In the silence, the huge Beijing camp has changed its owner. However, unlike the unlucky ending that Baoguo Gong Zhu Huiman thought, Zhu Houzhao glanced at him sideways, but said nothing more and directly ordered him and Miao
Kui tidied them up and down, and asked Wuding Marquis Guo Liang to assist him, and then drove them all out. He also drove Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche out to inspect the camp. After the order was completed, Miao Kui and Shenying returned.
He took over the 12th Regiment Battalion, leaving only Xu Xun behind.
When there were no other people around, Zhu Houzhao lost his calm look in front of others. After sitting down, he suddenly raised his head and asked: "Xu Xun, do you think I am really unreliable and inaccurate?"
use?"
If he hadn't received Huitong's tip earlier, Xu Xun would never have thought that Zhu Houzhao got a sap from Zhou Qiniang by accident, so he indulged himself in Xiyuan and never returned. But now that he knows, of course not
He would be foolishly flattering, but seemed to think seriously for a while, then nodded first, and then shook his head.
Now it was Zhu Houzhao who was confused. He asked with a dark face: "What do you mean, you are nodding and shaking your head, playing riddles with me? Tell me what you have to say, I am not a three-year-old child anymore."
, I can bear it! In fact, I know what you want to say even if you don’t tell me. Just a few months after you left, such a big thing happened in Beijing. The emperor even slipped out of the palace overnight. I really
What a disgrace to my father! Those people are not just here for Liu Jin and the others. They don’t like that I like to make my own decisions in everything and always act against common sense. Otherwise, why would they transfer Miao Kui away?
, put Shenying under house arrest, and keep the 12th regiment of the Beijing Camp under close watch, they clearly want to force me to kill the people around me!"
It was more regretful than angry. Therefore, before Xu Xun could speak, Zhu Houzhao suddenly leaned back heavily, raised his head and stared blankly at the roof, and whispered: "I didn't go there on purpose."
, I just feel unhappy... As the emperor, I am not allowed to do this or that. I am not as good as Xu Yanche, Qi Jiliang and other noble disciples, not to mention that I can't even marry a woman I like... Do you know
, the Empress Mother has invited the Empress Dowager, and is about to select a concubine for me... Humph, they said it was for me to choose in the end, but among the three, it is either this one or that one. Is there anything good to see? I am troubled just thinking about it.
, but the seventh sister is still stabbing me in the heart, saying that I am obsessed with having fun and not doing government affairs. I am really disappointed!"
After listening to Zhu Houzhao saying such a lot of words in one breath, and seeing the little emperor looking up to the sky in trance, Xu Xun moved the chair under him closer, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty knows why I just did this again
Nodding, or shaking his head? What he means by nodding is that the emperor's temperament is too impulsive. What he says is wind and rain. In the eyes of the ministers, it means that the order changes from day to day. In the eyes of women, it means that the wind and wind are not reliable enough. As for shaking the head
What I mean is that I want to say that the emperor’s intentions are good and that he wants to inherit the late emperor’s long-cherished wish to pacify the four seas and govern the world. This determination is true, and from this point of view, it is the greatest reliability.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao sat up straight. Although his face was a little happy, he was also a little confused. Knowing that his words were effective, Xu Xun said seriously: "The emperor is the king of a country. He feels that he does not have freedom. Naturally
It’s because there are many things that are higher than the king of a country, including etiquette, rules and regulations. In fact, why don’t the officials in the court abide by these? Marriage has always relied on the parents’ orders and the words of the matchmaker, regardless of the success of the ministers.
, that's also good luck, and Yue'er was not decided by her adoptive father long ago? Miss Zhou said those words to the emperor, firstly because she didn't know your identity, and secondly because of the rumors in the palace, it is actually very easy to reverse these,
As long as there is enough time, it will be fine, but you are getting married soon, so you can’t keep hiding your identity from her?”….
"this……"
"So, the most important thing right now is what the emperor plans to do today!"
Xu Xun did not intend to get involved in the emperor's housework, so when his words reached this point, he immediately changed the subject. After the initial burst of catharsis, Zhu Houzhao's mood had improved a lot, and now he held his chin
He thought about it seriously. After a while, he said categorically: "The fault of this matter is not with Liu Jin and others, but with me. It was because I couldn't think of anything and ruined government affairs! If the cabinet ministers just wanted me to rush
If we leave them, I can reluctantly agree to temporarily transfer them to Nanjing or Tailing Sixiang, and then transfer them back later, but they must kill people quickly, so I will never agree!"
Among the Eight Tigers, there were only others. Xu Xun had always been a little wary of Liu Jin. It can be seen that the little emperor had such an attitude. Naturally, he would not be ignorant of what to do with a provocateur to scare the monkeys and make the ministers calm down. Therefore.
, when he saw Zhu Houzhao clenching his fist and knocking on the armrest, he said thoughtfully: "In that case, I heard that there will be hundreds of officials coming to the palace to express their feelings tomorrow morning. Why don't the emperor draft an edict to forgive the eight of them?
, this edict will be sent out tomorrow."
"Well, that's what you said." Zhu Houzhao nodded heavily, then frowned and said, "Although the letters written by Han Wen and others are in series with each other, after all, I was wrong in the first place. Liu Jin and others are also responsible for not admonishing them. These people who wrote the letter said something
I can leave them alone for the time being. Zhu Hui, the Duke of Guoguo, and Guo Liang, the Marquis of Wuding, have a hand in tonight's affairs, so they can stay at home! However, not only does the cabinet know about it, but the activities of these military camps must be theirs.
Trouble...Xu Xun, as we said before, we will select the elites from the 12 regiments and battalions to set up the left and right offices, and appoint the generals and generals. This general will be for you. I don't worry about others. You can choose the officers from top to bottom!"
"I accept the decree!"
This time was unusual, Xu Xun certainly would not refuse, he stood up and saluted to accept the order.
After the news about Fu Que's letter spread, Zhu Houzhao left in a hurry, and the Xiyuan University Campus, which had been in full swing for a whole month, fell silent unconsciously. Of course, several monks and warriors from the Western Regions were in panic all day long, for fear that the ministers would expose them.
After turning over Liu Jin and others, they followed closely to cause trouble for themselves. Even Qian Ning was restless. When Xu Xun left, he handed over all the avant-garde of the government army to him, but he just followed the little emperor and flattered him.
He didn't even bother to pay attention to other things. If Liu Jin and others were killed one by one now, Xu Xun would definitely be following them. How could he run away next?
Therefore, that night, he was like an ant on a hot pot, spinning around. However, Liu Jin and others usually didn't look up or down to see each other, but now he wanted to see him but had no way to see him. He was a foreign minister, not Xu Xun, and the important place in the palace was
He didn't even think about taking a step forward. As for leaving the palace, he tried once at Xi'an Gate, but was politely blocked. Because of this experience, he even felt that he had become a caged bird, flying again and again.
He couldn't sleep and couldn't sleep well. He walked around for a long time, until there was a noise outside, and he immediately forced himself to calm down and showed a calm expression.
"Master Qian."
What he saw was a strange eunuch, at least he had never seen it before, but he was wearing a bright red robe that was only worn by high-ranking officials. He also walked with a somewhat conceited air. Qian Ning's eyelids twitched and he stood up immediately.
He came and asked in a somewhat doubtful and uneasy tone: "It's me who dare to ask this father-in-law..."
"Our Royal Horse Eunuch Xu Zhi." The visitor nodded slightly. When he saw that the young army who had followed him in quietly exited the room under Qian Ning's eyes, he waved his hand and declined Qian Ning's invitation to sit down and talk.
With good intentions, he said straightforwardly, "We are here today on the orders of the Queen Mother. Liu Jin and others have committed a serious crime by deceiving the superiors. Now the cabinet and department are talking about death, and Mr. Qian is single-handedly fighting against the rebellion."
Wouldn't it be a pity if a great hero who was awarded the title of admiral ended up in ruins because of these eunuchs? The Queen Mother said, at this time of year, it's time for you to take responsibility for your crimes and perform meritorious service!"...
Qian Ning was calm on the surface, but secretly he was frightened. When he was fighting for his future on the battlefield, he could risk everything, but now that he has become famous and sees glory and wealth right in front of his eyes, this sudden experience is like the sky is falling. His mood goes up and down.
He hesitated for a long time, and then asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Xu, please tell me how to make meritorious deeds."
"It's very simple. Early tomorrow morning, you take these five hundred guards to guard the Meridian Gate of the Palace City and the Xuanwu Gate of Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate. Don't let Liu Jin and the other two who went to Chengqian Palace escape. And tonight, you
We need to capture Ma Yongcheng and others who are still in the imperial city overnight!"
These two words made Qian Ning's eyelids jump. He is not an idiot. After doing these two things, it would be enough to completely break with Liu Jin and others. But the question is, what will the little emperor think of him? Although Xu Xun left before
He had never given any instructions at that time, and he might not have been prepared for this encounter, but those bosses liked to label people as traitors. He had no friendship with Li Rong and the other chief ministers, and he had even more
There is no bargaining chip at all. If someone tricked him into defecting and then threw him out like a pair of broken shoes, he would not end well!
At this point, if one of us dies, we might as well give it a try!
Seeing Qian Ning standing there with a gloomy expression, Xu Zhi thought that he could not make up his mind yet, so he lowered his face and said: "Master Qian, this is the last chance given to you by the Queen Mother. If you don't know how to change your past,
By then..."
"What will happen then? Then I will end up like Eunuch Liu and the others?" Qian Ning suddenly took a step forward, sneered, and actually grabbed Xu Zhi's collar, "Do you think I, Qian Ning, am
Who? I dare to lead a group of rabble out of the fortress. I dare to drag one person into Shacheng and assassinate the two Tatar leaders Qian Ning, the commander of the forward guard of the government. Even the emperor did not hesitate to praise the warrior.
! If I am so intimidated by you, all my martial arts training will be in vain! Someone, drag this bitch down! What is the Queen Mother’s decree? The Queen Mother will never stab the emperor in the heart at this time! "
"Well said!"
Hearing this voice suddenly, Qian Ning was startled and couldn't help but loosen his grip. He was relieved when he saw that the person who suddenly broke in was Ma Qiao, who had been responsible for the garrison outside the city. See
The two young soldiers who followed Ma Qiao rushed forward and twisted Xu Zhi's arms. He couldn't help but ask: "Old Ma, how did you get in?"
"Forget it, it took a lot of effort, but fortunately I found the right person. Now the main thing is to prevent people from leaving the palace and not preventing people from entering the palace. I may not be able to get in. Didn't you see that I still
Are you wearing these clothes?"
Xu Zhi didn't expect Qian Ning to have a different judgment than when Wang Yue discussed with him before. Not only did he not fight back at the critical moment, he even turned against him. At this moment, he saw another middle-aged man who was familiar with Qian Ning come in.
The tone of voice came from someone outside the palace, and he was shocked and angry for a moment.
"You...you want to rebel, but you dare to enter the palace secretly..."
Snap——
Before he finished speaking, Ma Qiao rushed forward, gave Xu Zhi a hard slap, and tore off a piece of his clothes, rolled it up into a ball, stuffed it into the person's mouth, and then clapped his hands.
Said: "Rebellion, it is you who want to rebel, not us. The emperor is still here, the queen mother is still here, you dare to falsely convey the decree, deceive and abduct you, you have rebelled!"
After scolding him angrily, he looked at Qian Ning and said, "You probably didn't pay attention in the palace before. The palace and the city were under stricter security than usual. Jinyiwei and Xichang were all watched.
When I got up, not even a fly could fly out, so there was no sound of wind coming in beforehand."
Although he had already guessed this, Qian Ning still took a deep breath. After the two young soldiers took the struggling Xu Zhi down, he grabbed Ma Qiao and asked in a deep voice: "Then what should we do now?
"….
"Hold the dead eunuch just now, but don't act rashly. We will act according to the opportunity tomorrow. It will be fine if the emperor comes forward. If those elders keep forcing each other and involve us adults, then we have no choice but to fight with them. After all, everyone will be prosperous.
It’s a humiliation. Your Majesty, we most likely won’t be able to survive without our army’s vanguard! As long as we stand on the Emperor’s side, and those elders don’t dare to risk the world’s disgrace and send troops into the palace, we can still give it a try when the time comes!”
"Okay, I'll do as you say! It's now time, let's see who dares to risk it all!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Master Qian, Master Ma, Eunuch Liu is here!"
The Wenyuan Pavilion in the northeast corner of the palace was also brightly lit that night. Although Li Rong, Chen Kuan and Wang Yue went to Chengqian Palace to report to Zhu Houzhao, the three of them left there and all returned here. Compared with the previous Cabinet Pavilion
It is not possible for a minister to meet the emperor, and it is equally impossible to meet the eunuch, the eunuch. These days, Da Jue, the eunuch, and the cabinet ministers have frequent contacts, which can be regarded as a rare event after Xuande. However, when Chen Kuan politely
It was proposed that instead of forcing the emperor too much, it would be better to send Liu Jin and others to live in their new house in Nanjing. However, the chief assistant Liu Jian slapped the table without hesitation.
"It took such a long time to create such a momentum, and it took such a long time for the emperor to understand what the ministers were thinking. Is it just to give them a chance to make a comeback in the future? This is definitely not feasible! Before the death of the late emperor, he was obsessed with me.
We have been entrusted by our veterans to entrust the emperor and the important affairs of the government to us. Now that the late emperor has just been buried, and the soil of Tailing has not yet been dried, these treacherous ministers are holding the throne. How can I see the late emperor underground in the future? "
Liu Jian, the chief minister, said this, and Xie Qian, who always spoke fiercely, also said categorically: "If it were not to prevent these sycophants from jumping over the wall, why would we make such preparations in the Beijing Camp and the Twelfth Regiment Camp! Let's live in a new house in Nanjing.
...Not to mention others, when Eunuch Xiao went to Yuling to sell incense, how did he come back! In this position, you must not be kind to a woman! Even the emperor, he just treated these people as playthings like cats and dogs, besides, the government
Personal feelings are more important than personal feelings!"
When the matter came to this point, Li Rong glanced sideways at Chen Kuan. Although he was muttering about his benevolence as a woman, he did not speak. In fact, although he, the chief eunuch and eunuch in charge of etiquette, had been secretly advancing this matter from beginning to end,
But he always listened more and spoke less without expressing his opinion, because he was worried that Zhu Houzhao was still young and might settle the matter in the future. However, Wang Yue was not as slippery as Li Rong. At this moment, he did not let Wang Paozhan down at all.
Because of their reputation, they unhesitatingly agreed with Liu Jian and Xie Qian.
"Yuan Fu and Mr. Xie Ge are very right in what they say. We have done all we can to eradicate evil. How can we be open-minded at such a time?"
Li Dongyang saw Liu Jian and Xie Qian all looking at him, and after thinking for a moment, he was about to speak when a voice suddenly came from outside: "Yuanfu, Mr. Li Ge, Mr. Xie Ge, Mr. Yang, the general commander of the three sides of Shaanxi, Gansu and Yansui, has sent
Urgent message!"
Yansui had fought a wonderful counterattack before, and Yang Yiqing was highly regarded by everyone in the court. However, Yang Yiqing had a good relationship with Liu Daxia. Liu Daxia had recommended him many times before, and he was able to take up the post of trilateral president, but he also came from
Xu Xun's personal recommendation to the little emperor, therefore, Liu Jian, whether Xie Qian or Xie Qian, was always a little cold towards Yang Yiqing. Hearing this, Liu Jian signaled Li Dongyang with his eyes, and when Li Dongyang walked out the door knowingly, he
He said in a deep voice: "In short, tomorrow, Han Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue will once again lead the officials to Fugu. This is the opportunity to make the final decision!"
Li Dongyang left Liu Jian's room and saw a clerk who was often with him standing there waiting. He immediately stepped forward. However, before he could ask Yang Yiqing what urgent letter he had, the clerk
But he glanced around, quickly thrust a letter into Li Dongyang's hand, and then sent a memorial...
"Mr. Li Ge, something happened unexpectedly. Jiao Butang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs asked someone to send an urgent message. I happened to see a memorial coming from General Yang, so I had to take this step."
Hearing this, Li Dongyang couldn't help being stunned. He thought about it for a while, but without going back to the house, he opened Jiao Fang's letter under the lantern outside. He squinted and saw clearly the two lines of scrawled handwriting. He suddenly
He was stunned. Although he always kept his emotions and anger indifferent in front of outsiders, and now he only looked thoughtful, but his heart was actually churning violently.
Xu Xun is back? How is this possible! There have been reports from Nanjing that he is investigating the Chao Pass, and he has just captured the tax eunuch at Shangxinhe Pass, and left Nanjing for Hangzhou... Even if he really
After sneaking back quietly, Dongchang was still guarding the Tongzhou Pier, the land official road, and the nine gates of the capital. How could he not get the slightest news? Also, if Xu Xun came back but didn't show up, what was he doing now?
Li Dongyang suddenly thought of a great possibility, crumpled the letter into a ball for a moment, then turned to the clerk and nodded slightly, then turned and entered the room. He casually placed Yang Yiqing's memorial on the table, and saw that it was not there
No one cared about this. While he listened to the two parties discussing various solutions after dawn tomorrow, he quickly calculated the situation outside in his mind.
I'm just afraid that Xu Xun will go to the Beijing Camp and the 12th Regiment Camp to stir up troubles! However, Baoguo Gong and Wu Dinghou are both there. Xu Xun is determined to be unable to overturn the current situation, so it's better not to say it and disturb people's hearts.
, this is the middle of the night, it’s too late to do anything else!
In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, except for those who lived in the capital, most of the Hanlin Shuji scholars in this department were arranged in a large house in Nanxunfang, Yuhe Beiqiao. Firstly, it was close to the Hanlin Academy. Secondly, it was built for the Ministry of Industry at that time.
The old house where the Li Ke Shujishi lived, the layout and so on were all ready-made. Although this day was not a day off, there were major events in the court, and most of the people were discussing quietly in twos and threes based on their place of origin or friendship. It was late at night.
No one could sleep. But in a house to the west, a visitor came late at night and was having a late night chat with the owner by candlelight.
"Brother Bohu, do you really want to do this?"
"Of course it's true, otherwise why would I come back from Jiangnan on such a hot day?" Seeing that Xu Zhenqing was still hesitant, Tang Yin said sternly, "It's not like you don't know Mr. Xu. He will go to Fuque tomorrow. Please give me some advice."
Those of you who are acquaintances should not join in the fun. If you want to join in the fun, it is better to focus on more important matters. We are all from Jiangnan. You should know who Mr. Lin, the Minister of Civil Affairs in Nanjing, and Mr. Zhang, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment in Nanjing, are.
Very good, shouldn’t we recommend them?”
"There is no problem in recommending these two, but tomorrow... I'm afraid no one will listen even if I am willing to advise." Xu Zhenqing sighed and glanced out of the window, "There are so many sages, I'm afraid half of them will
Everyone wants to go with him. After all, Han Shangshu’s reputation for integrity is well known throughout the capital, and everyone is willing to join him... By the way, Master Xu asked you, Brother Bohu, to come?"
"How could he care about me? I was so busy that I regretted that I should not have followed him to Beijing rashly. I also secretly wanted to prevent others from being like me, who rashly plunged into the whirlpool of right and wrong that I had back then."
Tang Yin spread his hands, then looked at Xu Zhenqing seriously and said, "I know that you are now somewhat famous in Shilin in the capital... In this case, you don't want to say anything to persuade Fu Que, and you just get a group of people to recommend those two people.
That’s it. Recommending two of the famous Nandu Four Gentlemen is as important as impeaching a traitor. Besides, the two ministers, Ma and Liu, have successively served, and the court has been in an uproar. It’s time to recruit a few honorable gentlemen! Join Fukue,
When the time comes, success will be just the icing on the cake, but by recommending a good person, even if Fukuo fails, everyone will be able to provide help in times of need!”….
When Xu Zhenqing sent Tang Yin out, the door of the room opposite opened at the same time, but Zhan Ruoshui also sent a guest out. What's more coincidentally, someone came out of the room to the north almost at the same time. It was Yan Song who was yawning.
As he walked out of the threshold, three groups of people bumped into him at the same time. Yan Song was stunned and said with a smile what a coincidence. He crossed his hands and said he planned to go to the small shop opposite to buy some midnight snacks, so he walked straight away, leaving only two pairs left.
People face to face.
When Xu Xun was knighted, Wang Shouren, Zhan Ruoshui and Xu Zhenqing both went to the Xu Mansion to congratulate them, but Tang Yin and Xu Jing deliberately avoided it. Tang Yin was sure that no one knew him. However, he calmly talked to Xu Zhenqing calmly.
As I was saying goodbye, a voice suddenly came to my ears.
"Your Majesty, is this Gusu Tang Jieyuan?"
Xu Zhenqing saw that the person speaking was Zhan Ruoshui, and Wang Shouren on the side was surprised when he heard the words, and stared at Tang Yin's back with bright eyes. He couldn't help but feel that it was troublesome. He was about to cover up for Tang Yin, but he didn't want Tang Yin to turn his head in surprise.
After that, he looked at himself with inquiring eyes, but he had no intention of avoiding it. He had to bite the bullet and introduce the two of them. After meeting each other one by one, what he didn't expect at all was that Tang Yin actually came by himself.
Sheidi spoke to Zhan Ruoshui and Wang Shouren.
"I didn't expect to meet Brother Zhan and Chief Wang. It was an unexpected joy. I came to see Xiao Xu today because I wanted to ask him to invite his colleagues among the scholars to recommend gentlemen. I heard that Brother Zhan was once appointed by the Imperial College of Nanjing to be the Chief Secretary.
Cheng Zhizhi, having stayed in Nanjian for a while, I think he should be familiar with the two masters Zhang and Lin of Nandu. Nowadays, all the Procuratorates of the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of War and the Ministry of War are short of main halls, so it is time to recommend them to correct the atmosphere of the court!"
ps: Continuing with the two-in-one, I will give you a fraction of the 600 words, please vote for me monthly ^_^
The four things are so closely related that I am too lazy to separate them...
