Chapter 821: Wang Bang
According to the historical records of later generations, in May of the 39th year of Jiajing, Zhang Lian was proclaimed emperor at Bai Songguan on the border of Raoping and Dapo, called "the master of the flying dragon", and the country name was "Feilong".
This time and space did not produce a butterfly effect, and Zhang Lian also chose to capture Baisong Pass at this time after seeing the miners' riots in Jiangxi and other places, following the actions of Ming Taizu.
Of course, Zhang Lian's move takes a great risk, and at the same time, it also requires a lot of confidence.
If the behavior of the miners in Jiangxi and other places against the government is called a riot, the nature of this kind of emperor Jianyuan has completely changed, and the spearhead is directly aimed at the regime of the Ming Dynasty, which is already a great thief who will be punished by the nine clans.
In the face of this reactionary force called Emperor Jianyuan, the imperial court, whether it was out of face or for the sake of its own political power, was naturally the primary target of the imperial court, and even ranked ahead of the Japanese invaders.
All the Japanese want is money, but Zhang Lian, a thief, wants the world of the Ming Dynasty, and openly discovers a provocation against the Ming regime.
Yan Shifan looked at the military report about Zhang Lian's claim to be Emperor Jianyuan, and the only remaining eye was as wide as a bull's eye. He thought that the situation in Guangdong was the most optimistic, but he never expected that there would be a "king bomb".
The miners in Jiangxi and Fujian were at best riots, expressing their strong dissatisfaction with the ban on silver, but Zhang Lian wanted to be called Emperor Jianyuan and overthrow the Ming regime.
Syllable!
It was really a loud slap in the face of Yan Shifan, I thought it was a pigtail for Wang Bai and Lin Haoran, but it played a trick on reality.
The most important thing is that two high-ranking officials with far-sightedness in Guangdong were suspended by him for investigation, and even wanted to take the opportunity to rectify each other. But at the moment, it all proves the wisdom of these two people, if it weren't for the fact that they have been suppressing the ban on silver, once the miners in Guangdong riot, it will inevitably make Zhang Lian's momentum even stronger.
As soon as he thought of this, Yan Shifan felt powerless, and it was undoubtedly a big joke that he wanted to punish Wang Bai and Lin Haoran.
"Yan Shifan, look at what you've done!" After Yan Song heard the news, he immediately sat up from his chair and scolded angrily.
Yan Shifan faced the angry father, but muttered in a low voice, "Who knew it would be such a coincidence, this Zhang Lian will not be reversed sooner or later, but at this time!" Dad, what do you say now? ”
"What else can I do! Report to the emperor immediately, let people check the military situation, and purge Zhang Lian! Yan Song stood up with the handle of the chair, and was about to head towards the Wanshou Palace.
This Ming Dynasty has a "new emperor", and things are naturally not trivial. Zhang Lian is the target of the inevitable purge, and he must not be allowed to sit on this side, let alone give him the opportunity to divide the land and rule.
Yan Shifan helped his father to walk outside, and asked again, "Dad, are Wang Bai and Lin Haoran still checking?" ”
"What do you think?" Yan Song said hatefully.
Yan Shifan knew what his father meant, but he couldn't help but say, "Zhang Zhen is just the first governor of Liangguang, we have to support him!" ”
"Are you still thinking about Zhang Zhen? Still thinking about your power? Do you know that once there is really a big mess, the whole clan of our Yan family will lose their heads! Yan Song's face turned blue with anger, and the foam flew straight to Yan Shifan's fat face.
But it's not alarmist, once Wang Lian really becomes the climate, or if he cuts the land and rules, then someone must be responsible for this matter. Yan Song, as the head of the dynasty, has always had a bad reputation, and he will inevitably become a scapegoat.
Even if the saint is favored by him again, even if the saint is arbitrary, in the face of things that shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, Jiajing also has to compromise with the officials, and he Yan Song naturally becomes the object of hatred.
Yan Shifan obviously didn't realize this, and seemed very reluctant to help his father go to Wanshou Palace.
After getting the gift, Yan Shifan did not leave, but continued to help his father into the palace full of thick sandalwood.
Jiajing, who was wearing a blue robe, came out of the quiet room, and when he heard the news, he immediately said with a calm face, "What's going on?" ”
"Zhang Lian was originally a bandit entrenched in a dangerous place on the border of Guangdong, and because the local mountains are numerous and forested, several times the officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed them in vain! But I never thought that it would be a great crime to capture Bai Songguan and call it Emperor Jianyuan today! Yan Songqiang fought in spirit, sat on the embroidery pier and talked eloquently.
Jiajing picked up the military newspaper noncommittally, but narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then why did you suddenly become emperor!" ”
Yan Shifan swallowed and spitted at his mouth and looked at his father worriedly, but Yan Song replied very calmly, "It coincides with the miners' riots in Jiangxi, Fujian and other places, which gives the anti-thief Zhang Lian a chance!" However, Guangdong's Wang Bai and Lin Haoran slowly advanced the ban on silver, resulting in the miners in Guangdong not causing major chaos so far, so although Zhang Lian chose a good time, his power has not been greatly improved. ”
Although Yan Song is old, in the face of major events, he can still cope with it and return to his old fox appearance. He did not hide the truth, but without a trace he mitigated the seriousness of the situation, so that Jiajing would not be angry.
"In this way, Wang Bai and Lin Haoran are not only not at fault, but they are also meritorious?" Jiajing's attention was really diverted, but he asked nonchalantly.
Yan Song coughed lightly, his head still didn't have any future inspiration, and after thinking about it, he responded, "If the two of them openly disobey the imperial decree, this will naturally be punished by the two of them." It's just that they said in the book that they wanted to slowly implement the ban on silver, and it was this rush that they were afraid of, and the two of them did not have merit, but they were not at fault! ”
When Yan Shifan heard this, he sighed slightly in his heart, but he knew that this was his father's clever move. Without a trace, this has already turned things elsewhere, thus reducing the wrath of the saints.
"But what should we do with these two people?" Jiajing's face was slightly softened, but he asked.
Yan Song froze his mind and secretly sweated before replying, "Zhang Zhen, the governor of Liangguang, has just arrived and does not understand the truth, so he impeached Wang Bai and Lin Haoran!" It's just that now it seems that this should be a misunderstanding, and there is nothing wrong with Wang Bai and Lin Haoran's actions, so naturally there will be no such thing as corruption and bending the law. Now they should be reinstated and take full charge of the mining affairs in Guangdong, so as not to cause another incident! ”
"When I first arrived in Lingnan, I didn't see the water of the Pearl River, but I talked about the mountains and rivers!" Jiajing suddenly popped out such a sentence, his face looked very unpleasant, but he changed his words and said, "What about Zhang Zhen?" ”
Yan Shifan's forehead suddenly sweated, and this sentence came from Wang Bai's recital. The Dare to Love Saint has already recognized Wang Bai's judgment, undoubtedly expressing great dissatisfaction with Zhang Zhen, and already has the intention of punishing Zhang Zhen.
But it is no wonder that even though Zhang Zhen has just arrived in office, there is a big thief like Zhang Lian in Guangdong, and he can't escape the blame, but he still gave birth to this incident.
Yan Song did not obey Jiajing's willingness, but said seriously, "Zhang Zhen first arrived in Guangdong, but he shouldn't be so reckless. But now it is the court's employment of people, and Guangdong is not easy to be handsome, the minister thinks that a few words of warning to him can be done! ”
Yan Shifan swallowed and spit, raised his head and peeked at the saint, while looking at his father worriedly. But I don't know if my father is always confused, or as cunning as a fox as before.
Jiajing stiffened that thin face, and only after a long time did he snort coldly, "It's cheaper for him!" Then let Zhang Zhen concentrate on military affairs in Guangdong and less meddle in local affairs! ”
"Yes!" Yan Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed.
In the end, the theme still has to fall on the anti-thief Zhang Lian, after all, this person openly established a new regime to play against the imperial court, and he must mobilize forces to annihilate him no matter what.
It's just that there is no intuitive understanding of Zhang Lian's strength, and it is impossible for a clown to jump out and say that Emperor Jianyuan is going to send a large army to encircle and suppress him, so he naturally wants to find out the strength of the other party.
In the same way, another will was conveyed to Guangdong, so that the troops of Liangguang were directly aimed at the anti-thief Zhang Lian, and listed him as the primary target.
