Jinyi champion

Yang Shen really wanted to ask his father, how to deal with the resourceful and aggressive little emperor?

He wanted to say something for Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun, and call them back as soon as possible.

Now that Yang Shen is in the Hanlin Academy, without Yu Chengxun and Zhu Hao helping him with things, others seem to still be respectful, but it feels more like a perfunctory, it is a kind of awe of his father, and he is just keeping the etiquette Yang Shen felt that Yu Chengxun and Zhu Hao were the ones who could really help him.

When Yang Shen walked out of his father's study, he was still thinking about what Yang Tinghe said just now.

"...Don't bother your second brother. He is currently preparing for the national exam. I hope that the title of the gold list next year will once again add luster to the lintel of my Yang family."

These words hurt Yang Shen.

Yang Shen faced the night sky, feeling extremely melancholy.

In order to wrestle with the little emperor, the father frequently made strange moves. It seemed that the father had won, but in fact, his father's control over the court situation, especially the announcement war, was on the verge of collapse. His father was full of trust and expectations for his younger brother Yang Dun. to him……

First, he flatly rejected the emperor's kindness to promote him as a servant, and then transferred away Yu Chengxun and Zhu Hao, who were trustworthy by his side.

He knew that his father suspected that there was something wrong with the people around him, and even his son was implicated.

"At first, I wanted to say that maybe Mao Gong and Jing Dao were doing things for others, and I was willing to catch this undercover agent for my father, but now it seems that my father is very disappointed in me. I vented my anger...has he heard my opinion recently?"

In the past, when Yang Shen proposed something, even if Yang Tinghe didn't accept it, he would still encourage him.

But now Yang Shen obviously feels that he has fallen out of favor with his father, and his father no longer regards him as a trustworthy adviser, at most, he can tell him to take care of things, and if there is nothing to do, he will immediately chase him away.

……

The war situation in the Northwest deteriorated step by step.

The Tatar offensive became more intense as the autumn harvest season approached.

Although Daming's farms in the northwest were not as good as those of the previous generations, after all, the base was there, and a large number of food crops were still planted.During the autumn harvest season, the Tatars broke through the pass and entered the Daming Fortress to plunder. The officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty basically huddled in the castle, and the Tatars became farmers instead, putting down their weapons and using sickles. The first thing is to harvest the farmers in the fields, and not keep any animals that can be taken away.

This combat mode... is actually similar to that of a bandit.

Not even robbers, more like a group of refugees passing through the border like locusts.

But it was just such a group of Tatars who went to the fields to harvest grain after entering the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army had nothing to do with them.

After all, the Tatars were on horseback, and their individual combat capabilities were much stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty's army. In addition, after Chen Jiuchou became the Governor of Xuanda, the military and politics of the place were in chaos, and it was impossible for the top and bottom to work together. Chen Jiuchou was familiar with the three sides. Xuanda's situation is only half-knowledgeable, so that the governor's government decree can't even get out of Datong Mansion, let alone Piantouguan or Xuanfu's defense.

No one is willing to take responsibility, so when it was discovered that the Tatars could break through the pass and drive straight in, almost all the soldiers and horses chose to hide and defend. …

Just grab it.

Please leave early after the robbery is over, we will not pursue, at most we will go out of the city to put on a show, so as not to be impeached by the censor, and the rest...

Do your best to obey the destiny.

……

……

The selection of three held in the inner garden of the imperial palace has officially ended.

Of the three queen candidates, Zhu Si didn't ask Zhu Hao for any advice, and he made the decision entirely from his heart. The wheel of history rolled forward, and he still chose the Chen family.

Following Chen's election as empress, Chen's father, Chen Wanyan, who was just a raw student, was instantly promoted to be the Minister of Honglu Temple, but it was only a temporary post rather than a real one. , but with the tradition of conferring the empress's father in the Ming Dynasty, Chen Wanyan will at least be an earl in the future.

Queen selected.

Then let the Ministry of Rites draw up the details of the wedding.

Thanks

Immediately, the Ministry issued a note on etiquette, setting it as the second day of the ninth month to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth, and ancestral temples, and set the wedding date on September [-]th.

At the same time, Zhu Si proposed amnesty for the world.

This proposal was opposed by ministers...

At the celestial court meeting, four cabinet ministers came out together to oppose Zhu Si's amnesty proposal, which suddenly made the relationship between the monarch and his ministers very tense.

Coming out of Fengtian Hall, Minister of Rites Mao Cheng talked to Yang Tinghe alone, asking about the amnesty.

Mao Cheng said very directly: "Is Jiefu worried that His Majesty's actions are aimed at targeting the former emperor's old ministers? He wants to excuse them and let them return to the court as soon as possible."

Yang Tinghe remained silent.

Now everyone can see that what Yang Tinghe has done in the military and political affairs of the northwest is very unpopular. After being transferred back to the capital, Zang Feng was immediately dismissed and interrogated. Although Zang Feng has not been imprisoned, he is still under house arrest.

Chen Jiuchou, who succeeded Zang Feng, obviously did not ease the situation in Xuanda. Xuanfu, Datong, and Piantouguan are now sending emergency military reports to the court every day, constantly asking the court for money.

Now the imperial court can't even get a tael of silver.

The new emperor is not in a hurry.

It was like waiting to see Yang Tinghe joke.

Aren't you, Yang Tinghe, going to take Zang Feng down and replace him with yours?

Now that something happened, you should bear it, don't talk about turning around and asking me to take money from the inner palace again... This time I won't provide you with a penny, so I don't want to be taken advantage of.

Mao Cheng said: "If the battle situation does not improve, we can only discuss with His Majesty about the deployment of troops, or send someone to control the nine sides, or use the three sides to control the military affairs."

Mao Cheng made another suggestion.

Don't you, Yang Tinghe, feel that the transfer of troops from the three sides may intensify the conflict between the three sides and Xuanda?
Why don't we just mobilize troops, and even Li Yue, the governor of the three sides, also controls the nine sides as the governor of the three sides, so that he can handle the military affairs of the nine sides by himself, and then let Li Yue move the government from Yansui to Xuanfu, this skipped over Chen Jiuchou...

Yang Tinghe replied coldly: "Can the situation be stabilized with such an announcement?"

Transferring troops and horses from the three sides to Xuanda will easily cause big fluctuations, and now you have to transfer the governor of the three sides?What do you think, Mao Cheng?

You are a minister of the Ministry of Rites, why are you so concerned about the affairs of the Ministry of War?Does this matter to you? …

Since you are so assertive, why didn't you come forward to propose in the court?Instead, come to my side to give advice alone?Why should I listen to you?
Mao Cheng smiled wryly.

He originally racked his brains to help Yang Tinghe think of countermeasures, but unexpectedly he got such an answer.

Ever since the controversy over the ceremony, Mao Cheng found it difficult for him to gain Yang Tinghe's trust. He wanted to use the Xuanda crisis as an opportunity to change Yang Tinghe's opinion of him, but he never thought... It seemed that the conflict had intensified.

Mao Cheng naturally knew that this was because the new emperor kept putting pressure on Yang Tinghe, which made Yang Tinghe's mentality unbalanced.

Yang Tinghe is not saying how headstrong he is, but it is no longer possible for him to refer to the opinions of everyone around him on everything. At this time, Yang Tinghe, as the commander in chief of civil servants, has to engage in "one word".Only in this way can the little emperor's ambition to encroach on civil power be curbed.

Yang Tinghe himself did nothing wrong.

If Yang Tinghe continues to let everyone come out to participate in the discussion, he will learn from each other in the end... Maybe the little emperor will kill all these civil officials in the end, and the civil official group has not yet discussed and come up with a countermeasure.

Yang Tinghe used a kind of arbitrariness as a last resort, in exchange for floating people's hearts, for Yang Tinghe, it was more like worsening the situation.

……

……

Zhu Hao is still on his way south.

Rafting down the canal, you can't see too much scenery along the way, but you can also see a lot of customs and customs.

Zhu Hao himself was very relaxed and comfortable.

He didn't even bother to find out what happened in the capital... He assumed that going to Nanjing was a public trip.

"

...Respectfully, I have already greeted people and asked the people on the shore to ride horses to the water station in front to help with packing. We will start later tomorrow morning. The journey has been too hasty these days, so take a good rest tonight. "

Unlike Zhu Hao, Yu Chengxun can become a monk with a pure heart and few desires.

This time without family members, Yu Chengxun was a bit overwhelmed after traveling for six or seven days. Obviously he wanted to take the opportunity to "relax" on the shore and find a place for recreation. You can find anything you look for.

Zhu Hao said: "Brother Mao Gong, shouldn't we travel all day and night and arrive in Nanjing as soon as possible? Are you sick and still need to rest?"

Zhu Hao was very dissatisfied with Yu Chengxun's attitude.

It seems that you came south with me to spy on me, but in the end you couldn't bear it yourself, and you wanted to run to the shore to find a place to spend time and drink, and it seemed that you didn't plan to bring me with you.

I know that you are Yang Tinghe's son-in-law, even if you are going to drink flowers and wine on the shore, you have to hide it, but if you do this, don't you forget your own job?
Yu Chengxun blushed and forcefully argued: "Actually, I went to the shore to ask about the situation in the south. I said we didn't bring many people with us on this journey south. If there are people in the south who are really corrupt and corrupt, it must involve Nanjing's garrison yamen or local generals. , they may be disadvantageous to us, it is better to find out more about the truth.”

Good reason.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, this is a well-thought-out speech, right?

"Then... you've worked hard, brother Maogong."

Zhu Hao cupped his hands.

"Everywhere, they are all serving the court."

Yu Chengxun smiled at the corner of his mouth, his eyes sparkled, and he looked like a spring breeze.

He probably thought that he would be able to relieve the distress on the road at night, and he was already looking forward to it at this time, and even felt that Zhu Hao was easy to deceive, and he had a kind of joy of fooling others.

……

……

into the night.

A group of people checked into the official post.

Sure enough, Yu Chengxun took his people away and ran to the shore to have some fun.

Zhu Hao was in the room, taking out a book to read.

Not long after, Yu San sneaked into the room and whispered to Zhu Hao, "Master, Lu Qianhu sent someone to see you."

"Lu Qianhu? Isn't he in Yongping Mansion? It's not close to here..."

Zhu Hao was very surprised. Lu Song obviously went to the west of Beijing to coordinate the mining affairs, and he was not on the accompanying list, so why would he send someone?Then there is only one possibility, Lu Song has encountered trouble in Yongping Mansion.
