this order.

That was the emperor's husband. The emperor had sent the teacher to prison before, and his reputation was not very good this time. If Xie is moved to imperial prison again, I'm afraid something will happen.

Zhu Youtang said, "As a king, you cannot decide things based on closeness and distance. Everything must be in accordance with the law, and others must follow the law." It is said that I am favoring Bingkuan, but in fact, I am just helping. If Bingkuan does something right, I want to reward others. If he does something wrong, I must punish him. This is the most basic justice in the world. "

"Yes. ”

Chen Kuan is worried.

Your Majesty, you said it so lightly. When I thought that this battle was in vain, you also want to directly promote Cai Guogong. As the Minister of Civil Affairs, why didn’t I think about "justice"

The one who is in power now is Cai Guogong. When he wants to suppress the old school of civil servants, justice is involved

Zhu Youtang took another bite of vegetables and said leisurely, "Suddenly I felt that it was not that important whether I went out to the grasslands with Bingkuan at the beginning of the year. It has only been more than a year, and the Tatars are already in the sunset, so maybe there is no need."If I go in person, Tatar will be completely dead. ”

Chen Kuandao said, “Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to take risks.” "

Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "As a king, if I have to ask others to step forward in everything, won't I be laughed at? Bingkuan is also a scheming person in the world. Everything is under his control. With such a conspirator here, what do I have to worry about? Let's go quickly. If there's nothing serious, there's no need to disturb me. I can have a good sleep. ”

When it’s time to take a nap, continue to take a nap.

Taking a nap with good news, it seems that Zhu Youtang can sleep more soundly this nap.

Chen Kuan personally It is considered a courtesy to visit Zhang Zhou's house with Li Zhang, Mou Bin and others. What is required is the kind of respectful attitude towards Zhang Zhou, which makes Zhang Zhou feel that the Chief of Ceremonies and the whole court system treat him the same way. He obeyed his advice.

A group of people came just to send a good news.

When Zhang Zhou sent people away, it was time for him to inspect his property. But here Jiang Pingyu also prepared some ginseng tea for him to replenish his body.

“It’s not needed. "Zhang Zhou said.

Jiang Pingyu asked, "Are those people in the palace all here?"

Even Jiang Pingyu could tell that the people who came were not serious. The tone of each official's speech is so unique.

Zhang Zhou said, "I came here to give you a memorial. It's a memorial to Xiu Jie from the northwest." I am the Minister of the Ministry of War. Your Majesty was afraid that I would find out late and delay some arrangements, so he asked them to deliver it to me in person. Don't underestimate the previous few people, they are all capable of making whatever changes they want in the court. "

Jiang Pingyu nodded and said, "Same, Master. ”

Zhang Zhou smiled.

Although Jiang Pingyu does not leave home now, she has heard many heroic deeds of her husband, which also made her realize that it turned out that The muddled young man of the family was just a facade. It turned out to be a hidden dragon in the abyss, but now Zhang Zhou is in his true state.

Zhang Zhou also came and went in a hurry when he returned home, and he did not follow Jiang Pingyu. After saying a few words, he took Wang Mingshan out again.

The good news reached the capital.

But it was only circulated within the palace. People in the court vaguely knew that something might have happened in the northwest. , but they didn’t even know the blessings or misfortunes. Many people were also asking for news that day, but found that no news was revealed.

“It’s unusual. ”

When Li Dongyang was about to return home, he passed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, after seeing Ma Wensheng, the two went up to chat for a few words, and Ma Wensheng commented directly.

Li Dongyang was about to ask the palace again. Something happened outside. Someone from the Xie Mansion came here to report it. When he saw Li Dongyang, he felt as if he had found a savior and said, "Mr. Li, something bad happened. The Jin Yiwei came to the house, and my master whined again. "

By the end of the sentence, the person was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Ma Wensheng hurriedly asked, "Are they Jin Yiwei?"

As he spoke, Ma Wensheng also His eyes fell on Li Dongyang

Li Dongyang took a breath and said, "I have something to bear.Brother Tu, you may not know. Tell me what happened while we were walking. "

Ma Wensheng hurriedly asked, "Binzhi, where are you going?"

"The Ministry of Punishment. "Li Dongyang said, "Yu Qiao has been in imperial prison once. If he goes to jail again, the Ministry of Punishment will have to come out to inquire about the case. If the courtiers are kept in the dark about everything, then where is the law of the court?"

"Actually. It’s not necessary.”

Ma Wensheng wanted to give him some advice.

But he found that Li Dongyang was taking long steps, and it was obvious that Li Dongyang was not going to listen to his opinion.

He seemed to understand very well that he, a veteran who was about to retire and a defeated general who had repeatedly defeated Zhang Zhou, had the qualifications to win over Li Dongyang.

On the contrary, it was his compromise on some things in the past two years that made traditional civil servants overwhelmed in front of Zhang Zhou. This seemed to be doomed that he could only be a person in the court. When the time is right, neither the emperor nor the traditional civil servants will protect a person who is messing around.

Xie Qian looked proud and proud. He was escorted to the court. He seemed to have expected that this might happen. After all, he was the second person to enter the palace. He was not worried. He just said to Guo Ang, who was sitting behind the desk in the court, "Your Excellency, you want to How can I give you a good time? ”

Guo Ang said, “Don’t you ask Mr. Xie Ge why you are here today?” Ask what's going on. If Zhang Bingkuan is here, let him come out with him. I would like to ask him for advice in person. ”

“Why did Cai Guogong come to my Jinyi Wei Gong’s house? Mr. Xie Ge, please be patient. Someone from Dali Temple may come tonight. Someone will tell you about your case. Xie Ge Lao went to his residence. ”

Guo Ang also seemed very polite.

Last time I brought Xie Qian here, I didn’t use torture, and I still won’t do it this time.

This time Just convict Xie Qian directly. The previous decision was to let Xie Qian return to his hometown. Now that there is good news in the northwest, it is possible that Xie Qian will basically be released from exile as a guilty person, or return to his hometown as a guilty person. Yes, Jin Yiwei doesn’t need to investigate.

This matter is very simple for Jin Yiwei.

The case is not important.

On the surface, Xie Qian has not denied that he went to the Yanguan to impeach Wang Shouren. The matter of Xie Qian obstructing the Ministry of Revenue from allocating money and food to the northwest is also well-founded. It depends on how the emperor wants to punish him.

When Xie Qian came back this time, at most he only changed his charges, from innocent to guilty, but it was still not the Jin Yiwei group who could decide Xie Qian’s fate. After all, Xie Qian’s official position was still too high. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Jin Yiwei He didn't have the power to directly investigate Xie Qian's charges of dereliction of duty, so he just waited for the verdict to be finalized.

It was almost dark before Mou Bin returned to Beizhen Fusi.

Guo Ang hurriedly went over to ask for instructions.

Mo Bin said, "Dali Temple has sent someone here."

Guo Ang was startled and asked, "Didn't he say that he would wait until later to resign and he didn't send anyone to Dali Temple? He thought that His Majesty would convey the decree."

Mo Bin Throwing his sleeves, he said, "What purpose does this have? You and I both know very well that Xie Butang will not get any good results this time. The person he offended is not an ordinary person."

Guo Ang said, "Yes. He offended Cai Guogong, but there is no good harvest to be gained."

"You are wrong," Mou Bin said, "It is Your Majesty who he offended, and it was Your Majesty who wanted to convict him. It was never Cai Guogong, and even Cai Guogong didn't bother. Pay attention to his affairs. It's just that some people haven't realized it yet and always thought that what they were doing was beneficial to the country and the people. They never thought that his actions were causing trouble for the Ming Dynasty. If such a person is allowed to be in the government again, it will cause trouble in the future. There will be more and more."

"Tiandu" Guo Ang didn't seem to understand.

"Humph, he impeached Uncle Xin Xin to mobilize troops for the British Duke, but it was this deployment of troops that led to this great victory. He impeached Cai Guogong for nepotism, but he never thought about what Cai Guogong used every time People are different, and there is no distinction between closeness and distance. This kind of person is nominally trying to maintain court discipline, but judging from the results, he is in the same party and against dissent. Your Majesty wants to convict him, not because he can't do things, but because he wants to convict him. He has no tolerance for people."

Mo Bin analyzed it for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "Send the person to the prison without waiting for Guo Ang to reply."

Guo Ang asked, "Didn't you say before that you should be kind?"

"That was before"

Mo Bin said, "This time it is different. He is a guilty person." , It won’t take more than a few days to support him. It is estimated that his case will be settled before the end of the year. In addition to him, some people in the court will also join us and our Yamenmen will be busy before the end of the year. "

"Busy"

Guo Ang smiled.

Once Jin Yiwei gets busy, there will be trouble, others will be afraid of Jin Yiwei, and Jin Yiwei will have more say in the court.

For Jin Yiwei, the busier the better.

"Don't think that this time is to make trouble for you. On the contrary, if you are not careful, you will also be involved. Ma Yi is just a general soldier under Xinjian Bo, but he can actually lead his troops. It's really strange to plunder the grassland. Who would dare to believe it if I tell it?"

Mo Bin was also amazed and walked towards the inner hall.

Guo Ang said, "Earlier Jianchangbo sent someone here."

"Don't pay attention to Jianchangbo. From now on, except for Cai Guogong's orders, just pretend not to hear what others say." Mou Bin said.

"Yes, yes."

Mo Bin wiped a cold sweat.

Before the rise of Zhang Zhou, the powerful officials that Jin Yiwei was most afraid of were the two brothers of the Zhang family, because they were two beings that Jin Yiwei could not afford to offend.

Now, it seems that I still can't afford to offend him, but I can ignore it now. From now on, I can just follow Zhang Zhou's orders and be Zhang Zhou's lackey.

Li Dongyang went from the Ministry of Officials to the Ministry of Punishment, and then to Dali TempleAfter walking around for a while, I finally had no choice but to turn back and arrive at Liu Jian's house.

Liu Jian has just returned home.

"I heard about it."

Liu Jian asked his servants to prepare face wash. It was warm and still steaming, but his tone seemed very calm, " Probably because there is good news from the northwest, Yu Qiao's situation is worrying."

Li Dongyang said, "The good news from the northwest is the British Lord."

Liu Jiandao, "I don't know what happened after you left." His Majesty sent several memorials back, and he mentioned the details of Xin Xinbo's intention to drive the main force of the Tatar tribe westward, and Ma Yi also had a purpose and plan to lead his troops to the west. "

Li Dongyang seemed unbelievable when he tried to “cover people’s eyes and ears”.

"Maybe." After Liu Jian wiped his face, he put the cloth aside and someone immediately took it away.

When the two arrived at the main hall, Liu Jian took something out of his arms and gave it to Li Dongyang. Li Dongyang was even more unbelievable after reading it.

"This is the list of people who will join the cabinet that I have drawn up. After Yu Qiao retires, the cabinet will definitely need new people to come in. If it is in accordance with His Majesty's wishes, the next people who will join the cabinet will definitely be those who join the cabinet. Zhang Bingkuan is a very close person, so he has no choice but to strike first," Liu Jian said calmly.

Li Dongyang felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

Xie Qian had just been in trouble here. He had just dug a hole and stuffed people into it. He hadn't buried the soil yet. Liu Jian seemed to be unable to bear the urge to shovel the soil down first.

It feels like adding insult to injury.

Liu Jian seemed to understand what Li Dongyang was thinking, and said, "A small impatience will mess up a big plan. For the current plan, it is better to adopt the attitude of cutting off seats with Yu Qiao. Only in this way, may your Majesty be able to Give him a lighter sentence. The more we care about it, the more your Majesty will insist on a heavy punishment."

Li Dongyang looked very sad and said, "Is it possible that another life will be lost?"

Liu Jian sighed, "In this place of imperial edict, if you are destined to go in, you may not be destined to come out. Even if you die, who knows why, we are trying to save Yu Qiao's life in disguise." Please remember to bookmark this chapter after the end, the latest website Read quickly without anti-theft for free
