Chapter 303: Where is the conscience?
"Wansheng ......"
"Wansheng ......"
For a time, deafening cheers resounded everywhere outside Desheng's gate.
The people of Beijing City have always claimed to be people who live under the roots of the imperial city, and the word well-informed is absolutely correct to describe them, and they are accustomed to those soldiers and the masters of the Beijing camp who only do business and visit the kiln all day long, and they think that in fact, the army of the Ming Dynasty is like this, and the word Bingyou is talking about these people.
But today, when they saw the Jiangning army that had just walked outside the city gate, they knew why Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu in the past could frequently go out to pursue Meng Yuan's remnants for thousands of miles, but now the Ming Dynasty can't even beat a small Jiannu, think about the Jingying they see on weekdays, and then look at the army that automatically exudes a strong evil aura when standing quietly outside the city gate without moving, this is really no comparison, no harm.
And Zhu Youxiao, as the person concerned, looked at this army that had survived a hundred battles, and a surging mood arose, he couldn't help but draw his sword from his waist and pointed obliquely at the sky, and shouted loudly, "Daming Wansheng!" ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!!"
This time, the voice was not only shouted from Jiang Ningjun, but even the tens of thousands of people who were watching the excitement around shouted loudly, and a sense of pride surged in everyone's chests.
Zhu Youxiao's face was flushed with excitement, he turned his head to Yang Feng and said: "Yang Aiqing, you have returned from Liaodong victoriously this time and made such a great achievement, if you want to reward him, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you!" ”
As soon as Zhu Youxiao's words came out, the faces of many civil and military officials, including Wei Zhongxian and Gu Bingqian, immediately changed, the meaning of Zhu Youxiao's words was too great, this was almost a blank check for Yang Feng, as long as Yang Feng was willing, he could make any request to Zhu Youxiao at will.
Huang immediately couldn't help but stand up and speak, but was stopped by Shi Fenglai, who was standing next to him, by pulling his sleeve, and Zhu Chunchen on the side also opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to do.
But Yang Feng, who was the party concerned, knelt down on one knee and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty for permission, please Your Majesty can take the time to inspect the officers and soldiers of our army in the next few days, so that the officers and men of the Jiangning Army can see the face of the sky, this is the greatest praise for Weichen and the Jiangning Army." ”
"Oh...... Reviewing soldiers? ”
Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Feng with some surprise, and when he saw Yang Feng's sincere face, he suddenly laughed out loud, "Hahaha...... Since Aiqing is so loyal, I can't think of any reason not to agree to this request, and I agree with you. ”
Yang Feng was overjoyed, bowed down and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the ministers are grateful!" ”
Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Feng, his heart was more satisfied, he thought about it and said: "That's good, Aiqing's army will temporarily live in the school field outside the Xuanwu Gate these days, and three days later, I will review this hundred battle lions outside the Zhengyang Gate with hundreds of civil and military officials!" ”
When the news was announced, there were bursts of deafening cheers outside the entire Desheng Gate. You must know that there are not as many entertainment activities in these years as in later generations, although many people today have seen with their own eyes the Jiang Ning Army that has been spreading these days, but the vast majority of people can only take a look at it from a distance due to the distance, and now they have heard that they can watch the Jiang Ning Army at close range outside the Zhengyang Gate three days later, how can they not be excited.
However, unlike the elated people, the expressions of the civil officials were not very good-looking, and Yang Feng's arrival made them feel an inexplicable threat. The civil officials of the late Ming Dynasty may not have had the ability to govern the country in peace, but it was almost instinctive for them to intrigue and intrigue and suppress anything that threatened them.
Next, Zhu Youxiao gave Yang Feng a routine speech such as giving imperial wine and praise, and then he returned to the palace with some reluctance, and before leaving, he took Yang Feng's hand and repeatedly told him to have a long talk with him after a few days and after reviewing the Jiangning Army.
Even Wei Zhongxian's eyelids jumped when Zhu Youxiao's posture was raised, not to mention those civil officials, they glanced at each other with the alarm bell ringing, and the threat to Yang Feng in their hearts was raised by another level......
At noon, with a tired Gu Bingqian returned to his official residence outside Chaoyang Gate, as soon as he arrived in the inner courtyard, someone came to report, saying that it was the Imperial Palace of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Gao Panlong, and Qian Qianyi came to visit.
Gu Bingqian hesitated for a moment, and then asked his subordinates to lead the two of them to the inner hall living room to wait. After a while, Gu Bingqian, who had changed into civilian clothes, walked to the living room to see the two of them.
"Xia Guan has seen Gu Ge Lao!" Seeing Gu Bingqian's arrival, Gao Panlong and Qian Qianyi stood up and saluted Gu Bingqian.
"That's it...... Sit down. Gu Bingqian waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit down, and he also sat down, and immediately a maid stepped forward to serve tea.
Gu Bingqian picked up the teacup and gently flicked the tea leaves, blew a sip of tea, and felt the warm and hot tea enter his stomach, and a comfortable feeling spread throughout his body, he let out a long breath, leaned his whole body on the chair and said to the two of them: "Brother Cun, accept it, you two hurried to the old man's house, what is the important matter, just say it." ”
It is said that literati like to sell guanzi and go around in circles, but when it comes to Gu Bingqian's status, they don't care about these virtual things for a long time, after all, they have too many things to deal with every day, and if they have to go to great lengths to say some roundabout things on weekdays, it will be too tiring.
Gao Panlong, who is nearly sixty years old, has a typical Chinese character face, with a long flowing voice under his chin, and a non-angry and self-authoritative demeanor on his body, he looked at Gu Bingqian and said: "Gu Ge Lao, Xia Guan just rushed back from Nanjing, and he didn't have time to participate in this morning's "feast", but I heard that His Majesty was going to review the Jiang Ning Army in Zhengyangmen in three days, but Xia Guan did not agree with this, so he wanted to invite Ge Lao and some people with lofty ideals in the court to write together to ask His Majesty to take back his order. ”
Gu Bingqian's brows twitched slightly, he didn't answer Gao Panlong's words, but turned his eyes to Qian Qianyi, who was sitting respectfully on the side, and asked, "Are you here for this matter too?" ”
Qian Qianyi is a first-class and three jinshi in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, as a Tanhualang who fought his way out of the encirclement in the thousands of troops at that time, Qian Qianyi has always been known for his talent, but unfortunately his luck is not very good. In the second year of the weather, when he served as the chief examiner of the Zhejiang Township Examination, he was involved in a fraud case in Zhejiang's science field, and had to resign from illness and return to his hometown.
I have to say that these years as an official pay attention to the same year and classmates. These years are the time when the Donglin Party is strong, Qian Qianyi, who resigned and went home, joined the Donglin Party, and soon became prosperous in the Donglin Party with the name of his Tanhualang, and with the help of the Donglin Party, he made a comeback again in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, mainly responsible for the compilation of the "Records of the Divine Sect", but unfortunately he offended Wei Zhongxian at that time, and was soon impeached by the imperial history Cui Chengxiu and Chen Yirui, and finally was dismissed and returned to his hometown.
It stands to reason that if it was someone else, he would have been disheartened by such a series of blows, but Qian Qianyi is an out-and-out official fan, a few days ago he met Gao Panlong when he visited friends in Nanjing, and after the two exchanged views on the current situation, Qian Qianyi thought that the situation in the court was complicated now and it was the time for him to fish in troubled waters, so he followed Gao Panlong to the capital to see if there was a chance to make a comeback again, which led to today's scene.
Now seeing Gu Bingqian asking himself, Qian Qianyi, who had already thought of countermeasures before coming, smiled slightly: "Gu Ge Lao, a few days ago, the student met Brother Cun in Nanjing, and after talking with him, I deeply felt the hardships of the current situation in the Ming Dynasty. Think about everything that Yang Feng has done since he stepped into the officialdom, all of them are digging the foundation of our generation, if this fang continues to sit big, will there still be a place for my generation in the court in the future? ”
Qian Qianyi is in his forties this year, he looks personable and talented, and his eloquence is extremely good, so Gu Bingqian has to admit that he is listening.
After a while, Gu Bingqian asked lightly: "So what do the two want the old man to do?" ”
Qian Qianyi's eyes showed a hint of joy, "Elder Gu Ge, the students and Brother Cun agreed that Yang Feng could not be kept, and it was the students and others who united with more than 100 officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section to jointly impeach Yang Feng, hoping that Elder Gu Ge could personally hand over the excerpt to His Majesty, so that His Majesty could hear our heart." ”
Gu Bingqian's face immediately sank when he heard this, he suddenly stood up and said coldly: "If the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Departments want to impeach the hundred officials of the court, they can do it in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, how can the old man hand the fold to His Majesty privately." If you all hand the folds to Your Majesty privately like you, do you still want the dignity and face of the court? As the head of the cabinet, the old man must not take the lead in breaking this rule, so you can't agree to this request! ”
After that, Gu Bingqian picked up the teacup and put it to his lips and made a tea-drinking posture, and then quickly put the teacup on the table, leaning back on the chair and closing his eyes. There is a saying for this action that Gu Bingqian did, which is called serving tea and sending off guests. The servant who had been paying attention to the movement in the living room at the door immediately shouted loudly when he saw this: "Send off!" ”
Seeing this, Qian Qianyi had no choice but to stand up and set his eyes on Gao Panlong.
Gao Panlong slowly stood up and stared at Gu Bingqian for a while before saying, "Old Gu Ge, whether you want to hear it or not, the old man still has to say something." The reason why the Ming Dynasty has lasted for more than 200 years is that I have always adhered to the national policy of civility, royalty, and martial arts, as long as this strategy does not change, the Ming Dynasty will not be chaotic.
Today, the old man also heard about the matter outside the Desheng Gate, and His Majesty's favor to Yang Feng believes that the old man has also seen it. That Yang Feng holds the power of the army and is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and it is not a blessing for such a person to stay in the court, the old man and Shouzhi and others impeached that Yang Feng not for selfish purposes, originally thought that Ge Lao could work together with us to trip the thief who bewitched His Majesty, but I never thought that Gu Ge Lao would be so confused. Since this is the case, the old man is not reluctant to be old, and the old man will be good to himself, and say goodbye! ”
After speaking, Gao Panlong flicked his sleeves and left angrily, and Qian Qianyi hurriedly followed.
Looking at Gao Panlong's angry appearance, Gu Bingqian snorted from his nostrils, this Gao Panlong is a guy who is stupid in reading, if it weren't for his fame and a group of younger brothers waving the flag and shouting for him in the back, how could he be worthy of the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate with his political wisdom, and Qian Qianyi is an official fan at first glance, and what this kind of person loves to do most is political speculation.
The matter that these two people said just now, thinking that he Gu Bingqian is already a very good minister now, he will not benefit him at all if this kind of thing is done well, if he messes up, he will completely offend Yang Feng, the celebrity in front of the emperor, this kind of thing He will not cooperate with these people unless he is stupid.
Gu Bingqian didn't speak, and returned to the inner house with his hands behind his back.
It's just that what Gu Bingqian didn't expect was that just after the morning court the next day, Gu Bingqian didn't have time to report the situation of the early dynasty to Zhu Youxiao on behalf of the hundred officials behind him, Gao Panlong took out a fold from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch, and unceremoniously began to impeach Yang Feng.
Gao Panlong impeached Yang Feng on three charges, the first was to marry Hai Lanzhu, the daughter of Zaisang, the leader of the Horqin tribe of the Ming Dynasty, and was suspected of collaborating with the enemy. The second is that during Yang Feng's time in Mongolia, the total army killed and looted Mongolian herdsmen, causing boundless killing and hurting the heavens. The third is that Yang Feng built the ordnance privately, which is suspected of intent to rebel.
The impeachment of these three counts made Zhu Youxiao, who was still smiling, look as ugly as eating Xiang, he took the fold with a trembling hand, looked at the content of the fold at a glance, and then shouted with a smile instead of anger: "This is your Gao Panlong's impeachment of Yang Feng?" ”
"Exactly!" Gao Panlong said: "Your Majesty, each of the three charges on this fold is conclusive evidence and cannot be quibbled!" The minister also knew that Lord Yang had just made a great contribution in Liaodong, but the old minister thought that the merit was the merit and the demerit was a fault, and the merit and demerit should be clear, so for the sake of strict law and discipline, please send His Majesty to take down Yang Feng and put him in prison for the time being. ”
After Gao Panlong finished speaking, dozens of imperial historians and speech officials also came out and bowed to the ground and shouted in unison: "Please Your Majesty be clear!" ”
"Good...... Okay......"
Zhu Youxiao's body trembled with anger, he pointed at Gao Panlong and sneered: "I have opened my eyes, Yang Aiqing has only been in the capital after nine deaths in the bloody frontier of Liaodong, how long has it been since he arrived in the capital, you have to shout and kill others." In the past, I always heard people say that the word "revenge" is the word "revenge", and I always don't believe it on weekdays, but now I have finally seen it, if there is no Yang Aiqing and Jiang Ningjun working the front line, how can you sit here and point fingers, and you don't thank Yang Aiqing, but now you want to put him to death, where is your conscience?
