The ministers complained internally, but they still had to listen to the memorial from the commander-in-chief of a certain border town.
At the end of the memorial, the commander-in-chief revealed his true purpose and asked the court to grant him arbitrary power to quell the rebellion.
If there is no memorial by Qin Dewei and only the memorial by Liu Zongbing, it is still normal and there is no big problem.
But after reading Qin Dewei's memorial first, and then Liu Zongbing's memorial, anyone can feel that something is wrong! There is a problem!
No matter how you look at General Liu's performance, it looks like he is rushing to take advantage of the opportunity, which is far worse than Qin Dewei's performance.
Moreover, there seemed to be no communication at all between the two officials who were both in Guangning City, and even their remarks were completely different.
There are many subtle interpretations of this situation.
For example, Qin Dewei only said that he rode into the camp alone. There is a little mystery here, that is, he did not say whether he was active or passive.
But no matter how everyone interprets it, it is impossible to deny Qin Dewei.
Because Qin Dewei was indeed alone among the rebels, and he controlled the situation and stabilized the rebels.
Moreover, he was able to communicate with the court to ensure that the court could still issue decrees smoothly and control the situation.
Since it is impossible to deny the political significance of Qin Dewei riding into the camp alone, coupled with the psychological impact of preconceptions, the problem can only lie with General Liu, who looks like a fool.
Xia Yan, the official of the Ministry of Personnel, thought about it in his mind and said to Emperor Jiajing: "It can be seen from the memorial that Qin Dewei seems to have deliberately concealed something from Liu Huai, and he was very defensive!
This made me suspicious, why is an imperial envoy who is supposed to be protected by the General Soldier so afraid of the General Soldier?"
When everyone thought according to the ideas provided by Xia Yan, there was only one possibility, that is General Liu deliberately allowed the imperial envoy to fall into chaos.
Then the imperial envoy noticed something, but he had no evidence and no strength to deal with Liu Zongbing, so he could only do things without telling Liu Zongbing first.
In the end, Mr. Liu thought he had a plan, so he jumped out and told the court that the imperial envoy was incompetent, and demanded the power that should have belonged to the imperial envoy to seize the credit for quelling the rebellion?
Is that really the case?
Emperor Jiajing suddenly turned to the cabinet scholars and said: "Give Ren Luo an order to travel day and night! Follow Qin Dewei's suggestion to recruit the rebels, and at the same time find out what Liu Huai did!"
Ren Luo is the new governor of Liaodong. He was transferred from Shanxi and is still on his way to Liaodong.
Zhang Fujing, the first assistant, came forward and accepted the order, and then said something "fair":
"I believe that Qin Dewei is a man who enjoys great achievements in nature. He may be suspected of threatening the self-respect of the bandits. He may use the rebellion to push his strategies to the imperial court."
Wang Tingxiang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, couldn't help but refute: "The theory of killing one's heart is unfounded! Is this how Shou Kui judges things? Want to imitate the old events of the Southern Song Dynasty?"
At this time, the eunuch in the clerk's office who was responsible for receiving memorials came again, bringing another memorial from Guangning City.
This made the ministers in the palace puzzled. Who else is there in Guangning City? Are they the guarding eunuchs who have begun to do nothing?
"Your Majesty Guang Ning Wei, Secretary of State Feng En, once again impeached the great scholar Zhang Fuking, the great scholar Fang Xianfu, and the Minister of War Wang Hong as three traitors who have harmed the country!"
Everyone: ""
Most of the people in the palace were veteran bureaucrats who had been there for decades. For the first time, they realized that shock was not enough.
Why are you, Feng En, so crazy for jumping out now? You impeached three traitors more than two years ago and almost lost your life, and you are doing it again this time?
Besides, that’s not how you build your presence. You guys, no matter how hard you blame the Guangning mutiny, you can’t get rid of these three big guys, right?
This place in Guangning City has been very evil recently, so reckless, stupid, and crazy!
However, many people also came up with the same idea: Could this be Qin Dewei's instigation again?
Young people are very energetic. Isn't it enough to play a big game of chess in Liaodong and start another game in the court?
Compared with the capital city that was shocked, Guangning City was a bit dull. Of course, for a place where the mutiny occurred, being dull was actually a good thing.
Qin Dewei woke up at noon, yawned, and sat bored in the courtyard.
Yu Manzi and others came in happily and said to Qin Dewei: "Governor Lu Yuan commanded them all to write down their charges!"
He added: "Thanks to your method, we harassed them day and night in shifts, making them unable to sleep well. As expected, they couldn't bear it, so they simply confessed and wrote it down!"
Qin Dewei had no choice but to find something to do for these rebels, so he had no choice but to deal with those two.
Besides, the imperial court is always looking for a scapegoat, so let's trouble the two of them to take the blame together.
It was these two losers who caused the trouble in the first place, so it was not an injustice to them.
Qin Dewei checked around to make sure that Mrs. Li was not peeping at him nearby, and then asked Manzi:
"Have you ever inquired about what's going on at the General Military Mansion? Now only General Liu has soldiers in the city. I've been worried that General Liu will encircle and suppress you. You have to be on guard."
Yu Manzi felt that this imperial envoy was really a good official and always thought of them. If there were officials like this in the world, why would they cause a mutiny?
While thinking about it, he replied to Qin Dewei: "There is no sign of massing at the General Military Mansion. They just sent troops to occupy the border market in the name of preventing unrest."
Huh? Qin Dewei frowned and thought.
Today, the Ming Dynasty is still in a feudal war with the northern Tatars, and there are very few border markets. Only three horse markets have been opened in Liaodong.
Two of them are in Guangning Guards, targeting the three Uuliangha Guards, and the other is in Kaiyuan, targeting female straight people.
It can be said that there are only these three ports in the entire north, and the profits can be imagined.
Thinking of this, Qin Dewei suddenly felt that he might have guessed Mr. Liu's motives.
Originally, he thought that General Liu just wanted to take the credit for quelling the rebellion from him, but now it seemed that it was more than that.
The horse market or border market is the traditional sphere of influence of the local Guangningwei, and Liu Zongbing, an outsider, does not have much to eat.
Now that we see the mutiny in Guangning Guard, Commander Liu may want to take advantage of the situation?
If this is the case, many doubts can be explained! No wonder Yuan Lin, the commander of the Guangning Guard, was also inexplicably captured by the rebels!
Thinking of this, Qin De couldn't show off his power.
You, Liu Huai, are just trying to take advantage of Commander Yuan's actions. In order to seize power and credit, you actually pushed Qin Dewei into the pit of fire!
Although I realized that General Liu might have a problem after "riding into the camp alone", I didn't expect it to be so dark!
Qin Dewei suppressed his resentful thoughts and said to the barbarians: "That afternoon I will teach you how to write memorials to the imperial court.
Then I will take your memorial to the courier shop and let the court know your last resort."
Although Qin Dewei knew very well that these were useless things, their purpose was just to delay time.
There was indeed one person among the rebels who could write, and Qin Dewei taught him step by step. He struggled until dusk before he could barely complete a document.
Then Yu Manzi and others escorted Qin Dewei to the main express delivery store in the city.
They dare not let Qin Dewei act on his own. What if he runs away? What if he colludes with the enemy inside and outside?
The reason why Qin Dewei did this was to take the opportunity to have a few words with Feng Qiancheng, who was in charge of the express delivery shop.
I don’t know if Feng Qianqian understood what he was hinting at, and then went to Shangshu to impeach Mr. Liu.
First of all, Mrs. Li was there that night, and he, Qin Dewei, could not impeach General Liu in front of Mrs. Li. After all, the Li family had a relationship with General Liu.
Secondly, if Qin Dewei personally came forward to impeach, it would easily lead to mutual attacks and a bad fight, so Feng En, a local official, was needed to come forward as a third party, which would look more objective.
If the imperial court realizes the problem, it should quickly send someone over to restrict or remove General Liu's military power.
Only in this way can he, Qin Dewei, feel safe.
Of course, if Mr. Liu is deposed, the Li family will probably be implicated. I wonder if Mrs. Li will resent herself.
