Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

"It's really ridiculous. Is it up to you, Mr. Fu, to control how the headquarters will perform in front of the saints? It's useless to train soldiers, and it costs food and money. Is this what you, Mr. Fu, say alone?"

"The lower official is just out of public interest. If the old man doesn't listen, the lower official will have his own district, and then he will tell the truth. The lower official must remind the cabinet that the state and military affairs will not be good if this situation continues. There has been no news in the area of ​​Xiangyang for two days, so the experience of the next officer is probably not good."

"Hehe, listen to your respect!"

"Then, I will take my leave, and the old man will stay."

One of the two is the dignified old man who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and Yang Sichang, a scholar of Dongge University who is in charge of the Ministry of War. [

The other one is Fu Zonglong, who is a well-known soldier among the governors, and his evaluation in later generations is not bad. Although the top governors among the governors during the Chongzhen period are not comparable, they are also considered capable talents.

Two big men, even if they want to kill each other, they shouldn't have such a brazen quarrel, it's too unlike an official, it's like a trafficker.

Everyone present, including the servants of Yang Sichang's mansion and a few officials who hadn't left, were dumbfounded at this moment, with strange expressions on their faces, but they were really glad to see such a good show with their own eyes.

Yang Sichang's face turned pale with anger, he just kept regretting in his heart, and also felt a burst of terror.

In his mind, these people must have guessed that he had lost his holy family, so they dared to step on him like this. Since he was an official, because he was from an official family, he was appreciated by the emperor after he became an official, and his official career was smooth sailing, so no one has ever Dare to humiliate yourself.

After being an official for more than ten years, only one Lu Xiangsheng dared to argue with him face to face, but Yang Sichang divided his soldiers and cut off his food. In the end, Lu Xiangsheng died behind the giant deer. Yang Sichang also said that it was not Lu Xiangsheng's body, and he delayed for a long time before allowing Restraining and burying him is a complete revenge.

Now another Fu Zonglong popped up!

With complicated feelings, he said to Fu Zonglong in a very disgusted tone: "The loss-making department recommends you, you are really blind!"

"Old man!"

Fu Zonglong sternly said: "The lower official thinks that the minister's recommendation of the lower official is out of public interest, not a personal favor."

"Yes, yes, please go, I won't send you far!"

"I don't dare to say goodbye!"

The two first-rank officials really tore their faces like this. Fu Zonglong left angrily. Yang Sichang's complexion was pale and his chest was heaving. feet up.

"Ministry, I will retire."

"The next official will come to visit again tomorrow, and the cabinet should rest early."

Several officials, looking at Yang Sichang's face like gold paper at this time, were all scared out of their wits. Yang Ge is not a good tempered person, and he holds grudges very much and loves face. Fu Zonglong can't help it now, if he vents his anger on himself On the head, that is really unfair.

All of them lowered their heads, clasped their fists and bowed, said a few plain words, and then slipped away.

"If you don't send it, you won't send it far away."

Yang Sichang was upset, and although Fu Zonglong was hateful, it also reflected the current overall situation.In the 12th year of Chongzhen's increase in training salary, it was claimed that 73 soldiers would be trained, but the salary increase was more than [-] million yuan. [

As soon as there is a warning, there are still no soldiers and no pay everywhere, and the situation is getting worse than that of Chongzhen's early years.

The result is so unbearable, and now the court is criticizing him, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Yang Sichang.

Of course, if the holy family is still there, all this is not a problem.Yang Sichang was still secretly arranging the peace talks with Donglu, and the emperor couldn't do without him for this matter. For a while, he might not do anything to him.

It's just that if there is another defeat in the south, it's really hard to say whether the emperor's mind will change... Then, whether to wait for the emperor's decree, or invite him to go out, is also a lot of thinking...

While Yang Sichang was pondering, Wu Changshi also made up his mind, took a step forward, bowed down and said: "I have seen the old man."

"Oh, it's here."

After all, he is the backbone of the Fushe. Although his talent is unknown, Yang Sichang is not willing to underestimate him. He nodded and said rather coldly: "What's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow. The students are tired today."

"The next official has something important to do, and I want to report to the old man face to face."

"Okay, please follow the students to the flower hall to talk."

Wu Changshi used to come to Yang's mansion, although he could not be invited into the small study room, at least he was in the inner living room, but now he is doing well, just talking in the big flower hall.

He showed a wry smile, knowing that if he couldn't satisfy Yang Sichang today, he might not have the chance to be on the guest list allowed by the Yang Mansion in the future.

"Elder Ge, the purpose of coming here today is to enroll Zhang Shouren."

Yang Sichang looked cold, but Wu Changshi decided to go straight to the point: "I don't know what the old man's plan is?"

"Having a plan is also Xue Hancheng's plan. Zhang is his disciple. If the student has any plans, can he stay out of it?" Yang Sichang's expression became more and more indifferent. Wu Changshi was simply inexplicable.

He has a grudge with Zhang Shouren, and the matter of Denglai seems to be worth making a fuss about, but can Wu Changshi inquire about this matter at will?

"Hehe, for the matter at hand, I can only say one thing. If the emperor intends to invite the supervisor of the cabinet to go south, it is best for the cabinet to have an elite soldier. Denglai Town is brave and elite, and it is worthy of use. That's all for the official, sir. I am tired, please resign!"

"Okay, no more."

Yang Sichang was really upset, he couldn't digest Wu Changshi's words for a while, and he firmly believed that he didn't have to go south to supervise the teacher, so his expression was still very cold, he picked up the tea bowl and touched it to his lips.

"see a visitor out!"

Yang Fuchang yelled with a long voice, and sent Wu Changshi, a bad guest, out.

"Hmph, you arrogant people, the petty ministers talk about big politics, and those who restore the society take themselves too seriously!"

As soon as Wu Changshi left, Yang Sichang began to curse without grace. [

He is a representative figure of northern scholars and bureaucrats, and he has never liked Donglin and Fushe. Wu Changshi's Fushe background and Zhou Yanru behind him are all political enemies that Yang Sichang is very wary of. Today Wu Changshi's abruptness and words are even more abrupt. Since Yang Sichang was very disgusted, he would not take this matter to heart.

……

……

The next day does not fall on the third, sixth, or ninth day, and it is not a day for regular court meetings. There is no need to get up early to arrange the court meeting. Yang Sichang slowly rushed to the cabinet after Chen Shi, and when he arrived at his duty room, he just sat down. A young eunuch broke in and announced, "Let Mr. Yang meet at the Wenhua Palace."

"The minister obeys the order."

Yang Sichang knelt down and hurriedly accepted the order, and asked the servant: "Dare to ask my little eunuch, what happened?"

"I don't know yet, I only know that Cao Banban hurried to Qianqing Palace, his face was very unsightly, after entering the palace, not even a moment later, the emperor sent a decree to meet Mr. Ge at the Wenhua Palace... Mr. Ge, hurry up. "

"Oh, I see."

Yang Sichang was so upset that he gave a piece of silver ingot to the young eunuch. Originally, his long-term follower could just do such a thing, but today he was so excited that he actually took it with his own hands.

"Thank you, Mr. Ge."

Fortunately, the little eunuch didn't know much about the rules, so he took it without any surprise, and thanked him with a happy bow.

Yang Sichang smiled wryly, and said in his heart: "If you leave here, it will be difficult to get these news."

With this thought, I thought again: "No matter what, don't ask yourself to go out, anyway, the emperor can't leave me now!"

With fixed thoughts, he didn't panic too much. When he arrived at the Wenhua Palace, Chongzhen had already been waiting for a long time.

The emperor was wearing a light yellow uniform dragon robe and a sky blue woven crown with golden wings. He was sitting on the golden platform. He was in his early thirties. His hair was already gray and his face was deeply wrinkled. He was huddled in the dragon chair, a little You can't see the vitality of the youth, and the whole spirit is no different from that of a middle-aged person.

Seeing Yang Sichang approaching, Chongzhen did not eagerly give a seat, say hello, and give tea as usual, but waited for Yang Sichang to kowtow before slowly saying: "Mr. get up... As you know, there was an urgent report from Xiangyang yesterday. Liangyu, Zhang Renxue was defeated again at Luohou Mountain, losing more than [-] soldiers, and his deputy Luo Dai was also captured by the bandits!"

The more Chongzhen said, the more angry he became, and he attacked the case and said: "The ministers wronged the country, and the generals joined forces, but they were unable to defeat the bandits, but they were humiliated by the bandits!"

Yang Sichang hurriedly knelt down again, and kowtowed with his head off: "I recommend Xiong Wencan, he should be punished for the crime, please the emperor take this minister down, hand it over to Yousi, and punish him severely!"

"I have been running the world for more than ten years. If I use ministers, the ministers will dereliction of duty, and if I use small ministers, the ministers will be corrupt. The state affairs have come to this, which can be lamented! Now I decided to question Xiong Wencan and set a heavy code, thinking that following mistakes will ruin the precepts of the frontiers .Although Qing recommends an inhumane person, it has already been punished with a three-level reduction, so there is no need to talk about this matter."

This tone was also very rare when Chongzhen spoke to Yang Sichang with a heavy tone. Yang Sichang felt his back sweating, kowtowed on the ground to thank him, and he didn't even know what he said.

"Nowadays there are few supervisors in Huguang area. Fu Zonglong recommends Governor Fang Kongzhao of Huguang to be a seasoned and capable man who is good at training soldiers, knows how to fight in battle, and is also very talented in controlling generals. What do you think about recommending this person as Huguang governor?"

Only then did Yang Sichang know that Fu Zonglong had already seen him, and Chongzhen's anger probably had something to do with this person.

He guessed right. Fu Zonglong criticized Yang Sichang for spending money on food and salaries during his Majesty's meeting before, and he got nothing from training salaries and military training. The military mistakes for a while are mainly responsible.

To be honest, what Fu Zonglong said was probably right, but he had already been reprimanded by Chongzhen.

In Chongzhen's view, Fu Zonglong was recommended by Yang Sichang, and now he is really ungrateful to openly attack the master, so he reprimanded this person heavily, and his impression was very bad.

Of course, Chongzhen thought about the reasons for Fu Zonglong's attack, and felt that it was only true to recommend inhumane people, so he beat Yang Sichang just now.
