Daming heir

Chapter 406 Who is the traitor and who is the official army

The military officers laughed very nakedly, not targeting anyone's sarcasm, but it echoed in the palace corridor in front of the Meridian Gate.

Now the generals Xungui in Beijing, that is, Tang Li and Chang Sen, are usually low-key and friendly.Unlike those few generals who left the capital, they were always thunderous and extremely majestic.

The honorable generals smiled and laughed, as if they were sitting and watching the show.

As for the civil servants, it became more and more silent, and even the people who were still whispering together a moment ago, most of them became quiet.

Zhai Shan has been very sad recently.

As the new Minister of the Ministry of Officials after Zhan Hui, I have worked a lot of days, but I often feel exhausted physically and mentally at night when no one is around.

Above the court, most of the officials are still the same people, but it makes him feel that they are not the same people in the past.

Wenyuan Pavilion is more and more involved in the ruling of the government. Although up to now it is only assigning the priorities of state affairs and some comments, it affects the final judgment of the emperor and the prince all the time.

Zhai Shan looked back.

In the long line of civil servants behind him, the young head of the Department of Anthology of the Ministry of Officials is so dazzling and eye-catching.

The position of doctor in the Department of Wenxuan of the Ministry of Officials of the fifth rank is still vacant.

I have played several times, asking the emperor to appoint officials to fill the vacancies, but I have never received an answer.

When Zhai Shan once saw the smiling face of the prince and said a few words to the young director of Wenxuan Department, he finally reacted.

Who said that there is a vacancy for the post of doctor in the Department of Wenxuan of the Ministry of Officials?
The officials in the court had a sense of their own well-being, but there were also some imperceptible barriers between the six ministries.

Ren Hengtai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Ru Yuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, walked very close.Yu Xin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was also very close to Wang Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.As for the Ministry of Punishment, it was probably because of the Sanfa Division that they stopped playing with the Six Departments and went to hang out with Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all day long.

Zhai Shan coughed lightly: "Today's court meeting, His Majesty is in charge of the government. It has been more than a month since the great victory in Henan Province, but there has been no news of the rebellion in Shandong Province for a long time. Should the Ministry of War make more efforts to smooth the water transportation as soon as possible to protect our Ming Dynasty from north to south?" Traffic to and fro?"

Ru Yu was lowering her head, chatting with Ren Hengtai about something else in a low voice.Hearing the official's question, he frowned slightly and raised his head, but first glanced at Ren Hengtai beside him.

Ren Hengtai didn't speak, just smiled and gave him a helpless look.

"Zhai Shangshu should ask this question to the governor's mansion. The Ministry of War is now only coordinating money and food, and examining the merits of the army. Besides, Zhang Zhiyuan, the commander of the capital of Beiping, is not already in Shandong Province. I heard that it is quite Yan Yan. His Royal Highness appreciates and trusts him, and the army is out at the moment, changing with the trend, there will be news coming back sooner or later."

Zhai Shan couldn't speak for a while, he just wanted to get someone to chat casually at this time.And Ren Hengtai and Ru Yu are also the objects he has always hoped to win over in the court.

There have been cooperations in the past, but they just follow the trend.

But at this time, Zhai Shan was a little bit persistent: "I don't know anything about the military strategists on the front line, but if the rebellion on the Shandong Road is rampant, what about the water transportation? The food and supplies prepared by the household department should be sent to the Nine Sides as soon as possible. It is used by the military and the local area."

Ru Yu hummed, and looked at Mrs. Hubu Shangshu indifferently.

Ren Hengtai was in a good mood, he was doing the errands of the Ministry of Rites, he wandered around when he had nothing to do, eating tea and drinking, if he was ten years younger, he would go to touch and sing again.

He snorted and said: "The water transportation is not available, so we can go by sea. Could it be that the grain and supplies from Jiaozhi Road and Zhancheng Road all climbed into Yingtian City? Send a letter to Wuning Prince's Mansion in Zhongshan, and ask the Xu family to come forward, how much?" Can't the food and grass supplies be sent to Jiubian?"

In the past two years, the noble families of Daming, headed by the Xu family, have almost brought Daming's shipbuilding and transportation industries to a new level.

Every day, there will be more and more large ships built, sailing from Jiaozhi Road, all the way north, or stopping at Hangzhou, or sailing into the mouth of the Yangtze River and docking at the Longwan Wharf outside Yingtian City.

No one wants to give up the untold riches of the South.

As for the high mountains and the deadly miasma and pests in the south, some of them were filled by laborers from the Japanese kingdom.

That's right, after mining the minerals in the Central Plains and building bridges and roads, the Japanese have a more noble cause of struggle, which is to open up new lands in the south for the Ming Dynasty.

The sea transportation force headed by the Xu family is enough to send the materials raised by the household department to Jiubian.

However, when Ren Hengtai said these words, an invisible slap was already slapped on the face of Hubu Shangshu Yuxin.

Yu Xin snorted twice, and didn't look at the crowding of these people, but just looked at Wang Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry: "The Ministry of Industry should also produce a big ship equipped with a steam engine."

Wang Jun also did not speak, nodded and shook his head, no one knew what he was thinking.

At this moment, Hubu Shangshu Yu Xin turned his head to look at the other people, his eyes were calm, and he didn't say a word.

After just watching for a few times, Yu Xin rolled up his sleeves, turned his head to look into the palace, raised his head slightly, picked up his steps to speed up, and walked towards the palace.

Since Ren Hengtai took the seat of Minister of Rites, he has really no longer had any more expectations in his life.

He was a little out of place, with his unruly hands clenched together, he bumped into Ru Xun beside him with his shoulder.

Ru Yu frowned and looked over, showing puzzlement.

Ren Hengtai whispered: "What's wrong with him? Who is he fighting with?"

Ru Yuan looked at Wang Jun who was also chasing after him, and said with a snort, "I think you've offended them."

"Heh!" Ren Hengtai immediately sneered, curling his lips: "Recently, the Ministry of Rites has nothing to do, so I will write a few memorials to impeach them later."

Ru Xun blinked, looking at Ren Hengtai who was completely beaming in the hall, she didn't know what to say for a moment, she could only shake her head helplessly.

At this time, Zhai Shan came over and said softly, "It's about Shandong."

Ren Hengtai's eyes turned, but he tilted his neck and said: "What's wrong with Shandong, is the water transport going through if he says it works? Or is it because the rebels say they don't have it?"

Zhai Shan was bumped, opened his mouth, and finally shook his head and said, "This Shandong is not that Shandong."

"Shandong is Shandong, it is the Shandong Road of my Ming Dynasty, and it is the Shandong Road that His Majesty's imperial power reaches!" Ren Hengtai still muttered a few times with his mouth curled up.

Zhai Shan was a little helpless, but suddenly felt that what this guy said was not wrong at all.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and when he raised his head again, Ren Hengtai and Ru Yu had already walked to the front side by side.

Zhai Shan looked around, feeling lonely for a while.

He looked to the side and rear, and there were people from the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple. When they saw Zhai Shan looking over, they all lowered their heads and just walked around.

Zhai Shan rolled his eyes, then looked aside again.

It's the envoy who came to levy.

Lai Zheng saw that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was staring at him quietly, without reacting and thinking, he just cupped his hands, and then raised his head to look at the sky of thousands of miles, as if he wanted to see the difference in the sky today.

At this point, Zhai Shan gave up his thoughts of nagging someone, shook his robe and rolled it up, hid his folded hands, and continued to walk towards the Fengtian Gate behind the Meridian Gate.

The imperial gate in front of the Fengtian Hall is where the government is held, and it is the highest-standard court meeting besides the national court ceremony.

The emperor personally presided over it, and the crown prince stood beside him. All the civil and military officials in Beijing were required to be present, and the direct relatives and military guards sent additional troops to guard the palace.

When all the ministers had passed through the Meridian Gate and saw the Fengtian Gate, the entire palace had already been set up.

Dressed in armor, Shang Zhiqin Junwei Yousi placed guards inside and outside Fengtian Gate, and distributed them up and down the steps in front of Fengtian Hall.

There are also armored soldiers lined up outside Fengtian Hall, lined up at even intervals, extending from Fengtian Gate to Meridian Gate.

Then there is Jinyi Weiyu who bestows flying fish clothes and embroidered spring knives, along the axis of His Majesty's steps, guarding among the officials and the emperor.

In the entire huge palace, banners and flags fluttered in the wind, and the surroundings were silent and solemn.

The four captains of whip whips stand under the Fengtian gate in the south of Fengtian hall, distributed on the left and right, holding whips and facing north.

The Jiaofang Division displays Dale on the east and west sides of Danbi, facing north.

The Department of Rituals set up Tongwen and Yubo cases on the east side of Danbi.

The canopy is floating, and the dragon chair is placed on top of Danbi, where you can sit and watch the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty in front of the hall.On the east side of the dragon chair, there is a top chair on the side, which is the position of the crown prince.

When the last official passed under the Fengtian gate, the four whip-strike captains began to slightly turn the wrists holding the whip.

The imperial court supervised the censor, corrected mistakes everywhere, and warned officials who stood in the wrong position or behaved wrongly.

The dewy cool wind blew over and over again, but no one said a word.

The censors began to withdraw from the official group, and the eunuchs of the 24 Yamen passed the news to the Fengtianmen.

The long whip woven with yellow silk and waxed on the tip began to twist like waves under the dancing of the four whip-calling captains.

At this time, the morning mist introduced into the palace, fascinated the Fengtai Luan Pavilion, and the auspicious aura wrapped Fengtian Hall.It can be said that the willows are smoked and the willows are blowing the flags, and the palace flowers with dew are welcoming the swords and halberds.

Just at this moment.

Under the Fengtian sect, the school captains of whip whipping have already driven the long whips in their hands with all their strength.

With the skills inherited from the Zhou Li era, the long whip is driven to make a louder sound under the Fengtian Gate.

There is a record of Zhou Ritual: In charge of the whip to make things happen, when the king comes in and out, there are eight people in the road, the public is six people, the marquis and the uncle are four people, and the men and sons are two people.

There was a crack of the whip.

Pull all the inheritance from last week back to the 28th year of Ming Hongwu today.

When the second and third whips sounded.

The whole Yingtian City seemed to be echoing with the sound of the loud whip.

There were three faint blows of the clean whip, and there were two classes of civil and military classes at every level.

The sound of the whip was still floating in the sky in front of Fengtian Hall, and the civil and military officials in front of Majesty Dan had already stood quietly, silently.

The sound of footsteps came from above Majesty Dan.

The accompanying canopy was the first to reveal its figure, followed by Zhu Yuanzhang in the emperor's uniform, and half a step behind him was Zhu Biao in the same uniform of the prince.

Behind them are a large number of 24 yamen eunuchs and servants, as well as Han generals in golden armor.

The head of the inner palace, Sun Gou'er, the chief eunuch of the 24 yamen, held the saint's arm in his hand, greeted him to the dragon chair, and then slowly stood on the edge of the highest step.

The loud and energetic voice came out in front of Fengtian Hall, and reached the ears of civil and military officials.

Even after a complete set of etiquette was completed, Zhu Yuanzhang, who could sit on the dragon chair and overlook the officials, waved his hand casually.

Sun Gou'er said loudly that all the ministers can do whatever they want.

It can be said that Yu Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, was the first to pass through the Meridian Gate and Fengtian Gate today. Even if he popped his legs and swayed from side to side, he got out of the train.

He waved his arms, and on the hands that were originally holding the wat board, there was an extra memorial.

Yu Xin bowed and knelt under the steps of His Majesty.

"Chen, the scholar of the Wenhua Palace, the Minister of the Household Department, Yu Xin, has a book to play."

On the steps, Sun Gou'er was a little surprised that the Minister of the Household Department took the top spot today.

In the past, it should have been said by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials that he should be the first to act. This is not a rule, but a rule.

Zhai Shan was also a little surprised, but he readily accepted it.

I didn't have anything to say today, and following the young head of the anthology department who always respected Xie Jin as Mr. Xie Jin, he had already done all the work for the official department.

Sun Gouer issued a quasi word on behalf of the emperor.

Holding the wat board, Yu Xin held the memorial and said loudly: "The minister impeached the commander of the capital of Beiping, the commander of the guard capital of Yanwangfu, and was ordered to rebel on Shandong Road in Pingzhen. Zhang Zhiyuan led the army south, but did all kinds of illegal things.

It is called suppressing rebellion, but in fact it is doing rebellion.Wrapping the army across the countryside, disturbing the people, causing the people to panic.

Zhang Zhiyuan didn't hear the dissuasion from the yamen of the various departments of Shandong Province, and the troops were stationed without going out. His intentions were unclear, and he was suspected of disrespecting the order.For nothing, it wasted money and food from the court, and delayed the frontier war.

Zhang Zhiyuan disregarded the ubiquity of rebels on Shandong Road, and allowed the rebels to make chaos for months, but they could not be put down.However, he spread messages and led the army south to Qufu, disturbing Yan Shenggong's mansion.More than ten thousand troops were stationed outside the Confucian mansion, digging deep trenches, spending gunpowder every day, and disdain day and night.

At this moment, everyone in Yanshenggong's mansion had blood in their eyes, their faces were bleak, the courtyard walls of the Confucian mansion were about to collapse, and the statue of the saint was shaking.

I will establish the country with filial piety, do benevolent and righteous deeds, and respect the words of the most holy.Now there are arrogant soldiers doing their own thing, causing harm to the local area, waiting for rebellion, and harassing the most holy people's homes.

It is called the counter-rebellion army, but in fact it is doing rebellion.

I would like to ask Your Majesty, all these things, are we the officers and soldiers of the court, or the traitors who caused disaster?
If you don't share with the people of the world now, who will be able to distinguish who is the traitor and who is the official army in the future? "

Yu Xin's remarks directly broke the sky.

There was no sound in front of the entire Fengtian Temple.

And after Yu Xin.

It was Wang Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, holding a wat board and memorials, and knelt down beside Yu Xin.

"Chen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Jun, second."

"Zhang Zhiyuan arrogantly indulged the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, harassed the Shandong area, ignored the rebellion, did not think about suppressing the rebellion, coerced the army, used it for personal affection, and vented his anger with weapons. The minister thought that this was a disobedience! This person has a different heart! A judge will interrogate and convict him!"

This is already the second time that six ministers came out to impeach Zhang Zhiyuan, who was far away in Dao, Shandong, to counter the rebellion.

"Chen, Cao Ming, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, seconded the proposal."

"Minister, Wu Bin, Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, seconded."

"Chen, the right servant of the Ministry of punishment, come to respect and second."

"Chen, the Right Chancellor of Dali Temple, Xia Shu, second the proposal."

"Chen, the right servant of the household department, written by Qi, seconded."

"Chen, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, Jiang Yi, seconded."

"Minister, the Ministry of Rites will give the matter a second, Wei Fan."

"My minister... seconded the proposal."

"Seconded."

"..."

Following the impeachment of Yu Xin and Wang Jun, the two ministers of the six departments, all the officials from the six departments, five temples and three jurisprudences, and the yamen of all the departments of the Manchu dynasty came out, kneeling in front of the many steps according to their ranks, Self-declaration of official position, verbal secondment.

The sound of seconding lasted for a long time, making people feel that it was almost as long as a stick of incense.

When the last rank-ninth official knelt down and was about to reach the position of Fengtianmen, the voices of the second rank finally stopped.

The sun in the sky has climbed to the mid-air position at this moment, shedding bright rays of light.

On the square in front of the steps of the Fengtian Temple, the two sides should have been the place where hundreds of officials stood, but the civil officials' side was almost empty.

A gust of wind blew past, and it was no longer as cold as when it was just entering the palace.

However, Bai Yuxiu, head of the Anthology Department of the Ministry of Rites, who was surrounded by empty people, still shivered and shuddered for no reason.

Is this a counterattack by Yingtian Chaotang officials?

Is it a response to the former Fan Jinyiwei Dasuo Yingtian's officialdom, or is it a silent opposition to the reforms that are being implemented in various ways?

Or, which family are they protecting Shandong Road?

In the front row of the civilian train, Zhai Shan turned his neck stiffly, and there are only Ren Hengtai and Ru Yu beside him.

"When did it happen!"

Zhai Shan was really angry, so many officials came forward for impeachment at the same time, but as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he didn't know it at all.

Now in the eyes of the emperor, what exactly does he do as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and whether he can do the work of the Ministry of Officials well and manage the court officials for the emperor.

Neither Ren Hengtai nor Ru Yuan spoke.

Da Jiuqing, who was standing behind the ministers, and the general secretary, the general secretary Lai Zheng, took a step forward quietly, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The news was sent from Qufu. Officer, it's just that the officer thought..."

"Why didn't you tell Officer Yu!"

Zhai Shan turned his head fiercely, glaring at Lai Zheng, the Tongzheng envoy who obviously knew about it in advance.

Lai Zheng restrained his expression and looked at the top of the steps: "Zhai Shangshu thinks that if he knows, he will be able to suppress this incident?"

Zhai Shan's eyes flickered, his body shook, and there was a panic in his heart.

These people are running for His Majesty.

Regardless of whether Zhai Shan is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials or not, whether he can control these officials, these people will cause this impeachment today.

crazy!

These people are crazy!

How dare they do what they are doing now, do they really think that they can force His Majesty to punish Zhang Zhiyuan?
Do they really think that His Majesty is the one who will back down later?
Zhai Shan immediately turned his head and looked at the Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Yu: "The Ministry of War, Zhang Zhiyuan led the troops south to Shandong Road, what the Ministry of War thinks of what they have done!"

Ru Yu pursed her lips, and glanced sideways at Di Shan who was already in a hurry: "Shang Shu Zhai thinks that this matter is something that my military department can handle?"

Zhai Shan opened his mouth and was dumb for a while.

He immediately raised his eyes to look at the court military officers on the other side.

Zhang Zhiyuan was just an introduction, and no one knew whether the gang of crazy people would expand and extend the impeachment storm to the meritorious generals of Ming Dynasty in the next moment.

At this time, Zhai Shanduo hoped that the group of meritorious generals who had acted rudely in the past would be able to babble and wave their fists the size of sandbags, and beat up the group of civil servants kneeling for impeachment in front of them.

It is best to beat these people for half a month and not be able to get out of bed.
