There was a military mutiny in Shanhaiguan, which was very sudden and serious.

According to the news that about thousands of Ming troops stationed at Shanhaiguan were secretly in contact with each other, preparing to defect to the Jurchens with their families. After being dissuaded by the officers, Gao Huai, the supervisor of the Liaodong mine, ordered someone to collect a list of sergeants and prepare to capture all of them in order to prevent future troubles.

As a result, for some reason, the matter leaked, so the garrison was furious and besieged the tax envoy's yamen. At the same time, the Ming troops stationed in Songshan and Jinzhou also launched a mutiny to show solidarity.

Gao Huai was afraid, and fled to Guannei under the cover of his entourage, and now he is hiding in Yongping Mansion, only sending people to pass the news to the palace, but people dare not enter Beijing.

Wanli was furious, even more angry than the news of the military and civilian riots in Yunnan before, because this time the chaos was the border army, and the nature was very serious, if it was not pacified as soon as possible, it was very likely to cause chaos in Liaodong.

And, like Yunnan, the spearhead of this military mutiny was also aimed at the mine tax collectors.

Jin Zhong, who entered the palace to pay the news, was very panicked, and Concubine Zheng was even more shocked.

Shanhaiguan is in Gyeonggi, and it is an important town inside and outside the customs, if it loses, the world will shake. What's more, even Songjin's garrison also participated in the mutiny, so that the rebellious army numbered tens of thousands, and if anyone stood up to lead the rebellious army, it could not be said that Gyeonggi was in danger.

No one consulted Wei Liangchen, because what idea could he have for such a big matter.

An enraged Wanli paced around the hall, and finally he asked Jin Zhong what he could do.

Jin Zhong hesitated: "The old slave doesn't know how to decide, or Your Majesty will summon Ye Ge Lao to ask." ”

"Call him to ask, he will definitely dismiss Gao Huai, and then dismiss all the mine supervisors and tax envoys." Wanli snorted.

"The situation is critical, and if it causes even greater turmoil, it will be terrible." Jin Zhong persuaded that no matter what the foreign dynasty wanted, the emperor had to respond first and quell the mutiny.

"Your Majesty, Gong Jin is reasonable, if the matter is not resolved as soon as possible, there will be more trouble." Concubine Zheng also persuaded.

"This..."

Wanli hesitated, and he always had a big question in his heart, that is, why the garrison of Shanhaiguan mutinied, and why the garrison of Songjin was also involved.

But no matter who is behind this, the incident must be calmed down immediately. Wanli thought about it, but there was nothing to do, so he asked Jin Zhong to go to Xuanye Xianggao to enter the palace.

At this time, a voice came from my ear: "Or, let me go and see, right?" ”

It was naturally Wei Liangchen who spoke.

"You?" Wanli was stunned, and Concubine Zheng was also surprised.

"There is always a reason for such a big matter, no matter how His Majesty decides, at least he has to figure out what is going on. The grass people are fine anyway, so it's better to go and see for Your Majesty. ”

Liangchen stared at Wanli calmly, and his face seemed to have the words "brave and loyal, go to the soup and fight the fire".

……

Liangchen didn't know that in history, there was a person who said the same thing as him, and that person was called Sun Chengzong, who was now the Emperor of Zhan Shifu.

This is a petty official, but he has a great future, because the main duty of this official is to give lectures to the prince. In other words, this is a teacher who prepares the emperor. In the future, he will be called the emperor.

However, Sun Chengzong said this to his emperor student Tianqi.

The incident also happened in Liaodong, and the cause was a conflict of opinion between the king of Liaodong Jinglu Zaijin and his subordinate named Yuan Chonghuan because of the question of how to defend.

Therefore, Emperor Tianqi asked his teacher's opinion, and Sun Chengzong said that it would be better for him to take a look.

Now, Liangchen is saying this to the grandfather of the apocalypse.

Wanli affirmed Wei Liangchen's bravery, he didn't think that this little guy couldn't do it because he was young, and he was very decisive and asked Jin Zhong to arrange it immediately.

In terms of knowing people, Wanli believes in his vision.

This living treasure called Wei Liangchen may really be useful.

Before leaving, Concubine Zheng suddenly said: "If there is danger, it is necessary to protect yourself and return, Your Majesty will not blame you." ”

"Niangniang, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband."

Liangchen nodded slightly, bowed and retreated. Jin Zhong took him to the outside of Donghua Gate, and then asked him to wait there. It was impossible for the emperor to let Wei Liangchen go to Shanhaiguan alone, and the inner court always had to arrange people to accompany him.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Jin Zhong led a person over.

This person looked about thirty and was also a clean eunuch, but he was not wearing an inner prison service, but a prison uniform.

This person may have heard from Jin Zhong what he was going to do, so when he saw Wei Liangchen, he only nodded slightly, and said nothing else.

Looking at it, it was very calm, and there was no fear at all. This made Liangchen appreciate it very much, he was afraid that Jin Zhong arranged for him to be a timid and afraid father-in-law, in that case, he was likely to be pitted by his pig teammates.

"Li Yongzhen, you go to Shanhaiguan with Wei Liangchen, and if you do a good job, our family doesn't blame you, and the emperor will speak for you, and always let you get out of prison."

"Father-in-law Jin rest assured, Yongzhen should do his best."

Li Yongzhen didn't seem to like to talk much, and never spoke again after answering. Jin Zhong knew his temperament, and he didn't care, he just called Liangchen and Li Yongzhen to marquis, and he went to arrange the Jinyi escort.

After Jin Zhong left, Liangchen had already looked at Li Yongzhen carefully.

I don't know if it can be described as fate, Wang Tiqian and Li Yongzhong, the two second uncles' right-hand men in the future, came to his side like this.

Li Yongzhen was originally a close attendant of the queen of Kunning Palace, but because he saw the queen beat the palace people violently, he couldn't stand the hard persuasion and was angered by the queen and has been imprisoned until now. This person can read "Four Books", "Book of Songs", "Book of Books", "Zuo Chuan", "Han Feizi", and is a great talent in the palace.

The Shanhaiguan military mutiny, no one wants to take the risk. Jin Zhong then thought of this Li Yongzhen, who had been imprisoned for eight years, because Li Yongzhen had been on an errand in the military battle bureau before entering Kunning Palace.

There are only two yamen in the palace that are related to military affairs, one is the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the other is the Staff Bureau.

Jin Zhong hoped that Li Yongzhen's military experience could help Wei Liangchen.

Li Yongzhen noticed that Wei Liangchen was looking at him, but he didn't have any unhappiness, he just stood there quietly, his face was very calm.

Liangchen retracted his gaze, and he had the bottom in his heart, this Li Yongzhen is a capable person.

It didn't take long for Jin Zhong to bring Jin Yiwei's escorts. These two people turned out to be acquaintances of Liangchen, that is, Tian Gang and Li Wei, who had sent Liangchen to Beijing with Wang Tiqian before.

Tian Gang is nothing, but Li Wei is reluctant, but he was named by Jin Zhong, and he couldn't run if he wanted to.

Jin Zhong arranged a carriage for Wei Liangchen, but he didn't get up, but asked Jin Zhong: "Can my father-in-law arrange a horse for me?" ”

Jin Zhong was surprised: "You can ride a horse?" ”

"Yes. The situation is tense and cannot be delayed, so we must go quickly. ”

Liangchen's words are concise and clear, there is a world of difference between riding a horse and going in a carriage. Now, he must show his bravery, so that even if he goes to Shanhaiguan and doesn't accomplish anything, he can leave a good impression in Wanli's heart.

Sure enough, Jin Zhong's face moved, and he immediately asked someone to lead a horse. Liangchen turned over and got on the horse, his movements were very skillful, and Jin Zhong was even more determined when he saw it.

Li Yongzhen is obviously also good at riding horses, and Hetian Gang and Tian Gang also turned over on horses. At that moment, Liangchen and Jin Zhong said goodbye, and the four of them rode straight to the Donghua Gate.

When he arrived in the outer city, the good minister suddenly stopped beating his horse and said to Li Wei, who had a bitter gourd face: "If you are afraid, don't go with me." ”
