Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 85: Lead the army into the palace
In the front room, the three old patrons, six sangshu and the rotating minister were anxiously awaiting news from Dongnuan Pavilion. The heavy rain whipped the ground like a whip, and their hearts twitched constantly.
These veterans are mostly gray-haired, and they can only hear the wind and thunder from the outside in the room, but a few people are silent, just watching the direction of Palace of Heavenly Purity, full of worry.
There was a thunder that shook the sky and the earth violently slammed, and several old men who were caught off guard shivered, and with another flash of lightning, a figure flashed into the room, preaching loudly: "The holy !"
Several veterans stood up when they heard the words, and Ma Wensheng, the official secretary, shivered with excitement, and said repeatedly: "Duke Zhang, the emperor is awake? How is the emperor?"
Liu Jian and others are also full of excitement. As the head of the cabinet, he suppressed his emotions and paid homage to the **** Zhang Gonggong: "The ministers wait for the order."
All the lords woke up and worshipped together. Zhang Gonggong said: "The emperor's verbal message, I bow and be safe, and all the loves do not need to be cared. All the loves are the pillars of the country. You should not be too tired, and you should go back to your house to rest. , Sent off by a chariot sent by the imperial horse in the palace. Tomorrow the dynasty meeting will be closed, and everything in the DPRK will be decided by three academicians."
Gonggong Zhang passed his will and turned around to leave. Liu Daxia was anxious. He jumped up and stopped Zhang Gonggong and said: "Duke Zhang, how is the saint dragon body, what the emperor can say?"
Liu Daxia is the love minister of Hongzhi Emperor. Although Zhang Gonggong is one of the four chiefs of the Superintendent of Rites, he does not dare to offend him, but can he just say it casually? Grandpa Zhang had to say: "Master Liu, don't embarrass our family, don't you understand these rules?"
Liu Daxia was stunned, and let go of the hand holding his sleeve, seeing that the emperor’s condition is not mild, otherwise he would tell them to go back to the mansion to rest without seeing them, and the news was so tightly blocked. ?
Seeing that Zhang Gonggong was out of the court room, Ma Wensheng paused heavily and said to Jiao Fang, who was on duty at that day, "Lao Jiao, you will keep the news from Dongnuan Pavilion tonight, if the emperor... ...The emperor is calling for urgent matters, don't delay."
Hongzhi Emperor likes to use the old man, this staff member right servant Jiao Fang is also a seventy-year-old white-haired old man, but he is very energetic, and his body is very tough. He understands the meaning of Ma Shang’s words and is deep Knowing the importance of this matter, after listening to his instructions, he hurriedly said, "Yes, you can rest assured, the next official is always waiting, don't dare to neglect."
Ma Wensheng nodded. At this time, the imperial horse supervisor outside the door had already drove to the door, and the emperor sent a car to send it off. This grace is that these veterans had never received it before. At this time, there was no joy in seeing it. When boarding the car in the rain, Li Dongyang looked at the direction of Palace of Heavenly Purity while standing on the shaft of the car. From a distance, I saw the lights glowing like the day, and the palace ladies and eunuchs came in and out. The atmosphere was very tense, and I couldn't help but sigh.
Empress Zhang, Prince Zhu Houzhao, Yongfu, and Yongchun two princesses guarded outside the Dongnuan Pavilion. Although they were separated by one door, they could only pass through the **** and the most important relatives inside. There was some news in the mouth of the imperial doctors, and they were not allowed to enter unless Hongzhi was summoned.
In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Hongji leaned on the pillow, and was startled by the sound of the heavy rain in his ears. Wang Yue, Miao Kui, and Fan Ting knelt in front of them, with their foreheads close to the ground, and they did not dare to come out.
Hongzhi suffered a serious illness a year ago, and it took more than a month to raise it, but this time he suddenly fainted at the court, and he woke up after a whole day of rescue. He knew that his body was exhausted, and this time was really limited. Not far.
He is a superstitious person. Now, after the severe drought in Beijing Normal University, there was a sudden heavy rain, and shortly after he fainted, when he wanted to come, this was the most obvious sign given to him by the heavens: I am the emperor, and the gods hang down. Tears, storms and storms, isn't it just that I am going to die?
He sighed, thinking about the son who made him feel uneasy. He was not very old when he took the throne, but although his son is now 15, his temperament is jumpy and not stable enough. That is by no means the courtier’s mind. In the image of a qualified king.
This son is energetic and intelligent, but he is like a wild horse and cannot bear the slightest restraint. He originally thought that his older son would be calm, and now it is time to give him the world. He... ...Can it work?
He glanced at the three most favored internal officials who knelt before him tremblingly. They are loyal and indifferent to themselves, but if they change to the young prince, can they still do this? loyalty? Or is it gradually relying on power and self-respect, and relying on ministers to suppress the Lord? They can hold Great Ming's most elite three battalions and the largest secret agent organization.
Hongji can’t help worrying. Although the princes of various regions have been cut off from the three guards, they may not have no ambitions. The account book of the greedy general Baoshen, presented to him by Yang Ling a few days ago, made him more alert. The generals of the Zhongdai Beijing camp are extremely generous, and a third-rank senior can actually break the military law for some petty profits. If the princes of various places grant jewelry beauties, can no one be bought?
Besides, the production of ammunition for the Jingying Fire Gun is extremely secret in the military. At this time, it is not that any craftsman can produce the most sophisticated firearms and ammunition. Those who claim to buy firearms to protect themselves against theft The place is powerful and powerful. After Jin Yiwei's investigation, it was completely fictional. The whereabouts of the ammunition was unknown. The number of firearms is not a concern. Those who are worried are afraid that someone will find a craftsman to copy it.
Fire guns lost to the cavalry in the north, but they are excellent weapons in the paddy fields, jungles, and mountains in the south. It is the best weapon that the princes who have been cut off from the three guards and can’t train their troops can quickly equip an army. Who can choose and buy firearms? Is it the king of Chu, King Ning, or the king of Wu? These must be prevented.
Hiroji thought in a daze, he sighed for a long while, and said tiredly: "Imitation".
, the eunuch, the superintendent Bingbi, who was behind the small red sandalwood table, hurriedly responded, and caught a wolf. He only heard Hongzhi breathe for a while, and said: "The first order, Wei Guogong Xu Li After holding the Shenji battalion for 20 years, the imperial command was not strict and the military discipline was lax. The military officers privately sold military resources and corrupted the discipline. Today, the Shenji battalion officer is removed as a punishment. For the time being, the British father Guo Xun is in charge of military affairs."
He calmed down and said: "The second decree, the 4th battalions of Wuxiang, Tengxiang, Zuowei, and Rightwei, the guards of the horse, transferred out of the palace and stationed in Ninetowns. The three thousand battalions patrolled the capital, the five military battalions, and the gods. The machine battalion is divided into the capital, and the left sentinel army of the divine machine battalion enters the palace."
Miao Kui leaned lower after listening to a witty cold war. The emperor suddenly adjusted his defenses, apparently because the four battalions of the imperial horse guard were stationed in the palace for a long time. This was defensive, but the emperor made a decrement in his own face and obviously still trusted him personally. For a while, Miao Kui's heart turned over and over again. Can't tell what it's like.
Hongzhi felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. He insisted: "The third decree is to garrison troops in various guards, guard the pass, and guard the whole army. All kings must not leave the fief without permission. I want to enter Beijing, otherwise I will be punished with conspiracy!"
He said a decree, the **** Bingbi knocked his head, and then lifted the pen without writing. After listening to the **** Bingbi's writing, Hongzhi read it hurriedly and said, "That's it, let's go down and use the seal."
Hongji said and waved his hand again: "You all go down first, call the prince in, I want to talk to him."
Yang Ling walked into the court room. This court room was a long room with dim light. Because the emperor was critically ill, the court meeting had stopped. The room was now deserted and there was only one civil official who was slumping. With his back turned to him, he fell asleep on the table.
Yang Ling didn't alarm him either, and went to a chair in the corner and sat down, leaning against the back of the chair, only feeling a sore back.
When I came out from Jin Yiwei that day, Yang Ling wanted to go home first. The horse arrived at Huguo Temple Street and saw that the lights in the courtyard had been turned off. I didn’t want to disturb Youniang, so I rushed back to the mountain overnight. Fortunately, he didn’t delay the court. His decree is also true to the wind and rain. He entered the handsome tent on the front foot, and the decree on the back foot came.
Yang Ling, who has never rested at all, immediately led his army back to Beijing. This road is even more difficult, and it is much slower than his sprinting alone. Five thousand officers and soldiers walked for three days and one night, and only returned today. Jingshi.
Yang Ling had already overwhelmed the imperial decree outside the court room, but after a while, the **** had not called him in. Yang Ling remembered the condition of the emperor now, and seemed to be unsure when he could see him, so he hid in I want to rest for a while. Yang Ling straightened both legs, let out a long sigh, closed his eyes and rested in a daze.
I don’t know when I heard a sound of footsteps. The half-asleep Yang Ling opened his eyes and saw a few strangers walking in. There could be five or six people, all three- and four-rank civilians, Yang Ling Seeing that it had nothing to do with it, he closed his eyes again to rest.
In the past few days, the three bachelors still have offices in the palace, and the various departments have come into the palace when they need to decide things. The civil officials have just submitted official documents to the bachelors, because several of them are urgently awaiting approval Yes, I came to the room and waited temporarily.
The eyes of these adults were almost so, and no one could see a military officer sitting in the dim corner, so they sat down on the bench and started talking. The Minister Zuo Shi Lang Wang Ao said with anxiety and authenticity: "The emperor's dragon body is insecure, and the ruling and the opposition are shocked. The past few days have not been good. The three academicians can't be arbitrary in many things. How can this be good?"
Zhanshi Yang Fang comforted: "Wang Da people don't need to worry, I heard that the emperor has decreed that the East Palace and the Sangong have discussed politics, and the prince is the crown prince. At this moment, some things can be the master of his majesty."
Wang Ao sighed: "The prince is young, and I don't know the suffering of the people. If he is late to give instructions, I don't know how many victims have suffered."
The lying on-duty officer heard the voice woke up, turned around and saw that it was Wang Ao and couldn't help but smile and said, "It turns out to be Jizhi, I said it sounds familiar."
Wang Ao only then saw that the duty officer lying on the table dozing off is the right servant Jiao Fang, and he hurriedly said: "It turns out that it is Master Jiao on duty, how about the emperor's dragon body?"
Jiao Fang shook his head, opened his mouth and was about to speak, when an old **** came in with a pile of memorials. This **** was the **** Liu Jin who served in the East Palace. The prince was ordered by the emperor to perform his duties on behalf of his father and discuss the affairs of the three justices, so he brought several powerful eunuchs with him. Of course, they are nothing more than censorships to be sent and detained. It is not a big deal to pass on officials who need to be questioned.
But Liu Jin was originally a humble **** who only hit Jingyang Bell at the Department of Bells and Drums, knocked on Sichen Drums, and was an inconspicuous eunuch. Now he is holding the imperial edict and summons the ministers of the imperial court, although What he did was an errand guy, but he was only in touch with first-class characters, and he couldn't help feeling "*" in his heart.
Especially now that the emperor is critically ill, the Donggong’s ascension to the throne has been a matter of seconds. As a person trusted by the prince, his future is infinitely bright. Thinking of this, Liu Jin's enthusiasm for work suddenly rises, in the Jinshen Hall and Wenhua Hall. Waiting for the three bachelor's offices and running around the room all day, he did not feel hard.
At this time, he was holding the papers from the two officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The two of them accepted and thanked him. Liu Jin accepted it with a smile, as if he had approved it. Feel glorious.
Wang Ao asked: "This father-in-law, Xinyang floods, hasn't the paper for famine report been approved yet?"
Liu Jin said: "What our family received is only the papers from the Ministry of Engineering and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I think the three college graduates have not read those papers."
Wang Ao paused and said: "I added the word "urgent", so why didn't I give a reply? Xinyang is flooded and the people have no food and clothing. The court should promptly exempt taxes and provide food for disaster relief. What if the delay provokes civil upheaval?"
Liu Jin suddenly remembered listening to several eunuchs in the palace talking about the fact that hundreds of local officials had lied about the year of the disaster, and they had avoided taxation. I couldn’t help but smile and said: "My lord, don’t worry, it’s just entered May. It's so early? Maybe it was Feng Sui who reported the famine year. Maybe it was the magistrate and the courtier of Xinyang from Chaozhong who were embarrassed to buy a good place and gain fame. Adults have to check it out."
Coincidentally, the servant Wang Ao happened to be from Xinyang. When he heard the words of Liu Jin, how could he tolerate him, he was furious, slammed the table and said: "The father-in-law should not spray people with blood. , Is this famine incident still false? What do you know about the events of North Korea? Don’t be silly!"
Liu Jin was flushed with his reprimand, and his face was a bit uncontrollable, and he couldn’t help but sneered with shame and annoyance: "Our family is also talking about the methods used by dirty officials and corrupt officials. Yes, yes, no, no adults. That embarrassing person, why bother to be so upset and tell others to look at you and say you have a guilty conscience."
Zhan Shi Yang Fang next to is also a gifted man from Xinyang. He immediately sneered and said: "If you cheat, then you should show evidence of cheating. Could it be that you just rely on your three-inch tongue to slander? Do you have the ability?"
Liu Jin is angry: "Grandma, our family kindly reminds you not to be deceived by the magistrates, one and a half of them, who are a few years older than me, are so stunned, our family Did you provoke you?"
He forgot his superiors and inferiority for a while, and he did not say in a good manner: "If we go to our family to find evidence, what do you want to do in the hall? I only said that it might be collusion with officials, and I didn't say that it must be. If you are not guilty, how can you step on your tail? What are you?"
The old Yang Fang man was furious and stood up and shouted sharply: "I am a third-ranking member of the imperial court, what are you castrates who don’t even know about saint books, and are worthy to speak in the court room?"
Liu Jin was being scolded as an **** in front of him. It was touching his taboo. For a moment, his face was red and purple, and he didn't care about it. He stepped forward with a palm, hitting the old man Yang’s face, Yang Fang. Screaming strangely, Yan stretched out his five fingers and scratched Liu Jin. There were five fingerprints on Liu Jin's face. An old scholar and an old **** roared and scuffled together.
Wang Ao and other friends saw that the **** dared to beat the imperial order officer in the court room, and immediately rushed into a group. There were also those who were not familiar with Yang Fang, but they were both civil servants, and they were unavoidable with the enemy. They pretended to persuade them and just grabbed them with both hands. Holding Liu Jin on his shoulders, Yang Fang got a gap, and Liu Jin suddenly suffered two old punches.
Yang Ling sat in the dark and was awakened by their quarrel early on. He also saw the dispute between them. Although the historical Liu Jin was a wicked person who couldn’t be more bad, he didn’t say anything about it today. If it is too much, Xinyang may indeed have sent a flood, but it is not uncommon to falsely report a famine year, buy a good place, and seek promotion capital for oneself, just ignore him if you say it is wrong, why bother to make such a big fire.
Because of such a thing, so many aggressive old men fought in groups. It was really boring. Yang Ling rushed over in an angry and funny way and pulled Liu Jin out of the crowd.
Several adults saw a military attache who broke out to save people, and couldn't help but angrily said: "Who are you, this castration is sinister, slanderous, and slander the court minister, how dare you intervene to save him?"
Yang Ling was a little annoyed when he heard that, he frowned and said, "My elders, you don’t need to put a hat on such a small thing, right? Today’s matter is just because of his unintentional words. Everyone will step back. Why be aggressive?"
Liu Jin was pulled to a shabby hair, and the person who rescued him was Yang Ling~IndoMTL.com~ Suddenly he opened his throat like a loved one: "Master Yang, look, look, what's this like? What did I say, they are too bullying."
is arguing here, a little **** stood at the door and called: "Which is Yang Ling Master Yang, the emperor summoned!" After speaking, the little **** was also taken aback.
Yang Fang and others have heard the name of Yang Ling for a long time, but did not recognize him. At this time, when I heard that this person was Yang Ling, I couldn't help but froze there. Yang Ling took the opportunity to pull out the Liu Jin with five **** blood on his face. It was a good deal of comfort, and Liu Jin cried away and went to Zhu Houzhao to file a complaint.
Yang Ling followed the little **** and entered the Qianqing Gate, and went straight to the harem, and just turned the moon gate of a curved corridor, a girl with a palace dress hurriedly snatched it out from behind the rattan shelf, and she was caught off guard. , The girl rushed into his arms.
Yang Ling hurriedly supported her, the girl yelled, she jumped out of Yang Ling's arms with a blushing face, rubbed her sour nose, her eyes matched the man’s gaze in front of her, and the beautiful girl suddenly stunned. Living.
She stared at Yang Ling, and suddenly rushed over in surprise. She stepped forward to his arm and exclaimed excitedly: "It turns out that it is General Yang, hurry, hurry, follow me to save people, Emperor Brother is chasing and killing Uncle Guo".
