Chapter 793: Guozuo
Wanli and Zhang Siwei were not deaf or blind, and soon they learned what Qin Lin had done.
In the Palace of Raising the Heart, Zhang Whale followed closely beside Zhu Yijun with his waist half-hunched, and the smile on his face was very flattering: "Emperor, the slave heard from Liu Dudu that the Jiangling Annihilation Party was expelled from Beijing, and there were still many courtiers to see him off, especially Qin Lin, who said goodbye to Wang Guoguang, Zeng Xingwu and others, I don't know what his intentions are?" ”
Wanli's brows furrowed slightly, and his face was cloudy - because Qin Lin had the merit of bringing down Feng Bao, Wanli was not ready to assign him to the Jiangling Party, but now Qin Lin's actions undoubtedly made this narrow-minded emperor very dissatisfied.
Shoufu University scholar Zhang Siwei stood in the hall with a red robe and jade belt, and when he saw this, he sneered in his heart, but his voice slowed down on his face, and he said slowly: "Dr. Wenchen talks about the friendship between teachers and students, and the Jiangling New Party has been in power for many years......
What a Zhang Siwei, the soft knife kills without seeing blood, Wenchen has a teacher-student friendship, so he has to see him off, you Qin Lin is a brocade-clothed martial artist, what are you going to do to join in the fun? It's clear that you're going to work against Your Majesty!
Sure enough, Wanli's face was gloomy, and he snorted heavily in his nose.
Zhang Hong, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, stood next to the imperial case, his face was unusually haggard, these days he witnessed the capable ministers of the Jiangling Party being expelled from the court one by one, Zhao Yingyuan, Wang Yongji, these conservative ministers have been recalled, the good situation of the new deal is in jeopardy, this upright old man, his heart is always entangled in pain.
Seeing that Zhang Whale and Zhang Siwei pointed the finger at the younger generation of Qin Lin, Zhang Hong couldn't bear it anymore, and knelt down and shouted at Wanli in a dumb voice: "Your Majesty, forgive the old slave for nothing, please stop for the time being!" His Majesty first chased Feng Bao, and then dismissed the Jiangling New Party, the Empress Dowager has been sullen for a few days, and then expelled General Qin, what does Niangniang think in her heart? I beg Your Majesty to look at the Queen Mother......"
Empress Dowager Li, who once heard the six roads and watched all directions, and knew everything about the government and politics, has now become a clay carved wood sculpture, because her two allies Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, one died young, and the other was expelled from the palace, so by the time Zhu Yijun expelled the ministers of the Jiangling Party, she was powerless, and stayed in Cining Palace all day long without thinking.
Finally, although Zhu Yijun is cold, a bit of conscience for the son of man has not been extinguished, remembering that Qin Lin was given a jade pendant by the Queen Mother, and Xu Xinyi is also a relative of the Queen Mother's mother's family, if Qin Lin is reprimanded, the Queen Mother may not be able to afford to be ill, and her grandfather Li Wei and Uncle Li Gao are not good-looking.
As a result, Zhu Yijun's face turned slightly softer.
Zhang Cheng saw the opportunity very quickly, he and Qin Lin alliance, just Zhang Whale and Zhang Siwei accused Qin Lin of being disloyal, and it had touched Wanli against the scales, so he couldn't say anything, at this time, there was a slight turnaround, so he hurriedly said: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he has seen the hearts of the people for a long time, Qin Lin has repeatedly shared worries for His Majesty, and he is a great loyal minister, but he is young and vigorous, and sometimes he doesn't know the severity." ”
"That's right," Wanli nodded, "Let's not talk about Qin Aiqing's matter for the time being, let's wait and see the aftereffects." On the contrary, those Gangneung annihilation parties who are scheming and embarrassed must be reprimanded one by one, and they must never be used! ”
Zhang Whale also saw the opportunity quickly, and knew that he couldn't bring down Qin Lin for the time being, so he continued with the words: "But now there is still the annihilation of the party, just between the hearts and minds of the imperial court, if Your Majesty does not clean it up in time, I am afraid that it will become elbows and armpits." ”
"Are you talking about Qi Jiguang?" Wanli pondered for a moment, and then sneered: "I still remember that he was attached to the prime minister and sent the elite of the border army to protect Zhang Juzheng, hmph, if there is a change, those border troops will be a sharp sword hanging above my head!" ”
Oh my God, Qi Jiguang served the country with his heart, "The north and south drove to report the main feelings, Jiang Huabian Yue smiled and died", "I don't want to be a marquis, I hope Hai Boping is flat", that is, to send border troops to protect Zhang Juzheng, but it is just a team of musketeers, purely to guard against the masters of the White Lotus Sect, if it is used to rebel, how can it fight against the 12th regiment battalion and Tengxiang Siwei combined with an army of more than 100,000?
When Lao Zhang Hong heard that he was going to reprimand Qi Jiguang, he was so anxious that his face was red, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty Shengming, Qi Shuai is in Jizhen to reorganize the army and run through the military, it is really the dry city of the country, and the Tartars have fought bloody battles for more than ten years, and the northern Xinjiang has been safe and sound for more than ten years, and the imperial court must not destroy the Great Wall!" He is now out of the customs to fight a decisive battle with the Tartars, and the holy decree will be wasted......"
Wanli didn't pay any attention to him, and said with a cold smile on his wooden face: "It is precisely because Qi Jiguang is brave and invincible that the imperial court has to guard against it." When he heard that the imperial court had reprimanded Jiangling to annihilate the party, he would inevitably have different intentions, in case he used the excuse to fight the Tartars, in fact, he would return to the south from the pass of Jizhen, who would be able to defeat him at that time? You can hit Jingshi in a few days! ”
Zhang Cheng saw that Zhang Whale made meritorious contributions, and he was not willing to be lonely: "Qi Laohu is very famous, in order to prevent him from having different intentions, the court will not reprimand him for the time being, but only say that he will be transferred to Guangdong as a chief military officer, and when he is transferred out of Jizhen, he will naturally become a toothless tiger." ”
Good! Wanli thought so and immediately ordered Zhang Siwei to draw up a decree for him.
Zhang Hong knelt on the ground, looking at this scene in a daze, only to feel that his heart was painful. The scene under the trance and tears seems to have changed, hundreds of years ago in the Southern Song Dynasty Lin'an, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou and Annihilation Prime Minister Qin Hui, twelve gold medals recalled Yue Fei...... But that's not the end of it.
Zhang Siwei had just prepared his will, Wanli read it with great satisfaction, and took the music from all over the country from the imperial case to look at it, most of the music is to praise His Majesty's great achievements in the removal of the eunuch Feng Bao and the Jiangling annihilation party, and there are also a few who defend the Jiangling party, but the tone is extremely tactful, and the cautious posture can be seen between the lines.
Wanli read one book after another, and was extremely happy, even those recitals that defended the Gangneung Party made him feel a sense of power in his hands and the subjects of the world bowed to his ears.
But when he got the bottom book, Zhang Siwei, a scholar of Shoufu University, changed his face.
Therefore, the Taishi Zhang Juzheng is really a virtuous minister of the country, ruling the country for ten years, strictly carrying out reforms, and making great contributions: Nanping Wakou, Beifeng I answered, eliminated redundant officials, enriched the country and strengthened the army, and all kinds of merits are known to the world. Your Majesty was assisted by Taishi Zhang for ten years in the past, but now that he is dead, he will be destroyed by annihilation, will the people of the world not slander him? ”
"Who, who wrote it?!" Wan Li Teng stood up suddenly, and made a fuss.
The reason why this piece of music made him panic was only because all the facts he said were irrefutable, and every word hit him in the headache, since it was said that Zhang Juzheng was in chaos and misled the country, where did the situation of Zhongxing come from in the past ten years? Since it is said that Zhang Juzheng is disloyal to the country, why has Wanli always called Mr. Zhang, the first assistant teacher, and treated each other with the courtesy of teachers and students?
Zhang Siwei saw that His Majesty's face was extremely ugly, so he hurriedly threw the music on the ground: "These rats are trying to deceive the court staff, Your Majesty doesn't have to pay attention to him." ”
Wanli picked up the piece by himself, looked at the name note posted on the cover, and was immediately furious: "Who I said was so bold, it turned out to be Pan Jitao, the annihilation party!" He thought that if he was hiding on the edge of the Huai River, I couldn't help him? Scholar Zhang drafted a decree for me, severely reprimanded Pan Jitao, removed him from all official positions, and never used him! ”
Zhang Siwei looked embarrassed, he, a scholar, is not wise enough to engage in party disputes, otherwise Zhang Juzheng would not have promoted him in the future. Pan Jitao is the Jiangling Party, and he is also the first capable minister of the Ming Dynasty to control the water, and he is always inseparable from him to control the floods in the world, so even if Zhang Siwei hates the Jiangling Party very much, he also opens up to Pan Jitao, so as not to have a disaster in the Yellow River and Huai River in the future.
He was hesitating how to intercede for Pan Jitao and dissipate His Majesty's anger, Zhang Hong had already spoken first, knelt down and knocked his head three times, and cried with tears: "Your Majesty, you must not reprimand Pan Jitao!" He is the number one capable minister of the country's dynasty to govern the river, in previous years, he had a lot of merits in governing the Yellow River, and now he is on the construction site of the Huai River, and he was suddenly dismissed, which is not conducive to the great cause of governing the Huai River, and is not good for the fathers and villagers on both sides of the Huai River! ”
Yes, yes, it's important to control the water, so let Pan Ji tame a horse! Zhang Siwei thought like this and was ready to help.
Unexpectedly, Wanli roared angrily: "The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, as long as I dismiss him, it is already extraordinarily gracious!" I am the true son of heaven, the blessing of the sky, even if I leave Pan Jitao, the Yellow River, the canal, and the Huai River will collapse together and become a thousand miles of red land, I will resolutely cut this guy to the people, expel him back to his hometown, and never use it! ”
Oh my God, my God! Zhang Hong's eyes darkened, and he collapsed to the ground.
Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng looked at each other, what His Majesty said just now was really ...... After thinking about it, he hurriedly instructed the little eunuch on duty not to talk nonsense to the outside world.
Zhang Siwei also looked embarrassed, helpless, so he had to put pen to paper to draft the purpose for Wanli.
The two little eunuchs helped Zhang Hong to walk out, and as soon as he left the Heart Cultivation Palace, the white-haired old man woke up quietly, and told the little eunuch to stop, looked back at the Heart Cultivation Hall in a daze, his eyes were full of despair, and muttered: "It's over, the luck of the Ming Dynasty is over!" My ancestor Hong Wuye has fought hard for more than ten years, expelled the Tartars and restored China, and won the country far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties. ”
The two little eunuchs stuck out their tongues in unison and persuaded in a low voice: "Ancestor silence, this is the sin of killing the head......
Zhang Hong only felt bitter in his mouth, the two little eunuchs didn't understand, he was the old man who read it out of the inner study, but he knew it very well.
The people are noble, the society is second, the king is the lightest, it is the words of the Sage Mencius, the location of the Chinese Taoism, so Zhu Yuanzhang chased the Mengyuan in the north and restored China, the merit is in the hundreds of millions of Li people, and the merit is in the Qianqiu China, even if he got rid of the Mingjiao Dragon and Phoenix Emperor Han Lin'er, there is a suspicion of usurpation, and after succeeding to the throne, he killed the heroes, and the Ming Dynasty is still dignified, and it can even be said that the country is more than the Han and Tang Dynasties.
On the contrary, Zhu Yijun's sentence today, "Even if the three rivers are decided, Pan Ji must be dismissed from his post," is already a disregard for the lives of hundreds of people on both sides of the strait, and he did not hesitate to lose his life!
Wanli's holy decree quickly went through the process of sealing and refutation, making an edict, and was sent to the place where they should have arrived in an expedited period of 700 miles.
North of Jizhen, outside the Great Wall, Wild Wolf Valley.
In the late autumn season, the grass has become yellow, the north wind is blowing hard, the remnant sun is setting in the west, and the heaven and earth are dim, which adds a little bleakness and slaughter to the confrontation between the two armies and the Jin Ge Iron Horse.
Kill! Mongolian warriors wearing raw cowhide armor, everyone's eyes have been red, riding a galloping horse, frantically brandishing a sweaty scimitar, as long as they break into the Ming army's formation, they will cut the Ming soldiers to the flesh and blood, and the companions behind them outflanked and shot a deadly arrow rain with a stubborn sheep's horn bow, bringing a lot of casualties to the Ming army.
Kill! Wearing a mandarin duck battle jacket, the Ming army was slowly pressed up in a neat military formation, the infantry used the thunderbolt gun to load, aim, and fire, and the mechanical repetition of the shooting action, the cavalry on both wings came forward from time to time, and the electric gun was fired in turn, and the artillery in the position of the Chinese army used the tiger squat cannon, the general cannon, and the Franc machine on the carriage to bombard the circle and bombard, covering the flames of hell to the head of the Mongolian warriors.
On the battlefield of blood and fire, the banner of the word "Qi" is flying in the wind, Qi Jiguang is wearing iron armor, his face is as calm as ice, but the helmet on his head is like a dancing flame, seeing his sons fall in pieces, he did not waver at all, only ice and fire were intertwined in his tiger eyes.
On the opposite side, the wool of the Great Khan of Mongolia was still standing tall, but the hand holding it had wavered, and the palms of several Mongolian warriors were soaked in cold sweat, so slippery that they could barely hold the flagpole.
Under the wool daze, the heir of the Golden Family, the Mongolian Great Khan Tumen Khan, also showed panic in his eyes, he looked at Dong Fox beside him, and saw exactly the same emotion in the other party's eyes.
Qi Jiguang was invincible with his troops, and the Mongolian army originally relied on the speed advantage, and it was not a problem to escape, but they raised troops to fight the grass valley in the south, and they were always a little unwilling to go back like this, but they were glued up by Qi Jiguang and blocked in the Wild Wolf Valley, and the two sides could only fight to the death.
Lightning and thunder, flesh and blood flying, three consecutive days of rotational battles...... If the Mongolian army is a tide of death, then the new army trained by Qi Jiguang is an endless flame, the black wave is constantly scorched by the red flame, slowly evaporating, and now it is the end of the strong crossbow.
"Could it be that the heir of my golden family, the dignified Mongol Great Khan, is going to die here?" Tumen Khan looked at Qi Jiguang's banner in the distance in despair, and the enemy on the opposite side was simply invincible.
Dong Fox's voice was crying: "The Han people have a saying, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, let's quickly disguise and run away, as long as we are recognized as small soldiers, no one will come to chase them!" ”
Run, of course, you can run, but this army that was recruited with great difficulty is completely finished...... Tumen Khan felt his heart ache.
Hey, Qi Jiguang's banner is shaking, what's going on? The Mongols saw a scene that surprised them greatly, and Tumen Khan rubbed his eyes in disbelief, the banner that was as steady as Mount Tai was indeed moving backwards! And Qi Jiguang's flaming red helmet is also invisible!
Qi Jiguang of the Chinese army, a lieutenant envoy, and a director of the military department are passing on the order: "Order the border army officers and soldiers, do not provoke the border without permission, Qi Jiguang, the chief military officer of Jizhen, was transferred to the chief military officer of Guangdong, and the headquarters should return to the camp immediately, and there must be no mistakes!" ”
