237. Chapter 237 It's hard to be sided by the Qing emperor
If King Anhua rebelled and wanted to make a list of people who were anxious to get angry, Zhu Houzhao, the ninth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, would definitely not be ranked first, even if according to normal logic, he should be ranked first.
.
Who has the courage to seize the first place in this ranking? Well, no need to guess, yes, it is the one you are thinking of, Liu Jin and Eunuch Liu who shined in King Anhua's message to the world.
People have been preaching "internal and external alliances and evil intentions" to the world, and they have been directly pulled out as targets of the Qing Dynasty. Can Liu Jin not be anxious? Not to mention that the main reason for King Anhua's rebellion this time is in Shaanxi.
In his excerpts, it has been made very clear that it was because of his Eunuch Liu's new policy that the people sent to clean up and reorganize the military villages in Tianmu went too far and even "forced rebellion" against King Anhua.
Eunuch Liu was really anxious.
If he didn't want to be regarded as the one who took the blame, be criticized by everyone in the world, and be abandoned by the emperor, he must get rid of this matter as soon as possible, whether it was to prompt the imperial army to quickly put down the rebellion, or to take the Anhua from thousands of miles away.
Regardless of the king's head, in short, the sooner this matter is settled, the better for him.
As we all know, although Liu Jin is now extremely powerful and serves as the internal minister, he relies on the emperor's favor. This person does not have much money. Although he is not like those scholars who secretly laugh at him because he cannot read a single word, but,
His ability to make decisive decisions when the opportunity arises on such a big matter is not even a fraction of that of the few bachelors in the cabinet.
Therefore, while he sent people in vain to block the news that had been circulated long ago, he no longer cared about face and went directly to Li Dongyang's house.
"Mr. Xi Ya, the Za family has really been wronged this time. Those two things, Zhou Dong and Li Zeng, are so ungrateful that they caused such a big mess for the court. But this matter has nothing to do with the Za family at all. It's all these two
The thing makes its own decisions!"
People must expect something from others, so even the usually harsh "Master Li" was changed to the friendly "Mr. Xiya". Li Dongyang's old eyes drooped, and he felt slightly amused.
"Of course your Majesty is aware of Eunuch Liu's grievances. I heard that he even specially comforted you. Eunuch, you don't have to worry. With your majesty's wisdom and prowess, you will definitely not be angry with your father-in-law because of this matter!" Li Dongyang said calmly: "You traitor and traitor.
, if you do something rebellious, you have to have a name, no one will take it seriously!"
I know there is nothing wrong with Your Majesty, but I cannot guarantee that the civil and military officials of the court and the people of the world will treat me as Your Majesty did! Liu Jin smiled dryly and muttered in his stomach.
He didn't read history books, but as soon as this incident came out, he called Zhang Cai over. When he heard Zhang Cai explain the matter to him in such detail, his face suddenly didn't look so good. He spent a long time doing it.
, this has been the case since ancient times, as long as someone is pointed out as "Qing Jun's side", no matter whether it is accomplished or not, and no matter who is in charge in the end, the person or persons who are "Qing Jun's side" will not end well.
!
To put it more distantly, Chao Cuo of the Western Han Dynasty was pointed out to be "sidetracked" by the Qing emperor during the Rebellion of the Seven Kings. As a result, before the rebel kings could attack him, Chao Cuo was beheaded in the city by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
Before, this guy was the master whose access to the palace was as restricted as his own courtyard.
More recently, during the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan also sacrificed this magical weapon on the Qing emperor's side. This was even more outrageous, and as a result, the emperor's most beloved concubine also died.
Closer to home, in the Jingnan Campaign of this dynasty, Emperor Taizu Wen also started the rebellion under the banner of Qingjun. What happened to Qitai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru, who had ten clans wiped out? This is
Known to all the world.
When Liu Jin thought of this, he shuddered. He did not doubt his friendship with Zhu Houzhao, but could this love be greater than the love between the emperor and his concubine? The emperor was so anxious that he could even give him a gift to his most beloved concubine.
Death, after all, is just the emperor's domestic slave, so what can't happen to him?
"Ahem, the Zajia family also knows this truth. However, the Zajia family is acting against the will of heaven and His Majesty's food and drinks are not good. The Zajia family, who is a slave, feels distressed when he sees it. The Zajia family came today because they actually want to discuss things with Mr. Xi Ya.
, how can we put him to rest in this matter? We have an inner court and an outer court and cooperate fully. Is there anything else we can’t do in this world?"
"Is Liu Gong talking about how to suppress rebellion?"
"Yes, yes, the sooner these traitors are eradicated, the sooner the world will be clear and clear!" Liu Jin looked unfounded.
"Your Majesty was so angry the day before yesterday that he wanted to go on a personal expedition with the imperial commander, but he was remonstrated by the cabinet. Although King Anhua rebelled against him, he only had only ten thousand soldiers in a small corner. If the imperial commander personally went to conquer the country, that would be too disrespectful of him. As long as the court chooses a good and brave general.
, send tens of thousands of troops forward, the rebels will be defeated in a day!"
"Mr. Xiya has done a good job. Your Majesty is so noble. He personally conquered those rebellious officials and traitors. They must have the blessing to enjoy it! Mr. Xiya said that he should choose a good, handsome and brave general. He must have already had a candidate in mind. He is
Which family’s general is in the imperial court?”
"No!" Li Dongyang smiled, "In order to put down the rebellion, in addition to literary and military strategies, we also need to be quite familiar with King Anhua's lair. I actually have a person with both literary and military skills in my heart.
If I have a strategy and is familiar with the terrain of Gansu and Shaanxi, if my old eyes are not dim yet, if this person leads the army, there will be no need to worry about rebelling against the king!"
"Oh!" Liu Jin's eyes lit up. If this is the case, that would be great. This King Anhua is too indifferent to others. He should die early and be reincarnated!
Li Dongyang hesitated for a moment, then said hesitantly, "It's just that this person has been evil to my father-in-law before. If he has done evil to his father-in-law, doesn't that mean he has done evil to the court? Now that you and I, the inner court and the outer court, are one, this person is probably
No use!"
Liu Jin was anxious. It was hard to find someone who could settle the matter as soon as possible, but Li Dongyang didn't use it yet. Wasn't this deliberately making things difficult for him?
"Hahaha, Mr. Xiya, you underestimate the Zajia family too much. Do you think that the Zajia family is such a narrow-minded person? As long as this person is useful to the court and can do his best to serve the court, it is not a small thing in the past.
How can the Zajia family still remember the offense? It doesn’t matter who this person is, Mr. Xi Ya has just agreed, you and I will recommend this person to His Majesty at the same time!"
"You really don't care?" Li Dongyang asked seriously.
"I don't care at all!" Liu Jin said firmly. There are so many people who have offended him. If he cares, can he come over?
"This person's name is Yang Yiqing?"
"Oh, Yang Yiqing, which Yang Yiqing? Even if the Za family recommends this person to Your Majesty, you can't know everything!" Eunuch Liu asked very modestly when he didn't understand.
"That's Yang Yiqing and Yang Yingning, the former trilateral commanders. Do you remember, my father-in-law, the trilateral military pay embezzlement case?" Now it was Li Dongyang's turn to be a little dumbfounded. He dared not believe that this Liu Jin was not the legendary vengeance, but a completely heartless person.
Lungs!
"Ah, it's him. Mr. Xi Ya, if you had said it was him earlier, it would have been over. OK, I remember this guy. He seems to be someone with some abilities!" The smile on Liu Jin's face became a little unnatural. With this reminder, he
If you can't remember it anymore, your brain is smaller than a pine nut.
Forget it, I recruited this guy that day, but he didn’t give me face. It’s been a few years since this happened, and I didn’t kill him at the beginning. I was still very wise, knowing that this guy would still be useful in the future!
After a while, Liu Jin's thoughts became clear, and he even felt a little smug about his foresight.
"How about we go to see His Majesty now? The sooner the better!" He stood up, "If the army sets off as soon as possible, this rebellion will be put down as soon as possible. Time and time do not wait for us!"
