Chapter 817: Shoufu

A sedan chair was carried in, and the surrounding officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp and the soldiers of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division all avoided and made way for a way. On an errand in the capital, everyone is seen by their eyesight, and what they let is not a sedan chair, but the identity of the person in the sedan chair. This soft sedan chair looks a little plain, but the lantern in the hand of the attendant has the word "Wen" written on it.

When ordinary gentry travel, whether they are taking a sedan chair or a boat, the lantern will generally indicate their origin, fame and other information, showing their identity. In Beijing, there are tens of thousands of people with the surname Wen, and only one word "Wen" is written, indicating that they have absolute confidence in their status and deliberately keep a low profile, so their identity is about to come out.

Yang Sichang's eyes narrowed, staring at the sedan chair. How did he end up here?

An old man got off the sedan chair and walked slowly to stand in the middle of the two sides of the confrontation. He looked left and right, obviously the guerrilla of the Shenshu Battalion and the commander of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division were not qualified to talk to him, and after looking around, his eyes locked on Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang speculated about Wen Tiren's intentions, and stepped forward to salute.

"A little thing, how did it alarm the elder Ge? It's all the fault of the lower officials. ”

For this rising star in the political arena, Wen Tiren knows a lot. At that time, his father Yang He served as the governor of the three sides, and appeased the Liukou God, but he was tricked to surrender, and the government and the opposition attacked his appeasement strategy, and was imprisoned by Chongzhen, ready to be executed. Because Chongzhen admired Yang Sichang's talent very much, he exempted Yang He from the death penalty in his face, and changed his military to Yuanzhou, Jiangxi, but did not let Yang Sichang resign, and also comforted him many times with warm words and encouraged him to do his duty. From this incident, it can be seen that Yang Sichang's status in Chongzhen's heart.

Now Yang Sichang was ordered by Chongzhen to win his love during the period, and there are many clues that he wants to replace Zhang Fengyi as the secretary of the military department, which can be described as a rising star in the political arena. There is a popular saying among the people that "it is better to bully the white bearded prince, not to bully the poor youth", Yang Sichang is in the prime of life, and the saint is in his prime, and in time, he may even enter the cabinet to become Wen Tiren's direct opponent, and Wen Tiren naturally does not dare to underestimate him.

Wen Tiren smiled with a smile on his face: "Hehe, this official is just passing through here, but he found that there are soldiers inside and outside the yamen of the military department, and he thought that Boqi (Zhang Fengyi's words) went out of Beijing to supervise the division, and it was good not to go wrong in the yamen, so come in and take a look." Since Wen Qiao is presiding over the overall situation here, this official is relieved, what the hell is going on, there shouldn't be a problem, right? ”

In fact, where did he happen to pass by, it was obvious that he deliberately came to the yamen of the military department. Huang Dare sent someone for help, Huang Mengjia left with a roar, he couldn't rest assured, he was afraid that this reckless man would make some trouble again, so he hurriedly chased after him. Huang Mengjia even dared to fight Cao Huachun in the palace, what else did he dare not do? Sure enough, as soon as I arrived here, I saw the exciting scene of thousands of soldiers confronting each other, and the swords were tense, and it seemed that they were about to start fighting if they didn't agree with each other.

Yang Sichang had a headache when he heard this, things were already a little tricky, but Shoufu appeared again, and things were even more delicate. He knew that Zhang Fengyi was Wen Tiren's person, and he went to the military department as a successor to wait for Shangshu's position, Wen Tiren definitely didn't have a good impression of himself, and now this matter was bumped into by him, if it was not handled properly, the old guy would definitely fall into the ground, otherwise he would not be a qualified politician.

But when the other party asked, he had to answer. Yang Sichang pondered the wording for a moment and replied: "Ge Lao, here's the thing: Qionghai Town escorted more than a dozen carriages to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, saying that it was the head of the Tartar who was handed over to the Ministry of Military Affairs for inspection and meritorious service, but these soldiers lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, saying that they were afraid that the people of the Ministry Division would do something and that they must be present to monitor it, which broke the rules and made it difficult for the people of the Ministry Department to do it. Moreover, they insulted the head of the department, and did not listen to the order, entrenched in the yamen and did not leave, and had no choice but to summon the people of the Shenshu Battalion and the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division to ask them to leave......"

Huang Dang's heart was on fire when he listened to it on the sidelines, isn't this reversing black and white? He couldn't help but shout: "That's not the case, I just asked the adults of the military department to count the number of heads, and I never said that I would ask the people who monitor the military department to check the authenticity of the heads." ”

Wen Tiren felt strange, the thousands of Tartar heads were a great achievement that shocked the government and the opposition, and reported it to the emperor as it was, Long Yan was happy, and everyone was happy, isn't it good? Yang Sichang seems to have the intention of suppression, it stands to reason that he and Qionghai Town have not had a holiday, why do they want to do things that harm others and themselves?

He naturally didn't know that the other party was trying to negotiate peace with the Tartars, and Chongzhen was moved, and he didn't want this victory to shake Chongzhen's determination to negotiate peace, and wanted to do something.

"So that's what happened. Wen is weak, it is said that this is a matter of the Ministry of War, Bo Qi is not there, you are in charge of the overall situation, and this official cannot interfere. But since there is such a brilliant record, shouldn't we inform the Holy Lord first, let him know first? The Holy One has worked day and night for the sake of state affairs, and he has done his best to report this matter, and the Holy One will be very happy. As for how to count and inspect the head, hand it over to the people below to do it according to the rules, and you don't have to do everything yourself. The people of Qionghai Town don't understand the rules, but after all, they are meritorious people, and they don't want to be like them, they have to count the number on the spot, so it's up to them! ”

Yang Sichang didn't know about the collusion behind Wen Tiren and Qiong Haijun, thinking that he was just playing on the topic because of Zhang Fengyi, giving himself eye medicine, and said helplessly: "What the elder said is that the lower officials will definitely do it." While the palace gate is still unlocked, the lower officials will enter the palace and report the great victory to the saint. Then he turned back to the other party and said, "Did you hear what Elder Ge said?" Immediately summoned people, counted the number on the spot, and gave an explanation to the people in Qionghai Town. ”

Director Fang lowered his head and responded: "The lower official obeys the order." ”

Wen Tiren nodded with satisfaction, and pointed to the people of the Shenshu Camp and the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses: "The capital is important, it is not appropriate to gather soldiers, is it better to let them disperse?" ”

Yang Sichang held back the depression in his heart and waved his hand: "There's nothing to do with you here, let's go back to the camp!" ”

Shen Chong and Yang Zihua were relieved, and quickly withdrew from the yamen with people, and they were all clean at once.

Huang Mengjia saw that Shoufu was pulling a bias, and the opportunity was rare, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord Shoufu, when we enter Beijing this time, in addition to escorting the first level, we also have to move reinforcements. Our general has already led a large army in Tianjin to wait for the arrival of the Tartars, and we need the cooperation of the surrounding armies, and we must have the dispatch of the military department. At present, the Ministry of War is acting unfairly, and it is estimated that the order will not be given to us, so please call the shots! "He's not stupid, he knows that he can't let people see the relationship with Shousuke in public, so he pretends to be unfamiliar with his words.
