Text Volume 1 Dismal Management_Chapter 204 The Change in Gyeonggi

Tian Xiuying directly pressed Chongzhen's hand and didn't let him put away the rice paper, and exclaimed in her mouth: "Your Majesty's words are bad, but this poem is written majestically, and the concubines really don't know that Your Majesty has such pride in her chest." ”

Zhou Yufeng watched Tian Xiuying rudely grab Chongzhen's hand, and felt uncomfortable for a while. Immediately walked up, and said: "Even Sister Tian thinks it's good, the concubine is about to see and understand." ”

Zhou Yufeng quietly squeezed Tian Xiuying away, stood beside Chongzhen, and then looked at the bookcase with satisfaction.

"The west wind is fierce,

The geese in the sky are called frost and morning moon.

Frost and early moon, the sound of horses' hooves is broken, and the sound of trumpets is swallowed.

Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron,

Now we are starting from scratch.

From the beginning, the mountains are like the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood. ”

Zhou Yufeng involuntarily read it again, although Zhou Yufeng had never seen a battlefield killing, but when he read this word, he felt a sense of generosity, tragedy, majesty and grandeur rushing to his face.

"This is written by His Majesty?" Zhou Yufeng couldn't help but ask.

"The ink hasn't dried yet, isn't it Your Majesty, is it someone else?" Tian Xiuying, who was squeezed aside, said in vain.

Only then did Zhou Yufeng realize that he had lost his words, and hurriedly saluted Chongzhen and pleaded guilty: "The concubine is dizzy for a while, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youzhen was a little speechless, although Mr. Runzhi was not born yet, he was not willing to steal Taizu's poems.

He prevaricated and said, "It's not my work, it's just a poem I accidentally saw, and I just use it to practice my hands today." ”

Tian Xiuying covered her mouth and smiled and said, "It turns out that Your Majesty is hiding in the room, but it is to practice calligraphy, no wonder the door is closed." But I don't know if Your Majesty saw the words from that book, and also lent them to the concubines? ”

Tian Xiuying teased Chongzhen meaningfully, and thought that he was asking for books.

Zhu Youzhen naturally couldn't take it out, and when he looked up and was about to make up a reason, he saw Yuan Zhaorong standing on tiptoe and looking curiously at the table.

So he simply changed the topic and said: "I saw it a long time ago, and I forgot the title of the book, but I still remember the author, called Mr. Runzhi." It's better to come forward and take a look, you are so paddling, be careful of falling. ”

Zhou Yufeng and Tian Xiuying were thinking about which famous man this Runzhi was, Yuan Zhaorong blushed when Chongzhen said it, but he still walked generously to the front of the bookcase.

Tian Xiuying suddenly rolled her eyes, saluted Chongzhen and said: "This poem, the concubine likes it very much, Your Majesty might as well give it to the concubine." ”

Zhou Yufeng was suddenly reluctant, she immediately said: "Your Majesty's poem is majestic, Sister Tian's place is smaller, and it is more appropriate to hang it in the concubine's Kunning Palace..."

Yuan Zhaorong watched for a while, and found that the quarrel between Tian Xiuying and Zhou Yufeng did not make Chongzhen angry, but after being a little embarrassed, she also joined the competition for poetry.

Zhu Youzhen immediately understood why someone would say that when three women got together, it was 1,500 ducks.

Zhu Youzhen didn't want to light a fire in his harem because of a poem, he immediately said: "Don't fight, this poem is what I am going to give to the female middle school Hua Mulan, the stone pillar toast General Qin Liangyu." ”

Zhu Youzhen took a lot of effort to appease the three women, and after sending them away, Zhu Youzhen found that his mood was inexplicably more comfortable.

December 1, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, is the first and fifteenth day of the new year.

At the court meeting held in the Fengtian Temple, officials from the Ministry of Rites came out to talk about when and where the representatives of each province had been elected, and when and where they should vote.

Zhu Youzhen thought about it and said, "Just put it in Jiale Palace, and the time will be tomorrow morning." ”

The next questions are all step-by-step, the ministers' recitals have been sent a few days ago, and Chongzhen's answer is also a sentence that has been prepared a long time ago, and the court meeting has finally restored the appearance in the hearts of Wen Zhenmeng and others.

Between the answers between the monarchs and ministers who are like acting, everyone acts in strict accordance with the script, and there will be no more questions about Chongzhen's deviation from the chapter from time to time at the previous court meeting, and the question of digressing thousands of miles makes the following officials dazed and at a loss.

Between this simple question and answer, there is a lot of solemnity, which is just like the etiquette advocated by Confucianism. Although the fly in the ointment is the emperor's mechanical answer, which looks a bit like a puppet in a puppet show, and the courtiers below are also rigidly lacking a little vitality.

But for Wen Zhenmeng and other officials, this is what they are familiar with, and they feel very down-to-earth in their hearts.

Halfway through the meeting, an officer of the brocade guard hurriedly ran into the hall.

Ignoring the surprised eyes of the courtiers, the officer knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Jinyi Wei urgently reported that there was a civil uprising in Shunyi yesterday night, and a mob attacked the Shunyi County Ya. ”

Huang Liji was suddenly shocked and asked, "Who is the leader?" What exactly is the civil uprising for? ”

However, this brocade guard only received this bit of news, and the detailed military information has not yet been delivered.

The officials at the court meeting suddenly began to boil over the sky, Shunyi is under the rule of Suncheonfu, and it is the real Gyeonggi important place. In that year, the uprising of the Wenxiangjiao in Shandong shook the imperial court, but it did not enter the territory of Beizhili.

The changes in Gyeonggi suddenly made these officials panic, and Zhu Youzhen watched without saying a word, and the following officials blamed each other and shirked their responsibilities.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the head of the military department who stayed behind in the Ministry of Labor also hurried over, and the information he brought was a little more detailed, which was a popular rebellion led by the local big Wu family, Wang family, and Xu family.

Wen Zhenmeng suddenly said angrily: "Yingzhou Zuotunwei is near Shunyi, how can they tolerate the mutant people attacking the county government and not doing anything?" ”

Li Kuilong, the right deputy capital imperial historian, immediately retorted: "At the court meeting a few days ago, because of the impeachment of Jinyi Wei and Yingzhou Tunwei to clean up the land encroachment, wasn't the commander of Yingzhou Wei called to the capital to be held accountable? Because of the impeachment of the Imperial History, His Majesty also ordered that the Yingzhou Tunwei should not leave the guard station, did Wen Taichang want them to resist the order? ”

Wen Zhenmeng said fearlessly: "There are priorities, since there is a civil uprising near the army, it should be suppressed first." ”

Men Chen Xin looked down at the ground, deaf to the arguments in the court, as if he wanted to hide in the crowd.

But obviously Zhu Youzhen didn't intend to let him go, "Zhuqing doesn't have to quarrel anymore, isn't there someone in the court who is very familiar with the matter of Shunyi?" Do I remember last time there were 13 officials who knew everything about Shunyi? Let them talk about it, what the hell is going on? ”

Men Chen Xin had to come out, of course he knew that no matter what happened now, he couldn't put the hat of the people's rebellion on the heads of the Wu family, the Wang family, and the Xu family, otherwise his behavior of guaranteeing the three people at the previous court meeting would become a stain on his career.

Men Chen Xin turned his heart sideways and said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter is not clear yet, and he can't jump to conclusions. No one knows if this is a real popular uprising, maybe it's just that the local gentry were forced by Tian Ergeng and others to surround the county government on impulse..."

Men Chenxin's rhetoric obviously made some officials very dissatisfied, but Zhu Youzhen did not show any anger at all.

"What Men Yushi said is not bad, then let Men Yushi go to Shunyi and bring the principals of the Wu family, the Wang family, and the Xu family over, since the Door Yushi is so determined, this is not a civil uprising."

Zhu Youzhen's words made Men Chenxin's forehead sweat a little, but what he said just now was too absolute, so he couldn't turn around at once, so he could only remain silent. At this moment, he hoped that someone would turn around for him so that he could get out of this dangerous situation.

Although Huang Liji felt that Chongzhen's ridicule of Chen Xin was very relieved, the civil uprising in Gyeonggi was too great a blow to his reputation as the first assistant.

Therefore, he obviously can't allow Chongzhen to gamble on state affairs. Huang Liji suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this may be a popular uprising, or it may not be a popular uprising. It's naturally a good thing that the door royal history can succeed in appeasing, but things also have to be prepared for the worst. The minister thought that when the Beijing army and the Yingzhou Weisho army were prepared, it would be better to quell the chaos by force if the pacification failed. ”

When Men Chen Xinzheng felt relieved, Zhu Youzhen said faintly: "How can this be a civil unrest, Men Yushi has taken his life to pack a ticket, do you still have any doubts?" Huang Shoufu doesn't have to worry too much. Besides, the army needs money and food when it goes out. Guo Shangshu, is there still silver in the treasury? ”

Guo Yunhou said quietly: "The national treasury has a fixed amount of silver, and the food and salary of the border army are not yet available, and the money and grain for the Beijing army to fight the war may be difficult for the household department to raise." ”

Men Chenxin's breath suddenly froze in his chest, he didn't know when he would use his net worth and life to vouch for the Wu family, the Wang family, and the Xu family.

When Men Chenxin finally couldn't help but want to defend himself, Zhu Youzhen said gloomily again: "What's more, as Men Chenxin said, if this is the feat of the local righteous people, do you want to send a large army to slaughter the righteous people?" Where are you going to put me? The Lord of the Rings? ”

Zhu Youzhen's words forcibly blocked back the words that the ministers wanted to admonish, not only that, but Zhu Youzhen also ordered again that all the guards near Shunyi were not allowed to attack the people without authorization.

The court meeting was suspended because of this emergency, and Huang Liji and other cabinet scholars, as well as the military department Shangshu and others, hurried to the cabinet duty room to wait for more accurate news.

Men Chen Xin was escorted by two brocade guards, preparing to rush to Shunyi to pacify the mutinous people. When Men Chenxin got into the carriage, he felt like his heart was dead. Now he can only hope that this is not a real popular uprising, but just a move by a few gentry and wealthy families.

Until he left Beijing City, he still didn't understand why the gentry in these places still had to make such a unconspiracy move, Tian Ergeng had been recalled to the capital for questioning, and the affairs of encroaching on the land of the Weisho had stopped.

In the afternoon, the information from Shunyi was more accurate, this was an unmistakable civil uprising, and the other party also raised the banner of the Wenxiang Sect.

Hearing the name Wenxiangjiao, which immediately made the cabinet ministers restless, Huang Liji once again made a statement to the palace, asking for troops to quell the rebellion.

Zhu Youzhen refused to meet with the ministers, and ordered the eunuch to reply, "... How could my minister collude with the Smelling Fragrance Sect, this must be a rumor..."

Zhu Youzhen once again ordered to send three officials who had vouched for the Shunyi gentry to pacify them, and ordered the Jinyi Guards to take over the nine gates of the capital, and not a single soldier was allowed to leave the capital.
