No one objected to Tang Yin taking over as the governor-general of Xuanda, but Peng Ze, Minister of War, and Jiang Mian, Second Assistant to the Cabinet, still put forward a general premise, that is, the final decision must be made after the battle report at Juyongguan is thoroughly clarified, in case the military morale around Xuanda is not good.
Change.
It was rare that Zhu Si did not fight, and the two sides reached a tacit consensus, but it was when Yang Tinghe was not in court.
Inside Yang Tinghe's mansion.
The imperial physician Xue Ji received the imperial order and went to the palace to diagnose Yang Tinghe. After the imperial hospital was harvested by Zhu Si, Xue Ji has now become one of the judges of the two hospitals. He is the sixth rank and is only under the rank of the fifth rank.
.
Xue Ji had a close relationship with the Yang family. After he diagnosed Yang Tinghe, before he left, someone came to visit him, but it was Jiang Mian and Peng Ze.
"Your Majesty asked two elders to come and ask for your opinion. This is a greeting."
The servant will present the greeting card.
Yang Tinghe waved his hand to signal Xue Ji to do what he wanted and not to worry about him.
When Xue Ji went out, he happened to pass by Peng Ze and Jiang Mian.
Yang Tinghe's study.
Peng Ze and Jiang Mian sat down, while Yang Tinghe was wearing a loose robe and coughed from time to time.
It looked like he was really sick rather than pretending to be sick. That haggard and bloodless face didn't look like he could fake it.
"...The situation is like this. To prevent Tang Yin from succeeding as Governor of Xuanda, you have to take action." Jiang Mian expressed his current dilemma.
It’s not that we don’t want to stop it, it’s just that we really can’t.
Tang Yin suddenly changed from what we call a female official who brought disaster to the country and the people, to a great hero. The emperor was feeling proud and proud, and now it was time to take back his life and undermine the emperor's overwhelming self-confidence. It was up to you, Yang Jiefu, to stop the emperor's auction.
The momentum of the coal mine comes.
Perhaps only in this way... can the remonstrance be successful. "Ahem... no need."
Yang Tinghe waved his hand, "The matter has come to this, why stop it? If the battle at Juyongguan is true, then Tang Yin is indeed... a capable minister."
Jiang Mian smiled bitterly.
If Yang Tinghe admits that his opponent is strong, he will probably have to bear a big blow, right?
Yang Tinghe suddenly looked at Peng Ze and asked, "Have you found out? What happened to the tactics Tang Yin used at Juyongguan?"
Until now, Yang Tinghe is still struggling with Tang Yin's tactical layout.
It is obvious that in the past conflicts between the Ming Dynasty and the grassland tribes, the Ming Dynasty never gained any advantages in sending troops. The Ming Dynasty was good at using city gates as defense, and could win by taking the initiative. Moreover, Tang Yin actually thought that he could win.
It is related to the ignition of gunpowder to explode the enemy.
Peng Zedao: "It is said that a large sky lantern is used to transport people to the sky, and then a gunpowder that can break mountains and rocks is used to make explosive packets, and then the explosives are thrown from the sky under the cover of night..."
"hiss……"
Jiang Mian took a breath after hearing this. What kind of tactic is this?
Is Tang Yin a magician who is good at controlling the mysterious sky? When he curses people, he only says, "Why don't you go to heaven?" Now Tang Yin really makes people go to heaven?
Yang Tinghe shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Have you ever investigated the war in Anlu Prefecture to annihilate Jiangxi and Jiangxi bandits... What tactics did Tang Bohu use when he led the army?"
Jiang Mian thought to himself, is this a problem for Peng Ze?
What happened back then was only spread within a small area. Even if it was reported to Prince Xing's Mansion and the local government, it would probably be impossible to find out if it is so long ago.
"I have checked. They also used gunpowder and manpower to send it outside the city. They attacked the enemy camp under the cover of night and succeeded." Peng Ze had obviously done his homework in advance or was instructed by Yang Tinghe to investigate this matter, so he was able to answer the question smoothly.
.
"That's it." Yang Tinghe sighed, "No wonder Tang Yin had to sacrifice the near for the distant, and despite the huge resistance from the court, he sent troops to lure the enemy first, even at the expense of his own side! Without His Majesty's protection, he would probably have died.
There would be no such battle as the day before yesterday. Ahem..."
At this point, Yang Tinghe coughed violently again.
Jiang Mian said: "Jiefu, now we are going to use Tang Yin in the northwest to control military affairs? He has only been able to serve as an official in the dynasty for only one year."
If you are promoted like this after so many years, I'm afraid you will follow in the footsteps of your predecessors."
According to Jiang Mian's intention, we can't just let Tang Yin get promoted at a rocket speed, right?
Then Tang Yin's next step will be to become Liu Jin, Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and others?
Yang Tinghe did not answer this question.
Obviously, in Yang Tinghe's view, or in the eyes of the world, there are fundamental differences between Tang Yin and Jiang Bin and his like. After all, Tang Yin was an orthodox scholar, or an emperor's teacher. He was capable, and the military exploits he achieved in the northwest were all due to his true ability.
Come on, there has to be a reason for suppression, right?
"Zhongtang, if Tang Yin's general system is used to promote the surrounding military affairs, how should Chen Yuxue be arranged?" Peng Ze is now more concerned about how to arrange his party members.
In the past six months, Chen Jiuchou had been under huge pressure to promote the governor-general, but now he was easily replaced with no achievements?
You don’t even have a place to settle down, do you? “We’ll discuss this later.”
Yang Tinghe didn't want to talk about this issue at this time. He was already very tired.
In other words, facing the military affairs in the northwest, he was exhausted mentally and physically and could no longer cope with complex human affairs.
Not surprisingly, Yang Tinghe submitted a petition, citing his old age and illness, and requested to return to his hometown as an official.
If Yang Tinghe's resignations in the past were all accompanied by a pretentious attitude, this time he really has the intention of retiring.
But the emperor still did not agree, and continued to commend Yang Tinghe and gave him a lot of money and silk, saying it was for condolences. He asked Huang Jin, the admiral of Dongchang, to take someone to deliver it to him. He looked extremely polite and beat gongs and drums during the delivery process.
It seems that Yang Tinghe's great achievements are to be publicized to the outside world.
Yang Tinghe felt that the little emperor was difficult to deal with.
Or maybe he is really indispensable as the backbone of the court now. Even if there are many conflicts between the monarch and his ministers on the northwest issue, it seems like the emperor wins in the end. But in fact, as long as Yang Tinghe says a word, he can bring down Tang Yin. But this
Yang Tinghe did not do this the next time.
The good news about Juyongguan reached Nanjing on the 22nd of the winter lunar month, and Zhu Hao learned the details from Luo An.
At this time, Zhu Hao still had not returned to the capital from Nanjing. He had never completed the layout of the workshop in Nanjing, but he was ready to set off. The only step left was to meet Xu Pengju.
With the matter of Juyongguan and Tang Yin successfully promoted to Governor of Xuanda, Zhu Hao finally had the confidence to let Xu Pengju show his face.
He specifically asked Luo An to send someone to the Duke of Wei's mansion, and directly as the envoy of Fusi Town, Jinyiwei North Town, invite Xu Pengju to meet in the other courtyard where Huang Zan had arranged to receive Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun before entering the city.
The invitation letter gave the exact date, the 24th of the winter lunar month, and Zhu Hao was planning to leave for Beijing on the afternoon of the 24th.
"...Sir, it seems that the Duke of Wei may not come due to his humble position. When the situation in the court is unclear, he must be trying to fish in troubled waters. I am afraid he is still thinking about negotiating terms with us."
Based on Luo An's understanding of Xu Pengju in the past two months, the Dukes of Wei in the past have been stationed in Nanjing for a long time, and all they thought about was how to protect themselves. Such a figure who is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of Jiangnan soldiers and horses does not mean that your emperor can win over him if he wants.
Whoever you support may become emperor.
Although the Nanjing garrison officials were held hostage by the Nanjing garrison eunuchs and the Nanjing Ministry of War, most of the generals in the army were their trusted subordinates.
The Nanjing Ministry of War is no longer under the control of Yang Tinghe. After Wang Shouren, the former Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing, lost his father's death, the current Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing is Liao Ji. This person did not firmly side with Yang Tinghe in the ceremony, and even praised Zhang Cong's ideas.
This person will also be feared by Yang Tinghe. If historical development is followed, this person will be impeached by Yan Guan at the end of the year and be removed from his post.
In other words, it seems that the emperor is vaguely in control of the Nanjing garrison eunuchs and the Nanjing Ministry of War. There are changes in the northwest with the rise of Tang Yin. If Xu Pengju insists on not seeing it and Luo An leaves, then Xu Pengju will definitely know that he is
The next person targeted by the emperor, he could only try to get closer to Yang Tinghe... But there were rumors from outside that Duke Cheng, Zhu Fu, often met Yang Tinghe secretly in the capital...
Then his final choice must be to side with the new emperor.
Near noon on the 24th, Xu Pengju came to the door.
Shouting in front and supporting behind, the generals brought
There are hundreds of them. He probably wants to guard against being directly taken down by the new emperor for questioning and seizing power, so he is very cautious about his own safety.
But when he led his staff into the courtyard and saw that there were only Luo An and a young man in the attic, he felt relieved and asked the soldiers following him to retreat outside the courtyard.
"I, Luo An, the envoy of Fusi Town in Jinyiwei North Town, have met Wei Guogong."
Luo An held a ceremony to Xu Peng.
When Xu Pengju saw that Luo An didn't even have a sword on his waist, he immediately felt relieved. He nodded slightly as he approached and glanced at Zhu Hao.
He didn't pay attention to the young man standing beside him.
Xu Pengju's broad and round face showed that he was not the kind of person to lead an army. It is likely that a nobleman of his level would be pampered when he reaches a certain age.
Sitting on the preset seats, the soft cushions were brought by Xu Pengju's people.
"Your Majesty, it is said that there is an edict from His Majesty?" Xu Pengju asked with a bit of arrogance.
He really didn't think much of the mere envoy of Fusi Town in Jinyiweibei Town.
The nobles of the Ming Dynasty can be said to exist beyond the order of the court, especially the hereditary nobles like Xu Pengju. Their family background is strong, the power is spread throughout the court, and everyone in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is connected to each other, not like the Zhang family brothers.
The ministers of Xingjin can compare.
Comparing Xu Pengju to the Zhang brothers is a bit like the difference between aristocrats and nouveau riche.
Luo An said: "Your Majesty has a decree."
When Xu Pengju heard this, he realized that it was true. Then he just stood up, cupped his hands and prepared to receive the order.
However, Luo An did not put out the decree on paper, but only announced it orally: "Your Majesty decreed that the Duke of Wei had made great contributions in guarding Nanjing and had contributed a lot in supporting the king. He would reward him with a hundred taels of gold and a handle of Ruyi jade at his discretion."
.”
After saying that, Luo An pointed to the people holding wooden boxes next to him, meaning that all the rewards for you are there.
"Um?"
Xu Pengju thought it was too formal and wanted to take it calmly. But after hearing Luo An's words, he couldn't face it calmly.
