Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

The etiquette of He Shuo is very complicated, and after each He Shuo, as usual, the highest-ranking civil servants should encourage and reprimand all officials. Last time when He Shuo was held, Yang Sichang gave a lot of words of encouragement to the officials in Xunyang, Huguang. Encourage everyone to serve wholeheartedly, wipe out the thieves, and relieve the emperor's worries and confusion.

He is in a bad mood today, and he is also worried that news of the unfavorable battle situation in Dengzhou Town will come at any time. Once the police are called, the situation in Xiangyang City may become unmanageable. A lieutenant was assigned to guard the gate, and strict precautions were taken. The direction of Fancheng also ordered to raise the security level to prevent accidents.

Although these preparations have been made, the two cities of Xiangfan and the troops stationed outside the city are less than 6, and the bandit army has defeated officers and soldiers in a row, with a number of more than [-] or [-]. If they come all the way, the two cities of Xiangfan will face a severe situation.

With Yang Sichang's current prestige, it's hard to say whether he will be able to unite and defend the city to the death.

Because of this concern, after He Shuo, Yang Sichang hardly uttered a word, and led all the officials to the gate of the palace, each of them put in their manuscripts, and the governor of the palace collected them and handed them in. [

Not long after, the chief executive came out, and without looking at Yang Sichang, he said loudly in front of the door: "Your Highness said that the widow's birthday is nothing, but I hope that Mr. Yang can urge the officers and soldiers to put down the bandits as soon as possible, or make the bandits feel better." A little restraint, so that the widow will not be shocked overnight and cannot rest in peace, so it will be considered as a birthday celebration for the widow!"

After all, without raising his head, he went back to the inner palace directly.

This kind of attitude is obviously explained by King Xiang. Now the pro-vassals have no power. Except for some money and land, they have to rely on the help of local officials for everything on weekdays. If the local officials are strong, the pro-vassals will also suffer. During the Wanli period, many princes such as Zhang Juzheng suppressed many princes and couldn't hold their heads up. It was not because of a last resort, or because they were too angry. Today, King Xiang and his chief of the palace must not be so stern.

Yang Sichang felt as if he had been hit with a sap, and he was a little dizzy for a while. If it wasn't for a staff member who secretly helped him, he might have fallen to the ground.

"How dare he treat me so rudely!"

In his heart, Yang Sichang's anger was burning fiercely, but it quickly extinguished.

Today, I can’t say how good it is for relatives, but I can’t say it’s too bad. At least it’s obvious. Last year and this year, there was a lot of noise about donations and donations. But for those princes who are each worth several million or even tens of millions of taels of silver, they don't have the slightest thought of donating.

If the emperor can really make up his mind and ask the king of the county to help pay, I am afraid that this matter is really a little bit of a clue. After all, the surname in this world is Zhu, and the relatives have enjoyed all the glory and wealth for more than 200 years. The local people and gentry are extremely resentful Again, if you spend some money and food, it will be an excellent opportunity for the pro-vassals themselves to change their image.

It's a pity that the emperor still protects the real family and never mentions it, let alone anyone dares to mention it, so the matter of salary assistance has always been a farce from the beginning to the end.

Now King Xiang publicly embarrasses Yang Sichang, even if Yang Sichang is very dissatisfied, can he still sue a prince with the emperor?

As long as King Xiang doesn't involve rebellion and treason, he can't move at all!

Yang Sichang had a bad breath in his chest, but he could only swallow it!

At this moment, he felt extremely regretful and extremely resentful... Zhang Shouren, everything was wrong with this person, if possible, he must be put to death!

He also regretted it, if he listened to Zhang Ruoqi's words, did not trust this unscrupulous martial artist, and did not use it for profit, how could there be such a thing in front of him?

Thinking about it, I naturally hated Wu Changshi who had been restored to the society!

Yang Sichang was stunned for a while, but the officials of Huguang Xunyang who were on the side seemed to be watching the excitement and watching a joke.

This superintendent and assistant minister thinks he is the elder of the pavilion, a close minister of the emperor, holding a lot of power, and his complacent appearance is annoying to see, but he really holds the power of life and death. Fang Kongzhao, a veteran Donglin party member, was born He is impeached as the governor, the emperor has returned, and may send the Jinyiqi school to arrest people at any time... But now, he is humiliating the pro-vassal in public!

Just when everyone's hearts were happy, there were countless horses galloping here!

Someone changed face and said: "This is the flag officer of the Chinese army from the governor's yamen leading people to rush over!"

Yang Sichang's Chinese army flag was tall and handsome, he was a very conspicuous soldier, he was wearing a beautiful mountain armor, and a purple cape embroidered with small flowers on his back, he usually stood outside the White Tiger Festival Hall with a sword in his hand. The proud look on his face was very eye-catching.

At this time, the Chinese army with the rank of deputy general was anxious, and rushed to Yang Sichang. When he came to Yang Sichang, he rolled off his horse, knelt on one leg, and reported: "Gebu, there is an emergency pond report in Dengzhou Town. Crossed the Fancheng Water Bridge, passed through the city, and headed for the Yamen."

Yang Sichang's figure flickered, his eyes also became very fierce, and he gave the Chinese army a vicious look.

The other party was taken aback, and said in a very aggrieved way: "More than ten banners have come from Dengzhou Town, with great fanfare, and now the entire Fancheng area is known..."

"Okay, I got it!"

Yang Sichang didn't allow him to say any more, turned around and hurried away, no longer caring about etiquette.The officials present all changed their faces after hearing the news, and some of them were timid and trembling all over.

If the news is really unfavorable, you can know what the situation in the city is like without asking.

Yang Sichang was worried about this, so he ordered that even if there was an emergency military report from the front, he must hide the news and not disclose it at will.Unexpectedly, the Chinese army actually said it in front of civil and military officials, which made him very angry.

And Dengzhou Town is even more damned!

The Tangtang newspaper came with great fanfare. Yang Sichang had already arranged a lot of people in the direction of Fancheng. The news sent now must have been sent from Fancheng. After losing the battle, he dared to be so arrogant...

"what sound?"

"It seems that someone is making noise?"

"The situation is wrong, have the bandits entered the city?"

When Yang Sichang bent down to get into the sedan chair, the area from Fancheng to the south gate of Xiangyang was already full of people's voices, and the noisy sound was transmitted from the city gate all the way, the sound was so loud that it could be heard very clearly in this palace.

Everyone was in a state of surprise, and the palace chief Shi also sent someone out to ask what happened in the city, but at this time the officials couldn't say clearly, even Yang Sichang was kept in the dark and didn't know what happened.

"Good news, good news, great victory!"

"My lord, it's good news!"

"My lord, supervisor and assistant minister, the flag officer of Dengzhou Town has arrived, fly the red flag into the city, and report the great victory!"

Shouts came from afar, heading towards the palace. The palace has its own Forbidden City. Although it is low, it is isolated from the outer city. There were loud cheers, and in the always quiet and lonely palace city, it suddenly became noisy like a bustling city.

"Great victory...great victory?"

Yang Sichang stood in front of his big green woolen sedan chair, holding on to the pole of the sedan chair, feeling light and without any strength in his whole body, and felt as if he was about to faint.

This joy and sorrow really came too intensely, which made him a little bit unbearable. [

"The cabinet is careful!"

"Master Supervisor, be careful."

The staff surrounded him and surrounded Yang Sichang, and supported him with two hands, making Yang Sichang stand firm again, and some even helped him arrange the sash of his official robe, making him look like a first-class civil servant again.

When the sound of victory came closer, one could see first the pro-army cavalry from the governor's yamen, then the defenders of Fancheng, and even Yang Sichang's family member Cangtou, who also came on horseback at this time, naturally wanting to win a prize , to please the master.

And until the end, the cavalry from Dengzhou Town, dressed in lacquered red iron armor, with a six-petal iron helmet on their head, holding a red flag in one hand, and a waist knife in the other, rode slowly towards them.

There are more than ten riders in total, all of them are dressed like this, they are very strong, and they can't hide the proud look on their faces.

Behind them, there are countless heads, probably the people from Fancheng to Xiangyang, as long as they saw and heard along the way, they probably rushed over. Outside the entire palace city of King Xiang, one can see that it is densely packed Heads, it is not clear how many people there are.

"Order the Xiangyang government and county government to immediately send Ma Kuaizhuang, the third class of government servants, and the local Lijia must also go to the streets and press the ground, so as not to cause accidents. It is a good happy event, and it cannot be messed up."

In front of Yang Sichang, Song Yihe was full of energy and gave orders loudly.

His staff immediately acted on the governor's orders, and they ran very fast one by one. He looked like an old man in his 50s and [-]s, but he held up the hem of his clothes and ran away in a short while.

"Your Majesty congratulates Master Supervisor!"

After Song Yihe gave the order, he immediately lifted up the hem of his robe, not feeling cold, and knelt down in front of Yang Sichang, congratulating loudly: "Dengzhou Town has won, and there must be a big victory ahead. Master Gebu will visit Huguangshi in person on behalf of the emperor. In a month's time, there will be a great victory, the emperor must be very happy, and the supervisor will also be rewarded heavily, and I will congratulate the supervisor in advance!"

This Song Yihe is over forty years old, and his background seems to be from the Zhejiang Party or the Qi Party. Yang Sichang can't remember so much, but he is still a shrewd and capable official. These days Yang Sichang is not very proud, and Song Yihe also keeps his distance. Now that the news is coming. , the attitude changed immediately.

This is the norm in the officialdom, and Yang Sichang didn't like to argue with the people below, he nodded slightly, and said to Song Yihe: "Master Song, please rise up, my cabinet has suffered... I don't know exactly how the success will be..."

Song Yihe smiled and said: "The important thing is the real victory, as long as it is true..."

There are some things that need not be said, today's victory is known to the whole city of Xiangyang, and the momentum is great. Dengzhou Town has made such a big noise, it must have gained a lot, at least it must have repelled the attack of bandits.

If there are hundreds or thousands of beheadings, even if it is the confessed victory in the past, Yang Sichang's embarrassing situation in Xiangyang can be reversed.

Thinking of this, Yang Sichang's spirit lifted, and the expression on his face became more majestic.
