Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 786 Believe it or not

Only with silver can one have a good year. The Spring Festival in the palace is different from that of the common people. It is extraordinarily luxurious and lively. Emperor Wanli liked this kind of romantic drama. Ever since Tianjin Wei had a million taels of gold flowers and silver sent , there are even more tricks for this festival in the palace.

However, from the Spring Festival to the seventh day of the 12th year of Wanli, it was not bad. There were laughter and laughter in the palace, but it was not as indulgent as in previous years, because people in the palace were sensitive and could feel the worry of Emperor Wanli.

After the seventh day, the news from Shanxi began to become discontinuous, and Emperor Wanli's mood also became bad.

What makes people laugh and cry is that during this period of time, there are not many people who are officials and scholars in the capital.

The news received in the palace was delivered by the messenger sent by Wang Tong, which was more intuitive and quicker than the inquiries of civil, military and internal officials from various places in Xuanda University.

But after the seventh day of the first lunar month, the news is not delivered every day, but the content of the news is not bad. It is nothing more than a smooth progress. The enemy cavalry is spying on our army and dare not approach Yunyun, but other documents sent from Shanxi But it was not like this. It was nothing more than the fact that the ministers heard that the official army was defeated outside the Great Wall, and the slaves heard that the Tartar army was gathering, and the official army could not resist, and there were memorials and urgent letters asking for reinforcements to continue to be dispatched.

Emperor Wanli naturally believed in Wang Tong, he felt that the situation was fine, and there was one thing, the memorial made by Ma Dong, deputy general of Datong Town, was quite objective, and what he said was very factual. I don't know the truth here, but Mr. Wang is very capable of running the army, how could there be such a big defeat, and Guihua City is only two days away from Datong Border Pass, if there is something wrong, why is there no trace? .

The words are taboo, but Emperor Wanli also understands, that means, it is said that there is a big defeat, if it is really a rout, there will always be someone from more than 5000 cavalry running to the side wall, why there is no trace, it can be seen that it is all teleportation.

Even though Emperor Wanli believed in the so-called three people becoming a tiger, he couldn't help but keep talking everywhere, and his mood would naturally not get better. So it came to the 25th of the first month, and the news was completely cut off.

The clamor of officials and scholars has gradually risen, the news has really been cut off, but the people dare not confirm it, and the speech suddenly quieted down.

No matter how bad the situation was, a few defeated soldiers would come back to report the news, and the Tartars would send people to show off their power, but there was no news at all. Could it be that they were really surrounded and no one escaped.

Until the 28th of the first lunar month, there was a big uproar in the public opinion. In the memorial, some people began to scold Wang Tong for his great success, which caused disaster for the country and the people. Ten years of frontier peace breaks down.

Such treacherous traitors should be convicted, ransacked their families and wiped out their families, and liquidated them as soon as possible, otherwise there is no way to return justice to the people of the world, and there is no way to rectify the country's laws and family rules.

Someone in the court had invited himself to Tianjin Wei to investigate the remnants of Wang Tong's party, so as to prevent the remnants from continuing to do harm, but Emperor Wanli, who had always been silent, was angry and scolded this time.

Compared with the chaos and confusion in the capital, the merchants in Tianjin Wei are very stable. Although some big merchants have also begun to prepare, there is no change or panic overall.

According to several leading figures, Mr. Wang killed Tartars like cutting vegetables. When he lost, he took 3000 people to the grassland and brought back thousands of heads. Now this is an army of nearly [-]. Not enough to kill at all.

***************
"Zhang Banban, is there something wrong with Wang Tong?"

At today's court meeting, Wang Xijue, the second assistant, proposed that the first department of Tiaoliao Township be stationed in Huangxian County. If there is an emergency in the capital, it can respond at any time. In a high position, you have to wait for the real results to draw conclusions on anything.

At present, there is no official document from Datong, Shanxi to explain the victory or defeat of Wang Tong's army, but every letter sent privately contains various rumors from Shanxi.

When Wang Xijue raised this matter, in a sense, the waiter center was also very pessimistic about the battle situation, which made Emperor Wanli feel very bad.

During the discussion, Emperor Wanli naturally wouldn't show it, but after returning to the imperial study, he couldn't help asking questions.

After all, Zhang Cheng was getting old, and now he was the eunuch who was in charge of rites and seals, and his affairs were complicated. Even if he served the emperor in the imperial study, he usually set up a desk under the Wanli emperor's case, where Zhang Cheng handled government affairs.

Hearing Emperor Wanli's question, Zhang Cheng frowned and raised his head from the memorial, but gave Zhao Jinliang a wink, Zhao Jinliang immediately opened the door of the imperial study and went outside.

Zhao Jinliang cleared his throat outside the door, and when the people inside heard it, Zhang Cheng stood up and asked solemnly:
"Long Live Lord, I would like to ask you, Governor Xuanda and the Governor of Datong, have you submitted any memorials saying that the officers and men led by Wang Tong were defeated? I have never seen the documents in the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Could it be that there is a secret document?"

With the relationship between Zhang Cheng and Emperor Wanli, even if it was a secret book, he would not hide it. This sentence can be said to be a question knowingly. Emperor Wanli was stunned, and said angrily:

"Zhang Banban is playing tricks again, you know what the widow said, and the current situation."

Zhang Cheng apologized, but interrupted Emperor Wanli unceremoniously, and said:
"Long live lord, now Wang Tong's victory or defeat is unknown, the capital has become so noisy, officials and scholars are all talking nonsense, and many people are asking for errands in Tianjin Wei, wanting to make a fortune there. If you lose like this, if you know you've lost, what will happen?"

Emperor Wanli who said this was stunned, and then reacted. Emperor Wanli slapped the table severely, and said angrily:

"If you lose, I'm afraid they will take whatever you have now, and what you finally caught will be distributed to these people."

"Long live Lord, although Tianjin Wei has nothing to say, no one in the world knows that it is the city of the Son of Heaven, one of the sources of internal treasury, but there are still so many people asking to go to Tianjin Wei to be an official. These days, the noble family of the capital How many people sent someone to intercede, this is where to put the Long Live Lord."

Zhang Cheng said in a cold voice with a sullen face. Emperor Wanli's face was twisted, and he muttered "bastard" and "bastard" in his mouth. Zhang Cheng said again:

"Long live Lord has the power today, and he is arbitrarily ruling the world. Long live Lord Ying will only have today today, but among them, Wang Tong donates more than one million taels of gold and flowers and silver every year. The inner treasury is abundant, so that Long live Lord can deal with the imperial army and the Beijing camp. The general rewarded generously and seized the military power of the capital. Wang Tong set up the Department of Public Security and rectified the Jinyiwei, so that Lord Long Live could have sharp eyes and ears, and he could know all the troubles in the capital's officialdom. Many things could be planned and decided in advance. Establish the Tiger Army to deter those who have evil intentions, and let the Lord Long Live make orders like his own, and no one will disobey them."

".I know what you said. I can be the real son of heaven today. Wang Tongli has great achievements, but now is not the time to talk about it. Wang Tong's victory or defeat on the grassland is unknown, and he doesn't even know whether he will die or not. What is the use"

"Long live Lord, if Wang Tong is defeated on the grassland, someone will definitely hold him accountable, and everything will be unstable. Everything he has done for Long live Lord will be questioned and wanted to be taken away. At that time, the chief assistant Maybe it needs to be more powerful, slaves can't do this palm print, and another palm seal may be like Feng Bao again."

"Touch!", Emperor Wanli thumped the table heavily, gritted his teeth and said:
"I am the Son of Heaven, who dares to offend Tianwei like this! Do you want to be punished by the nine clans!?"

But Zhang Cheng didn't answer. Emperor Wanli looked up impatiently, only to find that Zhang Cheng was bowing in a direction, but this direction was not directed at him. Emperor Wanli felt very strange. He was about to ask a question but he realized it. The direction Zhang Cheng was aiming at was not elsewhere, but the Compassionate Palace.

"The mother's side. But the mother's side no longer asks about political affairs."

"Long Live Lord, Marquis Wu Qing is now in charge of the Beijing Camp."

"Over there, uncle."

Li Wei, Marquis of Wuqing, has passed away. Li Wenquan, the eldest son of Marquis of Wuqing, took over the throne. When the Sanyang Sect was in chaos, those in charge of the military needed to find someone they could trust. Li Wenquan was naturally chosen. Up to now, this task has not been handed over, but the routine of the Beijing camp , is actually managed by the Youdu Yushi and the Lijian Bingbi eunuch with the title of Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

But Empress Dowager Li's power is unparalleled. Although she has faded out now, no one can ignore her influence. As the empress dowager's brother, Li Wenquan naturally has different powers.

Emperor Wanli thought for a while, shivered unconsciously, and asked in a deep voice:

"I don't know whether Wang Tong will win or lose, but in this situation, I really can't make any good plans. What should I do?"

"Long live, the Beijing camp can't do anything in a hurry. The Yumajian warrior camp and the four guards camp can still be caught. I don't know what the situation is, but we should plan in case. Tianjin Wei's gold flowers and silver this year have been sent Enter the inner treasury, please ask Long Live Lord to allocate money, distribute military salaries in advance, win the hearts of the soldiers, reward the generals generously, and stabilize their minds, so that when it is really useful, they will not be caught off guard."

Lord Long Live nodded, and Zhang Cheng said again:
"Datong didn't come here with any official document, it was in the process of marching and fighting. I don't know the result. Long live Lord just looked for this one. Now if he impeaches Wang Tong and convicts Wang Tong, it's easy to blame Long live Lord. , Shanxi will confirm one day later, and Long Live God will have one more day."

Zhang Cheng pondered for a while, and just said:
"Over there in Tianjin."

Zhao Jinliang's voice sounded outside, and he announced:

"Long live God, Hongyu, the lady of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, asks to see you
