Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

"What did you say?"

Liu Yuanbin couldn't believe his eyes. The rest of the civil and military officials, even Yang Sichang, were taken aback.

"Today's incident was nothing more than the two of you's designs to make me and the supervisor fight left and right, resulting in civil and military discord. Unless you are eunuchs, who else can think of such a low-level trick!"

If Liu Yuanbin and Lu Jiude's design is perfect, Zhang Shouren must be embarrassed today, at least he is in a dilemma.According to Fang Kongzhao's previous example, he immediately offended He Renlong and the people on both sides of the Beijing camp, and at the same time embarrassed Yang Sichang.

If you ignore it, you will be at both ends of your head, and you will be unfair in dealing with things, and your reputation will inevitably be damaged. [

And even if Zhang Shouren was tough, it would be rumored that he disrespected the supervisor and did not know how to touch people. After all, Dengzhou Town went south to make meritorious service, and it was Yang Sichang who ignored the past and sent them south to have the chance to kill Zhang Xianzhong.

This kind of reputation spread, coupled with the challenge of the entire system of civil servants using literature to control martial arts, although this system is already crumbling, but as the first person to break it, his image will definitely be severely affected.

This design is not a coincidence, but it is based on the fact that Zhang Shouren or Yang Sichang did not dare to turn against Liu Yuanbin and Lu Jiude.

The facts are very clear. Those who dare to do such a thing must be behind these two people. In Xiangyang City, there is no second force that has the qualifications and courage to do such a thing.

Zhang Shouren dared to yell at the case, which was beyond the eunuch's expectation.

Liu Yuanbin trembled with anger, pointed at Zhang Shouren, and said tremblingly: "You, how dare you..."

"Eunuch, if you are on the battlefield, disturbing the morale of the army, and causing trouble on purpose, so what if I will kill you?"

Zhang Shouren was still furious, looking directly at Liu Yuanbin.

Under his gaze, the two eunuchs retreated a few steps.This retreat, I knew it was wrong, but I just couldn't help it.Zhang Shouren's aura was really too frightening.

This is the awe-inspiring murderous aura of fighting in the sea of ​​corpses in the past few years. It is the self-confidence of the commander for many years, and it comes from the strong strength of the soldiers in Dengzhou Town. Without these, it is reckless. With these, it is a terrifying momentum. .

"Rong Chengbo, let's give the court a little bit of decency today..." Yang Sichang said helplessly.

Up to now, things have become very difficult, and the two sides have to report to the imperial court, and have to go to the pen and ink lawsuit.However, given Zhang Shouren's current smoldering situation, even offending two eunuchs is no big deal. Chongzhen can't take away his earl and general just because of this. Scolding is useless.

All the generals present looked at Zhang Shouren with envy. Generals like fierce tiger are alright, but they still have some doubts in their appreciation, like Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong, their eyes are full of fanaticism.

"Master Supervisor, forgive me for losing my composure."

Zhang Shouren cupped his hands and glanced down, even Fang Kongzhao couldn't help avoiding his gaze.When everyone saw that everyone bowed their heads, only He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu reluctantly looked at him, but among the generals of the Beijing camp, there was a bearded man who stood proudly, and his eyes did not give way.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Shouren nodded in his heart, then turned around and said to Yang Sichang: "Originally, I wanted to continue to serve under the command of the supervisor, but I argued with Fang Futai first, and then with the eunuch of the supervising army. It seems that Huguang is not a place where Dengzhou Town can stay for a long time... Don't blame Master Shangqi for the rudeness."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Shouren just turned around and left.Behind him, Yang Sichang's expression was extremely ugly, but after several incidents, he had no position to keep Zhang Shouren from leaving.

"Go away!"

Yang Sichang's face was ashen, and he walked away. [

Today's military discussion is based on the fact that Dengzhou Township is the absolute main force. All the towns will attack together in May and June to wipe out Luo Rucai's tribe. The newly appointed Governor of Fengyang took the credit and planned to wipe out Luo Rucai and Guotianxing this year, as well as staring at the remnants of Xiying. If Li Zicheng could be wiped out again, all his missions of going out to Beijing to suppress the thieves would be considered complete.

The abacus was not bad, but unfortunately things turned out to be counterproductive. After Yang Sichang returned to the inner hall, he dropped several cups and was still angry.Of course, he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Shouren's attitude. After making meritorious service, he first served as the governor and then supervised the army, offending all the powerful factions in Huguang.

At the same time, he was also dissatisfied with the emperor, leaving Fang Kongzhao and sending eunuchs here, it was of no benefit, it was just to add chaos.

Zhang Shouren begged to go, even if he stayed in Huguang, it seemed that it would not be of much use, so he could only try elsewhere.

……

The dispute over the military discussion, plus the conflict with Fang Kongzhao, there was a difference of more than ten days between the two events. The previous events were not completed, and a new conflict occurred immediately. For a while, the Tang horses in Xiangyang kept galloping northward, each Fang forces, including all civil officials who are qualified to submit the memorial, all went to Beijing to write the memorial.

Yang Sichang's memorial was the water horse post, which was the fastest of the three post-posts in the Ming Dynasty. After a few days, he arrived in the capital.Along with his memorial, there was also the memorial of Zhang Shouren, the memorial of two eunuchs who supervised the army, and the urgent memorials of two governors, Jianjun Dao and Huguang Xunyan Yushi, etc., also within a day or two, one after another. delivered.

Such a major event in Huguang, of course, the Secretary of General Administration did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent it to the cabinet. Such an important military matter, the cabinet did not dare to be self-sufficient, and immediately sent it to the inner court.

Because there is no quotation and posting of pornography, it means that the cabinet has no opinion. Wang Dehua, the supervisor of ceremonies, and others, whether they are writing or eunuchs, feel that the situation is serious, so they immediately sent it to Chongzhen's desk in Qianqing Palace.

"Hey, it really is the true qualities of a general, and he has no scruples about the overall situation!"

The continuous memorials that came like snowflakes quickly filled Chongzhen's desk. The general soldier of Ningyuan died a while ago, and the Qing soldiers ordered Chongzhen to be very nervous. Unsolved, Zu Dashou Feizhang was in a hurry, which caused Chongzhen a great headache, but looking at the overall situation, Li Zicheng had no news at all, Zhang Xianzhong gave the leadership, Luo Rucai fled, bandits like Ge Zuo Wuying have never had great ambitions, and they are not enough to cause trouble.The thieves that had plagued Chongzhen for many years showed signs of calming down, which made Chongzhen very happy. During the Chinese New Year, he ate a little more for every meal, and at the same time, he went to the residence of Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan and other harem concubines. ... If it was normal, he would not have this kind of mentality and physical strength.

But within a few days of the good times, before the Lantern Festival, there was a conflict between Zhang Shouren and Fang Kongzhao. Chongzhen had just arranged Fang Kongzhao as a restraining son, and this happened underneath, which made him very unhappy.

This matter can only be reconciled with the mud, but the mud has not been reconciled, and there is a new conflict.

It's really pressing the gourd to float the ladle, which is endless.

"Wang Daban, what do you think?"

Generally speaking, Chongzhen would not discuss military affairs with eunuchs. At least on the surface, eunuchs cannot openly participate in state affairs, and can only serve as full-time duties such as supervising the army, guarding, and guarding. Today's matter is related to the eunuchs supervising the army , Chongzhen hesitated again and again, and asked Wang Dehua for his opinion.

"Returning to the emperor, the servant thinks that the most important thing is to get along with the former supervisor and the general. The servant read the memorial of the general, and the eunuch who supervised the army failed to ask for bribes, so he deliberately framed him. Even in the supervisor's memorial, it is also a tendency There are many generals, and there are many eunuchs who are wrong in the front governors and inspectors..."

"Okay, you don't need to say any more!"

Wang Dehua seems to be persuading, but in fact it is a thorough criticism.

The supervisor in front and the general in charge of the army are united as one, and there are local officials flattering and rushing around to obey orders. This situation is much more dangerous than the thieves...

Kings have always been suspicious, and Chongzhen was no exception. When Wei Zhongxian was there, he entered the palace to inherit the throne, stayed up all night, and read books by the sword. In fact, if Wei Zhongxian's power at that time wanted to murder him, I am afraid that his behavior would be useless.At this time, after hearing Wang Dehua's words, a sense of great danger immediately hit Chongzhen's heart...Compared with domestic slaves, the integrity of civil officials is not so trustworthy, and military generals are even more untrustworthy!

"I don't believe there is such a thing as extorting bribes." [

"Slaves and maids don't dare to guarantee that they are gone... The emperor might as well recall Liu Yuanbin and Lu Jiude, and punish them with responsibility, as a warning to their successors."

"I'm going to think about this matter before I talk about it... You should step back first."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

Wang Dehua is a palm print eunuch, so he doesn't need to be on duty at all, and unlike ordinary eunuchs, he doesn't need to sit on duty in the Qianqing Palace and stay up all night.

It was getting late, and the palace was about to deliver money and food. After he resigned, he sat in a sedan chair and left the palace from Donghua Gate. The sedan chair carried him all the way to the vicinity of Dong'an Gate... His private house was outside Dong'an Gate. , it is very close to the Imperial Palace, and he is not a civil servant, so he needs to enter the palace through Chengtian Gate, so it is much more convenient to live here.

After returning to the mansion, there was already a long line of sedan chairs waiting outside the gate, Wang Dehua glanced out of the sedan chair curtain, and when he entered the door, he ordered: "Only Eunuch Cao is invited to come in, there will be no other guests tonight. "

Upon hearing the order, Menzi invited Cao Huachun to come in, and all the other visitors were driven away.Many guests had been waiting since Xiangwu, and they waited until now for Wang Dehua to come back, but after the eunuch said a word, all the guests left with smiles on their faces, without a single complaint.

"I've seen Mr. Yin."

Cao Huachun also just came here not long ago. After entering the door, he greeted him and hurriedly said: "Yin Gong, what is the emperor's intention? Have you made a decision?"

Wang Dehua took off his python robe, changed into a Ning silk short jacket for home use, put on a warm hat, and sat on a cushioned chair. Another servant brought him a small bowl of ginseng soup, which Wang Dehua drank slowly.

While he was doing these things, Cao Huachun sat across from him, waiting obediently. The newly appointed eunuch Dongchang, the admiral, was as respectful and honest as a boy with curly hair in front of the eunuch.
