The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 376: Could the world’s soldiers be the king’s soldiers?

Jinyiwei has two traditional craftsmanship abilities to win over people. One is inducement, and the other is coercion.

Offering Yang Tinghe a price is an inducement. If that fails, Chang Feng plans to use a second traditional art.

Yang Tinghe hesitated for a long time: "The reason why I can sit firmly as the second assistant is ultimately because of the support of the six ministries, nine ministers, and local governors. If I side with the emperor this time, it will be equivalent to betraying the civil servants all over the world."

"I don't want to be like Mr. Li Dongyang and end up with notoriety after resigning."

Chang Feng said: "Well, you are a person who regards fame and wealth as rubbish. Naturally, you can't despise the price offered by the emperor."

"But I want to advise you. Do you want to see a second blank seal case and a second melon copying case in Ming Dynasty?"

In order to kill all the civil servants in the world, Emperor Hongwu launched the "unnecessary" empty seal case.

After Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, he launched the Guamanchao in order to eliminate the old civil service forces of Emperor Jianwen.

Yang Tinghe took a breath after hearing Chang Feng's words: "What does 伱 mean?"

Chang Feng said: "Over the years, the emperor has been wooing the officers and soldiers of the border army, Beijing camp, and garrison. Coupled with the great victory in Yingzhou, the emperor's prestige in the army has reached its peak."

"Whether you civil servants are willing or not, the officers and soldiers of the Ming army are willing to return to the personal control of the emperor."

"If you go against the emperor and insist on your military power, aren't you afraid that the emperor will find a reason to kill all the civil servants just like Taizu launched the empty seal case?"

"With the support of the soldiers of the Ming Army, and the emperor's willful temperament, he really dares to do this."

"By then, not only will the civil servants be unable to maintain their military power, but they themselves will be bleeding like rivers!"

"Anyway, the boat has been made. Why don't you, Yang Cifu, follow the current and obey the emperor?"

"Do you want to see all your colleagues' heads fall to the ground, with blood splattered three feet away?"

"As the emperor's master, do you want to watch the emperor do cruel things, like the great ancestor, and leave a comment in the history books that 'holy virtue is lacking'?"

After listening to what Chang Feng said, Yang Tinghe felt his hair standing on end.

Chang Feng added: "There is a saying among the people that it is shameless. The emperor will give you a golden staircase today, but if you don't walk up it, what the emperor will give you in the future will be the executioner's ghost-headed knife!"

"You have been the emperor's husband ever since he left the East Palace. You should know that there is nothing in this world that the emperor dares not do!"

Yang Tinghe said: "The emperor is not that stupid. After killing all the civil servants in the world, who will help him replace the herdsmen? Everything from the court to the localities will stop. The foundation of the Ming Dynasty will no longer exist."

Chang Feng laughed out loud: "Ha! What you said, I can describe it as 'a scholar's opinion' in four words!"

"During the reign of Grand Ancestor Taizu, he launched four major crimes and killed several civil servants all over the world. Has the Ming Dynasty fallen?"

"There are so many scholars in the world who want to be officials! Just kill the ones who are disobedient, and then fix it with another one. If the next group of people are still disobedient, keep killing them!"

"People, don't take yourself too seriously. Without someone in this world, the sun will still rise and the moon will set, and the four seasons will still cycle."

Yang Tinghe was speechless.

Chang Feng continued to scare Yang Tinghe: "During the battle of Yingzhou, the emperor personally beheaded a Tatar soldier. The emperor told you about this."

"But he didn't say how he did it. First he chopped off the Tatar soldier's left arm, then his right arm. Then he removed the two legs. Finally, he chopped off the head!"

"I was standing beside the emperor at that time. I could see that the emperor liked killing people from the bottom of his heart."

"Let me say something disrespectful again. Don't think that the emperor is a weak and kind-hearted late emperor. He dares to be ruthless and has the ability to be ruthless!"

"Do you know why the emperor allowed the escorting border troops to enter the capital?"

Yang Tinghe said: "I would like to ask for advice."

Chang Feng lied and said: "Oh, because the soldiers in the Beijing camp have been in the capital for a long time, they have more or less interactions with the civil servants in Beijing. The border army is different. Those Qiu Ba people don't recognize anyone except the emperor and a few meritorious veterans."

"If the civil servants do not agree with the emperor to take back the military power, all the emperor needs is a decree. The Qiu Ba people will kill all the civil servants in Beijing without mercy."

"Everyone says that being an official is good. There are endless delicacies to eat, endless money to spend, endless generosity to display, endless power to gain. Endless gifts to receive, endless wealth to enjoy, and endless years to live. . Endless bridal chambers, endless women to play with."

"If it really comes to the point where the border army kills civil servants, the countless concubines and maids in the civil servants' homes who are ugly, disheveled, and stunningly beautiful will be treated like nothings by the border army Qiu Ba!"

"The gold and silver in the homes of civil servants will be robbed by the frontier soldiers."

"I'm afraid the heads of civil servants will be turned into drinking utensils by the tyrannical frontier army Qiu Ba."

"My Yang Cifu. Thinking about that scene makes my hair stand on end. Do you want this scene to happen before your eyes?"

Yang Tinghe shuddered: "Brother Chang Feng, my Marquis Jin'an! Stop talking! Why don't I stand on the side of the emperor?"

Chang Feng clapped his hands: "Hey! Okay! We have an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, which is that those who understand current affairs are heroes. Yang Cifu is indeed a hero. I will use tea instead of wine to congratulate you in advance on your promotion to first minister. Come on, come on, have a drink. , and three more cups.”

Half an hour later, Chang Feng walked out of Yang Mansion. He stretched out and stared at the bright moon in the sky.

Basha came up to him: "Master Marquis, is the matter done?"

Chang Feng nodded: "Yes. It's done. It's a pimp. It doesn't take a lot of effort. No, it takes a lot of effort."

Chang Fengzhi returned home proudly.

Liu Xiaoyan said: "You must be exhausted after being out of the capital for so long. Go to Biyun's room quickly."

Chang Feng hurriedly swore: "The conscience of heaven and earth! I still value you the most."

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Come on. I'll be fifty-three after the Chinese New Year. I'll have nothing to do with anything. What can I do to make you care about me? Is it possible to take the dry road?"

"After riding a horse for several months, my lower body's energy and blood are not flowing smoothly. If I don't find a woman of my age, I may get gonorrhea."

Gonorrhea, the ancient name for prostatitis. (Note: So, reading novels will help you gain knowledge!)
Biyun was sixteen when she married Chang Feng, and she is twenty-two this year. It's the age when you can practice the 18th-level spring leg with your legs sideways. In the words of later generations, it is simply like entering a brand store with a duck neck - absolutely delicious.

Chang Feng said: "Ah, then I will go to Biyun's room tonight. I don't like the new and hate the old. It is really the lady's kindness, and I can't live up to it."

Liu Xiaoyan smiled and cursed: "Get out of here!"

Chang Feng entered Biyun's room. Biyungang called out gently: "Master."

Without saying anything, Chang Feng went up and took off her pants. (This paragraph was not good-looking, so I deleted it)
Men cannot accept old age. Just pick your ears and that's all.

Chang Feng stroked Biyun's winding hair and said: "Remember to pass a note to the palace. Just tell me, sir, I talked so much that my lips peeled tonight in order to persuade Yang Tinghe. When I came back, I drank three pots of cold water to moisten my throat. It was difficult to persuade Yang Tinghe."

Biyun was Emperor Zhengde's spy at Chang Feng's side.

Six years have passed, and Chang Feng has accepted Biyun as one of his own. He has been in the court for so many years, and he still has the ability to conquer a woman.

The "news" Biyun is now delivering to Emperor Zhengde is the news that Chang Feng wants Emperor Zhengde to know.

Biyun picked up the hall and said: "Master, I haven't seen you for a few months, just a few times. You still want someone to do things for you." Chang Feng said: "Oh, I am getting old. I am a little envious of Qingyun. Like a spring rabbit in March."

"Biyun, my sweetheart. Do you know what is the most uncomfortable thing when you get old?"

Biyun asked: "What is it?"

Chang Feng said meaningfully: "The most uncomfortable thing is remembering what I was like when I was young."

Biyun stood up, wiped her winding hair with a silk handkerchief, put on her clothes, and went to get a pen and paper to write a note. Then he took a partridge whistle.

She came to the back door of the Hou Mansion and blew a few whistles with her partridge whistle.

A black film appeared in front of her moments later.

Biyun said nothing and handed the note to Heiying.

Let’s talk about the Leopard Room.

There were several women in their thirties sitting next to Emperor Zhengde. Chang Qingyun is also surrounded by flowers.

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said: "Qingyun, I heard that the temper of the Xu family girl is very much like your grandmother. I'm afraid you won't be able to wander around in the Leopard Room again from now on."

Chang Qingyun drank a few more glasses of wine and said, "Your Majesty, you have ordered me to stay in the Leopard Room. How dare the little tigress of the Xu family let me resist the order?"

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said: "Yes, yes. I am the emperor. Whose woman do I want to reward, and whose first wife I am afraid of disapproval?"

Jiang Bin joked while pouring wine for Emperor Zhengde: "I'm afraid that the girl from the Xu family is so good at martial arts that she will turn Young Master Chang into a hollow candle. He came to the Leopard Room with the intention of killing the thief and was unable to recover. .”

As he was talking, a young eunuch quickly walked up to Emperor Zhengde and placed a note in his hands.

Emperor Zhengde looked at Hou Longyan and said with great joy: "Hey! It must be Chang Feng! He is quick in doing things! My grandfather has merit, and I will reward his great grandson tonight! Qingyun, I will allow you to pick ten tonight!"

Chang Qingyun clapped his hands: "Hey! Okay! I want to beat ten of them!"

The next morning, a strange scene appeared in the courtyard in front of Fengtian Gate.

In addition to the civil servants and generals, and the Han generals who were on guard of honor, there were also thousands of frontier soldiers standing in front of Guangting.

These frontier soldiers were all wearing armor, carrying knives and guns. Many of them still had Tatar blood stains on their armor.

Emperor Zhengde was trying to scare the widow with a big eggplant. The civilian officials felt chilled when they saw these border troops looking at each other.

Zhang Yong shouted at the top of his lungs: "Discuss!"

Chang Feng was the first to go out: "Your Majesty, one hundred and six Dukes, Marquises, and Bos in Jing jointly started the memorial. The whole world is not the king's soil, the shores of the land are not the king's ministers, and the soldiers in the world are not the king's soldiers."

"According to the system, the power of commanding troops belongs to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. The power of deploying troops belongs to the Ministry of War. However, times have changed, and now the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has become a decoration in name only."

"The power to mobilize troops rests with the Ministry of War. The power of local military power rests with the governor. From what I can see, the emperor is wise and powerful, and he is a horse-riding emperor like Taizu and Taizong."

"The emperor should take back the power to mobilize and command troops! From now on, the emperor can bypass the Ministry of War and control the military alone."

Xu Guangzuo shouted: "The soldiers in the world must be the king's soldiers!"

A group of soldiers in front of Guangting followed and shouted: "The soldiers of the world are not the king's soldiers!"

The civil servants looked at each other. Seizing military power is equivalent to taking away their lifeblood!
All eyes were focused on Yang Tinghe. They hoped that the civilian leader Yang Tinghe would lead them to fight against Emperor Zhengde.

Never thought that Yang Tinghe would squint his eyes and say nothing.

Suddenly, a soldier from the frontier army drew out his sword and shouted: "If anyone dares to go against the emperor, ask me if I will accept this sword!"

Chief Assistant Liang Chu couldn't stand it anymore. He scolded the hundred households: "How presumptuous! How can a reckless man from the frontier army speak when the royal gate is discussing politics? You are not qualified! You still dare to show off your weapons in front of the imperial gate. Do you want to assassinate the king and kill the driver?"

Emperor Zhengde said: "Liang Qing said that he was not qualified to speak at the imperial gate! What a mistake! In the Battle of Yingzhou, he killed twenty-nine Tatar soldiers by himself. He was the one who killed the most enemies in a great victory!"

"Such a loyal and courageous man is not qualified to speak at the imperial gate. Then the number of people who are qualified to speak at the imperial gate may be as few as the ten thousand-year-old bastards in the Yongding River!"

Hundreds of households in the frontier army don't know anything about morning court etiquette. He patted his breastplate with the waist knife: "I'll say it again. Who dares to go against the emperor, ask me if I can answer with this knife."

Finally, the civil servant leader Yang Tinghe spoke: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

The civil servants breathed a sigh of relief, it must be Yang Cifu who is so courageous! As long as he is willing to open his mouth and take the lead in fighting and making trouble, does the emperor want to take back the military power? Not that easy!

Emperor Zhengde said: "Mr. Yang, you are my teacher. Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, I value your opinion the most. Tell me!"

Yang Tinghe said sternly: "Your Majesty, when Taizu, he alone had the final say in military affairs, how can I allow my ministers to talk too much? Only then did we have the great victory at Poyang Lake, and only then did we achieve the great cause of unifying the south of the Yangtze River and striving to dominate the Central Plains. With me, Ming Dynasty Guozuo!"

"Taizong is as brave as Taizu. He is also arbitrary in military matters."

"I believe that the emperor should follow the example of Taizu and Taizong and restore the ancestral system of the emperor controlling the world's military power!"

As soon as Yang Tinghe said this, the civil servants were all stunned!
In later generations, during the Three Kingdoms' killings, if the rebels betray their loyalties, the lord will surely win.

Yang Tinghe supported Emperor Zhengde, and the situation suddenly turned in favor of Emperor Zhengde.

Cabinet member Yang Yiqing originally wanted to remain neutral, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, sit firmly on the fishing hook, oh no, the Diaoyutai.

When the old fox saw that the situation was one-sided, he immediately recognized the current situation as a hero. He left the class and said: "Your Majesty, I think the suggestions put forward by more than a hundred honorable nobles are very good! I second the suggestion!"

Yang Yiqing was a civil servant who led the army and served as Minister of the Ministry of War. He fell to Emperor Zhengde, and the civil servants had no chance of making a comeback today.

Emperor Zhengde said: "Since the civil servants, military commanders and nobles all want me to take charge of the world's military power, then I can only reluctantly comply with the wishes of the ministers."

"Declaration! From now on, the matters of commanding and deploying troops have nothing to do with the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War only provides military advice to the emperor."

"The official title of the governor excludes 'Admiral of the military affairs of such-and-such province'. The internal provincial garrison army is directly responsible for the yamen of each governor. The governors of each province are directly responsible to the emperor."

"The nine-border border army is no longer under the control of the border governors."

As soon as Emperor Zhengde finished speaking, he heard another howl: "Your Majesty, you are a sage!"

This howl naturally came from Chang Feng's mouth.

All the nobles reacted immediately and shouted: "Your Majesty, you are a saint!"

The civil servants had no choice but to shout: "Your Majesty, you are a saint!"

The voice of the Holy Spirit echoed over the royal gate for a long time.

The battle for military power between the emperor and the civil servants was settled. Emperor Zhengde had a bright smile on his face.
