Chapter 134: Yang Feng's excerpt
"This Yang Feng is really ruthless."
Just when Xu Hongji and Zhang Weixian were talking about Yang Feng, in the Nanjing Eunuch's Mansion, Cao Dazhong smiled and shook his head gently after listening to the report of a little eunuch.
"This Yang Feng, he is really bold, he actually took down Wang Xianyao in one fell swoop, now Liao Yongquan and Xu Hongji should be distressed to death, and the entire Jiang Ningwei will all fall into his hands."
Shi Zhongyi, who had been standing on the side with his hands down, said with some worry: "Gonggong Cao, the villain heard that Lord Yang has opened several stores in Yangzhou Mansion, Changzhou Mansion and Zhenjiang Mansion recently, but he didn't notify us, it seems that he wants to get rid of us and go it alone." ”
Cao Dazhong sighed faintly, "The eaglet's wings are hard, so naturally he wants to fly by himself, and our family can still stop him." ”
"But he's betraying." Shi Zhongyi said with some indignation, "If Yang Feng could have today without us, now that his wings are stiff, it is like throwing off us to do it alone, how can there be such a good thing in the world, you should at least warn him." ”
A look of interest flashed on Cao Dazhong's face, but then he shook his head: "If Yang Feng was still only a thousand households, our family could still knock him, but now that he has entered His Majesty's eyes, it is not something that our family can move casually." Besides, now that he wants soldiers and silver, it's not like we can handle it at will. That's it, let him go, the only thing our family can do is to report this matter to the nine thousand years old, and the nine thousand years old will decide. ”
Cao Dazhong is right, the current Yang Feng is the commander of Jiang Ningwei, and he is a veritable high-ranking official, and no one can do anything to him without the emperor's approval. Although the civil officials in the middle and late Ming Dynasty firmly controlled the court, the promotion and dismissal of military generals were firmly in the hands of the emperor, and without the emperor's nod, they had no right to make the decision even if they were appointed and dismissed by a thousand households.
On the seventh day after Yang Feng took Wang Xianyao, several prisoner carts were sent to the Yamen of the Ministry of War in Beijing along with an official document, and in these prisoner carts were Wang Xianyao, Wang Hu's uncle and nephew, and several hundred households. Yes, Yang Feng escorted Wang Xianyao and these people to the capital to be dealt with by the Ministry of War, Yang Feng explained in the official letter to the Ministry of War that Wang Xianyao did not respect the military order but led the troops to try to resist Shangguan, and finally Yang Feng also urged the Ministry of War to quickly appoint the new Qianhu Office of Xijiangkou and the Qianhu Office of Jiangdongmen.
The masters of the Beijing Military Department were also frightened when they saw those prisoner cars, and the commander of the guard station directly sent troops to arrest the thousands of households and nearly half of the hundred households below and escort them to the capital, such a thing has not happened in the Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, and this Yang Feng's courage is too great.
Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was also taken aback after receiving the report, such a thing has been rare since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and he did not dare to slack off, so he quickly reported it to the cabinet, and the cabinet reported it to the celebrant supervisor, and finally even Zhu Youxiao, who stayed in the harem as a carpenter, was also alarmed.
Zhu Youxiao, who was working in the carpenter's room, asked casually while concentrating on carpentry work, "Wei Zhongxian, do you have anything to do with you looking for me today?" ”
Wei Zhongxian looked at the uncarved kettle in Zhu Youxiao's hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Nanjing Military Department has sent a message that Jiang Ningwei commanded Yang Feng to send troops a few days ago without authorization, and arrested thousands of households and several hundred households in Xijiangkou. Liao Yongquan, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, claimed that Yang Feng's move was too appalling, and asked His Majesty and the cabinet to deal with it. ”
"Yang Feng? Disposal? Zhu Youxiao's originally lowered head raised and looked at Wei Zhongxian, with a rare glint in his eyes, "Wei Zhongxian, has the cabinet investigated this matter, what is the cause?" Why did he arrest the thousand and hundred households? ”
"This ......"
Seeing Zhu Youxiao's rare expression, Wei Zhongxian was a little caught off guard.
Wei Zhongxian has served Zhu Youxiao for many years, and he has also figured out a rule, that is, Zhu Youxiao will devote himself to it when he is doing carpenter work, and at this time, he hates others to disturb him with official business.
Therefore, every time Wei Zhongxian has something more important to ask Zhu Youxiao, he will pick this time to report, generally speaking, Zhu Youxiao will be very impatient to let him solve it by himself, so that Wei Zhongxian is invisibly given the right to dispose of it, Wei Zhongxian's ability to climb from step by step to the position of nine thousand years old has a lot to do with Zhu Youxiao's habit. And this time, Zhu Youxiao unexpectedly suddenly asked the reason, which made Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but be surprised and a little surprised.
Since receiving Cao Dazhong's secret report, Wei Zhongxian began to be dissatisfied with Yang Feng, for Wei Gonggong, who loved money incomparably, Yang Feng actually wanted to leave himself alone, which was absolutely unbearable, so he decided to give Yang Feng a profound lesson. However, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were extremely sensitive to military power, and any transfer of troops or personnel appointments and dismissals had to be approved by the emperor and the Ministry of War, so our father-in-law Wei used a trick that had been tried and tested in the past to give Yang Feng eye medicine, but now it seems that things are a little wrong.
Seeing Wei Zhongxian's stammering look, Zhu Youxiao's face was a little difficult to look at: "What, do you want to deal with others if you don't even know the reason?" ”
"It's not...... Your Majesty misunderstood. Wei Zhongxian knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer at this time, so he quickly took out a fold from his sleeve and handed it over: "Your Majesty, this is Yang Feng's excerpt to the military department, please take a look." ”
Zhu Youxiao took the fold, and his brows furrowed even more. Because Zhu Youxiao did not receive any formal education before becoming the emperor, although he also went through some bad supplements after ascending the throne, at best it was only equivalent to the level of junior high school students in later generations, and those officials were used to chewing words when they played the fold to the emperor, and the fold was written in a profound way, Zhu Youxiao felt very difficult when he read the fold, so over time he was used to letting others explain it to him, which gave people with ill intentions the opportunity to deceive and take it out of context.
Seeing Zhu Youxiao's somewhat unhappy appearance when he took the fold, Wei Zhongxian was secretly happy in his heart, he stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the slave read it to you." ”
"Okay......" Zhu Youzheng was about to agree, but then shook his head and said, "That's it...... Let's bring it to me, I want to see what this Yang Feng wants to say. ”
With that, he opened the fold, only to look down at it with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Huh...... How so? ”
