Starting in Saarhu, it is a bit difficult to make a comeback.

Chapter 58 Breaking into the palace and crying (please read the new chapter)

At this moment, a group of Donglin Party members wearing mourning clothes and mourning clothes were gathering outside Donghua Gate.

They were excited, shouting the slogan "Severely punish the national traitor Yang Hao, and seek justice for the soldiers who died in Liaodong", and they were ready to break into the palace.

The leaders, Zhou Shunchang, Liu Yijing and others, even sat on the ground and cried loudly, blaming Yang Hao for his incompetent command, which resulted in tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty elites being buried in Liaodong!
This scene directly stunned the surrounding melon-eating crowd.

A middle-aged man whispered: "Didn't the imperial court achieve a great victory in Liaodong? The traitor Li Yongfang was escorted to Beijing. We saw it with our own eyes!"

Another hawker also said: "Isn't it? The carloads of Tatar heads were also sent to the capital. I saw it really clearly. I heard that there were also the heads of two enemy chiefs. How could this be so complete? Send tens of thousands of soldiers to bury their bones in Liaodong?"

At this time, a man who looked like a scholar said: "Didn't you hear the shouts of these officials? The Jianlu captives have already arrived at Shenyang City and kidnapped tens of thousands of our Ming people. The tens of thousands of Ming troops commanded by Du Song and Ma Lin were almost The whole army was wiped out. Yang Hao, the traitor, kept it secret and wanted to use some heads to confuse the public, so this 'Liaodong victory' was achieved."

"What? Tens of thousands of soldiers died in battle, and he still has the nerve to report victory?"

"Yang Hao, this traitor is so abominable!"

Soon the emotions of these melon-eating people were aroused, and they shouted together: "Severely punish the national traitor Yang Hao and seek justice for the soldiers who died in Liaodong!"

With the support of the people around them, these Donglin Party members cried even harder as if they had been given blood!

That hoarse cry could probably be heard miles away!
What they knew was that they were asking for orders to kill the national traitor Yang Hao. What they didn't know was that when they saw hundreds of officials wearing sackcloth and mourning mourning at the gate of the palace from a distance, they thought it was the death of Emperor Wanli.

Because of their commotion, the whole capital was in a state of panic. Rumors spread, and there was even more crying near Donghua Gate.

Many people actually thought that Wanli had died, and spontaneously joined the mourning army.

The situation did not improve until the patrolling soldiers from the Wucheng Military and Horse Division came to drive away the rumors.

However, there were too many people outside Donghua Gate, and the soldiers patrolling the city from the Bingma Division were making slow progress.

A soldier said: "Boss, there are too many people gathered here. If we forcefully drive them away, we may trigger a civil uprising!"

These military leaders of the Military and Horse Division are all veterans, and they know that if they are not careful at this time, they will be doomed.

Anyway, there are imperial guards guarding the palace, so nothing can go wrong. At present, they can only slowly drive away the surrounding people, so that they will not be able to enter Donghua Gate for a while.

This huge cry of mourning even shocked the inner court.

At this time, Emperor Wanli was resting in the company of Concubine Zheng.

Due to proper maintenance, Concubine Zheng looks like she is in her 30s.

She had thick black hair and a purple brocade dress, sitting in front of Wanli playing the piano.

The exquisite hairpins and accessories showed her graceful and luxurious temperament, but the little silver thread on her forehead showed some traces of time.

Although the 50-year-old Concubine Zheng is no longer the charming girl she once was, she is still the favorite of Emperor Wanli.

Wanli gave Zheng Guifei almost everything she wanted, but could not make Zheng Guifei's son Zhu Changxun the prince and his beloved concubine the queen.

It is precisely because of this that Wanli completely went on strike and became angry with these courtiers.

Now he just wants to stay with Concubine Zheng!
Suddenly, a burst of noise came from outside, disrupting Concubine Zheng's music. This made her very unhappy, so she said angrily: "What's going on with those slaves outside? Are they so noisy? How dare you disturb His Majesty's rest?"

At this time, the eunuch Chang Yun came in and whispered in front of Wanli: "Reporting to your Majesty, a group of Donglin Party officials dressed in mourning clothes were crying outside the Donghua Gate and asked Mr. Fangge to kill Yang, who had lost the victory. Hao, give an explanation to the fallen soldiers in Liaodong."

"The commotion is very loud now. They even brought a coffin. People around Donghua Gate are following suit."

After hearing Chang Yun's words, Emperor Wanli not only didn't get angry, but showed a hint of evil smile. He liked to see these civil servants biting each other.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he would even want to go to the Donghua Gate to watch this wonderful show.

So he said to Chang Yun: "You have ordered me to go to the inner court and not discuss this matter. Anyone who violates this will be punished with a cane."

"In addition, inform the generals of the imperial army guarding Donghua Gate that as long as those Donglin Party officials do not invade the palace, they must not be driven away."

It was obvious that Emperor Wanli thought the matter was not big enough and wanted to add more firewood.

At this time, Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, finally arrived at Donghua Gate.

Even though he was well-informed, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

The mourning procession of hundreds of people was so huge, and with the cooperation of the surrounding people, it was like a large funeral scene, except that the suona was not blown.

When everyone in Donglin saw it, they realized that the protagonist who had been crying for a long time finally appeared. He became even more energetic and rushed towards Donghua Gate.They didn't stop moving forward until the guarding Imperial Guards drew their sabers.

Although they all showed an aura of looking forward to death, no one really wanted to die.

Seeing that everyone in Donglin stopped coming forward, Fang Congzhe said loudly: "As officials of the imperial court, you actually broke into the palace to mourn today. Do you know what crime you deserve?"

"You guys are shameless. Doesn't the imperial court also have shame?"

After all, Fang Congzhe was the chief minister of the dynasty. His rebuke was so loud that everyone quickly became quiet.

However, there is no shortage of old fritters in the Donglin Party who argue all day long. Liu Yijing soon said: "The court's face is certainly important, but you can't turn defeat into victory just for the sake of face, right?"

"Tens of thousands of soldiers of our Ming Dynasty died in the battle in Liaodong, and countless civilians were taken captive by the rebels. However, Yang Hao, the Liaodong manager, reported victory here. He confuses right and wrong and turns defeat into victory. How can the world be convinced?"

After Liu Yijing finished speaking, everyone in Donglin expressed support: "Please ask Fang Shoufu to severely punish the national traitor Yang Hao and seek justice for the soldiers who died in Liaodong!"

After all, Fang Congzhe had seen big scenes and was not intimidated by the momentum of the Donglin Party members.

He snorted coldly and said: "The casualties in the Liaodong Battle are still being verified. How do you know?"

"Even if it is rumored, it is the duty of the censor. As ministers of the court, you do not perform your duties, but you come here to mourn in the palace. What are your intentions?"

At this time Zhou Shunchang said: "We don't want to be so embarrassed in public. But we have been subjected to countless memorials in the past few days, and Chief Minister Fang ignored us, so we just came up with a plan."

Fang Congzhe said: "You also know that the war in Liaodong is tense, and I have many official affairs to deal with every day. Is it possible that I have to stop what I am doing now and listen to your mourning?"

"The war in Liaodong is related to the secrets of the imperial court. How can we allow you to talk nonsense in public?"

"It is true that Yang Hao reported victory, but the enemy chieftains who were captured and killed, and the heads of carloads of captives, are real."

"As for the defeat of our two armies in the northwest, Yang Hao did not conceal it, nor did he turn defeat into victory."

"The war in Liaodong is still ongoing. According to your wishes, do you think we have to change the commander before the battle?"

Fang Congzhe's series of rhetorical questions directly exposed the fact that the Donglin Party members were making unreasonable troubles.

Many of them felt guilty and secretly retreated.

Liu Yijing noticed something was wrong. Fang Congzhe was really powerful. He turned the situation around with just a few words. If he didn't speak up, all his previous efforts would be wasted this time.

So he said in the spirit of "a tree without its bark will undoubtedly die, and a man without shame is invincible": "It is true that a peaceful king should not talk about the matter of making a marquis, and the bones of his heroes will wither!"

"What's wrong with us speaking out for the tens of thousands of Liaodong soldiers who died in battle? How can we still be guilty of clarifying the truth for the people who have paid millions of taels of Liao pay?"

"Liaodong Economic Strategy Yang Hao was recommended by Fang Shoufu. I also ask Fang Shoufu to deal with it impartially and give an explanation to the world."

"I brought a coffin to plead for the people of the world today, and I didn't expect to go back alive. If Fang Shoufu can't give everyone an explanation, I will hit my head on this coffin and die to clarify my ambition!"

After saying that, he rushed towards the dark coffin.

I have to say that when lies become impassioned, they are still somewhat touching.

The people present were all moved by Liu Yijing's spirit of praying for the people, and many people shed tears.

The Donglin party beside him quickly grabbed Liu Yijing and cooperated with his performance.

Zhou Shunchang and others knelt down and said with tears in their eyes: "Please also ask Fang Shoufu to deal with Yang Hao impartially and give an explanation to the world!"

Liu Yijing's hands are really poisonous. Originally, these people were just melon-eaters, in the mood of watching a show.

As a result, he was involved in Liao's wages. The people paid more taxes to fight in Liaodong. How could Yang Hao fight like this? Isn't this a waste of the money we paid?
So the people around him joined in the support and shouted: "Please also ask Fang Shoufu to deal with Yang Hao impartially and give an explanation to the world!"

Fang Congzhe is also riding a tiger now. Fortunately, Yang Hao himself is not at the scene, otherwise he would have been beaten to death by them!
Just when he was about to compromise, he saw Huang Jiashan, the Minister of War, running out of Donghua Gate and weakly shouting: "Good news, great victory in Liaodong!!!"
