Come to Daming with military supplies

As I said before, Liu De is the only one of the six Shangshu who is from Nanjing.Because of this, he looks particularly special, which also makes many people look at him with a hint of jealousy in addition to envy, and naturally some people are dissatisfied.

Among the dissatisfied, the most important one is Yang Shan, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Zuo Shilang is a member of the third grade, just one step away from Shangshu.But often it is just one step away, and many people are too poor to reach it in their entire lives.This requires not only holy family, qualifications, ability, popularity, but also luck.

Yang Shan seems to be less lucky.There is Liu De on top, and he is not much older than him. Under such circumstances, it is really difficult for him to get ahead.

Because it is difficult, it is difficult.

The difficulty is not that there is no hope at all. For example, as long as Liu De retreats, his chance will naturally come.For this reason, whether Yang Shan intends it or not, it is difficult for him to be on the same page as Liu De in his work, and the problem of internal consumption has arisen.

Of course, Liu De had already discovered this.But he also knew that this Yang Shan was very popular, and he walked out of the battlefield with Yingzong, so he seemed to have more friendship than others. It can be cleaned up.

It should be said that Liu De also has some skills, knowing what is going on, but not making it public, just keeping some things in his heart, waiting for the right opportunity to hit him with a blow.Now the opportunity has come, the emperor wants to send someone to Beiming to discuss matters, speaking of which this is the first real contact since the establishment of Nanbeiming.I'm afraid that everyone has no confidence in this matter, so he put the job on Yang Shan's head. This seems to be a meritorious and official business, but why isn't he wearing small shoes?Because everyone can see that Zhu Qizhen doesn't want to pay too much, but also wants to get things done, which is probably not easy for anyone to do.

3Chapter 16 Yang Shan's Path Ahead

Even if things go wrong, Yang Shan might be insulted.At that time, he will be able to attack this person openly and soundly.

Of course, there was another reason for sending Yang Shan there, and that was to stumbling Yang Chendong.Didn't this person slap his wife and brother in the face in Hangzhou Mansion?Now he sends Yang Shan, who is relatively upright, to handle his affairs. If he can't do it like this, life will be even more difficult for Yang Chendong, who was originally a thorn in the eyes of Emperor Daizong.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yuan said his methods.For this, Liu De didn't explain, he just smiled and it was over.

Liu De made a move, and the job fell into Yang Shan's hands.When the imperial decree came, he was in trouble at home.

It is said that those who can become officials of the Ministry of Rites must have a good temper and be eloquent.Yang Shan's language ability is there, but his personality is a bit too serious, and to describe it specifically, he is a bit outspoken. His temperament is rare among diplomats, so it is easy to offend some people at work. .It was also thanks to Hu Wei's appreciation and help that he gained a firm foothold in the Ministry of Rites.This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Qizhen did not promote him to a higher level and let him be the Minister of Rites.

Of course, Yang Shan's ability is still good, especially his execution ability.It is precisely because of this that he became the left servant of the Ministry of Rites without too many people opposing him.

But no matter how capable he was, what happened this time also stumped him.Yingzong wants to use loyalty and bravery to let himself talk about things in front of Daizong, but the imperial decree does not give him any power. On the contrary, the meaning is still vaguely saying that Yingzong is one level older than Daizong, and those who can use the other party are also giving the other party face .

This kind of condition stumped Yang Shan.This has also become a mission that cannot be accomplished at all. It is a pity that Yingzong is still too arrogant at this time. I am afraid that even if he goes to explain it, he will not be able to explain it clearly, but it will make Long Yan unhappy.

Yang Shan really wanted to ask the emperor to ask for some conditions on this matter, since he asked others to help, he couldn't use the tone of command, he always needed to give some benefits.But it's a pity that he might not be able to see him, because he once offended Cao Jixiang and Menda at work.

Cao Jixiang, the great eunuch next to Yingzong, and the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, was just like the previous Wang Zhen.He once participated in the performance of one of his eunuchs because of his unreasonable behavior. Even if Cao Jixiang came out to intercede in person, it was useless.With this Liang Zi, at this critical moment, naturally he would not want to see the emperor.

Menda, Commander of Jinyiwei.He is also one of Yingzong's most trusted ministers, responsible for the defense and security of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto.This person also had hatred because a relative wanted to join the Ministry of Rites and went through Yang Shan's relationship, but was rejected.

Both powerful ministers have been offended, and he has not received the imperial decree to be received by the emperor, so how difficult is it to enter the palace to face the emperor?At this moment, Yang Shan realized that he had actually failed in life. At the critical moment, no one was willing to speak up for him. Could it be that he wanted to destroy his Yang family?

With the decree, there is no room for bargaining.Liu De obstructed it and asked him to leave Beijing for the northern capital within 24 hours, that is, within two days, saying that the matter of Zhongdangong was very urgent and there must be no delay.

There was an imperial decree, and there was oppression by the superiors, so Yang Shan was stubborn and didn't ask anyone. Within twelve hours of receiving the imperial decree, that is, the next morning, he left the capital.Although he knew that it would be very difficult to complete the task on this trip, if he didn't go, the Yang family would be in bad luck. It seemed worthwhile to exchange himself for the safety of the family.

When Yang Shan left, he didn't even greet anyone, he just took the corresponding documents that could prove his identity and left.When he left this time, no one was optimistic about him, and there was even a faint cry from the entire Yang Mansion, as if he knew that the master's going this time would be bad luck, even if Daizong didn't kill him, he would not be able to complete the task At that time, I was afraid that Yingzong would not spare him even if he came back.

Due to the defeat in the last battle in Lijing, there was someone behind him who established the king of Yi as the emperor.Since coming to Nanjing and Kyoto, Zhu Qizhen has been more careful in doing things.For example, he is more cautious about the concurrent management ability of his subordinates.For Yang Shan, a third-rank official in Beijing, it is natural that there are secret guards in front of and behind the mansion.

Normally, they stare at everything here, and if they find any abnormal behavior, they will respond in time.But now that Yang Shan is gone, and he listens from the outside, there are mournful cries every day in the mansion, which makes the Jin Yiwei who is in charge of monitoring also feel sympathetic, and the guard becomes lax.Even when they saw some theater troupe entering Yang's mansion, they didn't check too much. The play was sung for three days before it ended. When I come down, there will still be crying sounds from time to time.

Yang Shan took the relevant documents to prove his identity, and traveled all the way from Nanjing through wind and rain. It took only eight days to complete the distance of nearly 1000 to [-] kilometers, nearly [-] miles a day. Enough torment.

But Yang Shan had no choice but to do this, because he was worried that if he neglected something, he would add another layer of guilt. So much so that when he arrived at the capital, he fell ill and collapsed.

With Yang Shan's arrival, the capital had already gotten wind of it.And under the exaggeration of Liu De and others, what he came for has been known in advance.

In the Jinluan Hall of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu had already pushed away all the things on the dragon case in a fit of anger. At this time, his chest was still panting violently, which showed that he was very angry.

It's no wonder that the news from Liu De is that Yang Shan came to the capital as a representative of Yingzong Zhu Qizhen to reprimand Zhu Qiyu.No king, no father, no brother, no ministers are the four major crimes. It is the so-called demonstration of the righteousness of Nanming, which means that Nanming is the orthodox identity.

As for talking about Yang Chendong, it has become a incidental matter, giving people the feeling that using you from the Northern Ming Dynasty is giving you face to King Tan.

When the news came on the first day of the lunar new year, Zhu Qiyu had already lost his temper in the palace. He heard that a little eunuch who didn't have eyes was kicked twice because of it.This time was the second time he got angry in the main hall. Relatively speaking, it was more of an act for the officials to see, and it was also a temptation.

Anyone who can enter this temple is not a mature person.At this time, everyone lowered their heads, and when Shi Er raised his head once, his eyes were also filled with anger, expressing dissatisfaction with Beiming, dissatisfaction with Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, support for Daizong Zhu Qiyu and the desire to stand together determination.

In any case, Yingzong was once everyone's master.The ancients said that if a loyal minister does not serve the second master, if you can still stand here, you have already lost your role as a courtier.Naturally, it is not good to criticize anything at this moment, otherwise it will be bad for reputation if it is spread out.

The courtiers in ancient times regarded reputation as extremely important. At least on the surface, they did everything well. It was for this reason that they knew that Yingzong had gone too far, but still no courtiers stood up and said something.

Everyone's silence may be the main reason for making Zhu Qiyu angry for the second time.

He himself knows the process of Zhu Qiyu's ascent to power, and it was an extraordinary move in an extraordinary period.It was because of this that he was even more worried that things would happen again. If these courtiers overthrew him like they pushed him to be the emperor, what would they do?At that time, maybe it was impossible for him to go back to be the King of Tan.

He was afraid in his heart, so he needed his subordinates to express their loyalty. Only in this way could he feel a little more at ease.If not, one day when he confronts Nanming's emperor brother Zhu Qizhen, who knows if someone will stab him behind him?

One side is probing, but the other side is thinking about their own reputation, which forms an invisible confrontation, just like now, no one speaks, and an awkward atmosphere naturally arises.

"What? Don't you have anything to say?" In the Jinluan Hall, the atmosphere was very quiet for a while, and finally the young Zhu Qiyu, who was wearing a golden dragon imperial robe, was a little impatient and took the initiative to speak.But there was a bit of anger in the voice.

The emperor was angry, and the officials were worried.

But it's just apprehension, it wouldn't be so frightening to say so.This time, it's not that a certain person doesn't express his opinion, but that all the smart people are doing the same thing. Based on the mentality that the law does not blame the public, why should everyone be afraid?

This is the so-called law does not blame the public.Even if you are the emperor, but the people below don't speak, you have nothing to do.Some people will say, isn't the emperor the biggest?If you are disobedient, you can kill him, but if you really do this, all the officials will be in danger, and who else would dare to work for you?Your country will naturally be unstable.

After questioning, still no one spoke, the angry Zhu Qiyu decided to call the roll call.He wanted to force everyone to express their opinions. Although this kind of practice would lose the emperor's face, he didn't care about that much for the sake of securing his seat.

His eyes scanned the group of officials, and he was the first to take a fancy to Hu Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Speaking of which, among the ministers, Hu Wei was the oldest, and Guan Hai had the longest career, having served several Ming emperors.At the same time, as a minister of the Ministry of Rites, the attitude on such matters is extremely important.Zhu Qiyu, who was looking at Hu Yan, said, "Hu Aiqing, let's talk about it first. Let's talk about the differences between the Northern and Southern Ming Dynasty, and who is the real orthodox?"

Suddenly being called out by name, Hu Wei, who was wearing an official uniform with a wat board in his hand, shook slightly.There was a burst of struggle and hesitation on his face, but he really didn't know how to speak.

3Chapter 17 Xu Youzhen Resists the Great Tripod

This time Yang Shan came to the capital as a representative of the Yingzong, he got the news very early, even faster than the court, and he also knew more inside stories.But it was precisely because of this that he was very embarrassed, and he didn't even adopt someone's suggestion to him. In his opinion, if he did that, he couldn't be called a true loyal minister. Perhaps the history books said will discredit its own existence.

The moment he decided not to adopt that person's opinion, Hu Wei was already ready to be furious by Longyan and be struck by a thunderbolt.It's just that at this time, he is still unwilling to accept why he has to be the first person to be named.

Zhu Qiyu asked bluntly, and choosing Hu Wei became the first target.The other courtiers watched all this with bated breath.Everyone knows in their hearts that this is the emperor who is going to take someone to the knife, unless you express your opinion directly, otherwise there will be no good results.But I just don't know how Zhu Qiyu will deal with it. After all, Hu Shangshu is a veteran of several dynasties, and he is still so old. What's more, he also has a grandson-in-law, Zhongdan Gong, who is an outstanding man.Not long ago, in a fit of anger, Yu Shiyue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was overthrown. He was also a person who was favored by the emperor, but none of them were kept.

Such a loyal and brave man is not just as simple as a title, but belongs to the truly capable one.But the emperor still took Hu Wei first, so it can be seen that this time it was for real.While the other courtiers were watching how Hu Wei would answer himself and how Zhu Qiyu would deal with it, they were also thinking in their hearts how they would respond once the next roll call was their own?

Hu Ming still stood there silently.From time to time, I think about what someone said to him in my mind, and on the other side, I am thinking about how if I do that, how will the history books evaluate me a hundred years later?

While struggling, time passed by, and Zhu Qiyu on the dragon chair seemed a little impatient. "Hu Aiqing, I'm talking to you, are you old and blind?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Zhu Qiyu was obviously furious, and even began to reprimand Hu Wei. He must have not received the response he wanted, and he would be furious, even if he was dismissed from office and punished. hour.One of the courtiers raised his head and stepped forward.

The speaker was none other than Xu Youzhen, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, a dignified official of the second rank.

"Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, you are naturally the Son of Heaven. When you ascended the throne, you gave an edict to the world and Liming, so you are naturally the ruler of a generation. Since you ascended the throne, you have stabilized the government, retreated from the tiles, and attacked Japanese pirates, making the world peaceful in the northern border. This is even more important. It shows that you are the image of the real Dragon Emperor. On the other hand, the Supreme Emperor, who was graciously granted by the Emperor, did not pursue the fiasco of civil engineering. After settling in Nanjing, he did not make any achievements. On the contrary, the southern royal family, princes and people are now rebelling. Yu Yu’s people have no means of living, so how can he face the common people in the world with such actions? At this time, he sent someone to reprimand the emperor, which is really ridiculous, ridiculous.”

After Xu Youzhen finished speaking, she really laughed three times in front of the courtiers.It's just that these three sounds have their own reasons.

The first laugh, he laughed at Emperor Daizong's lack of self-confidence. Now that he has become the emperor, how can he be afraid of others saying that he is orthodox?If he even cared about this point, it could only prove one thing, that is, he himself had preconceived that he was not orthodox.
