high official

Chapter 1041
"Thank you, Lord Hou." Huang He's voice was almost pleading.

"Sir, thank you Lord Long En." Wang Xian then slowly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

Seeing Wang Xian knelt down to thank him, Zhu Di also heaved a sigh of relief.He has only one thought now, which is to quickly retreat from the court and end this clumsy performance of self-confinement and self-humiliation.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xian changed the subject and raised his head again: "But I dare not accept the order."

"Why?!" Zhu Di felt his blood surge up, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

"Because I was impeached by a hundred bureaucrats, I dare not accept any rewards until my innocence is proved." Wang Xian said slowly.

Seeing Wang Xian pushing his nose to his face, Zhu Di's forehead was throbbing with veins.The officials were terrified to see it, but there were actually quite a few people who secretly screamed happily. They had succumbed to Zhu Di's despotic power for so many years, and they finally saw someone who dared to slap the emperor in the face. They were really lucky!It's worth watching once in a lifetime!

Everyone's eyes widened, not wanting to miss any moment.

Zhu Di was already on the verge of riding a tiger, and unprecedented humiliation and anger filled his whole body. Even if he pretended to be crazy and drank urine in order to avoid the persecution of Emperor Jianwen, the humiliation could not match half of what it is today!
But the remaining rationality told Zhu Di that he had to be patient at this time!Because the bad news in those five military newspapers was enough to crush his country!

Zhu Di took a deep breath, settled his mind and said to Wang Xian: "It's a mediocrity not to be envied by others. You don't need to take it to heart when you say it's just a catchphrase..."

"It may not be without reason. I ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly and return my innocence." Wang Xian still insisted.

"No need! If I say no need, then there is no need!" Zhu Di slammed the table and burst into a fit, but the targets of the attack were those officials who were ordered to attack Wang Xian: "Recently, from Ke Dao to Liubu, some people, Fan the wind, light the will-o’-the-wisp, and gossip! I’m here to explain it to you! Wang Xian is my arm, the pillar of the country! He was born and died, and fought on the battlefield, so that you can enjoy peace in the capital! To eat If you are full and have nothing to do, you will pick your bones all day long, and you will not hesitate to slander the heroes to get your name!"

The group of officials were scolded so badly by Zhu Di that they screamed in their hearts, 'Your Majesty!Didn't you entrust us? ! 'But at this time, I can only keep silent and let the emperor vent.

Seeing these guys with pale faces, the uninvolved officials couldn't help gloating, but they still had to hold back their laughter, all of them had extremely weird expressions.

"I'm putting my words here today. If anyone dares to attack Le'an Hou with those trumped-up charges again, I will definitely kill him!" Zhu Di stood up and slapped the case with a murderous look. I feel that Wang Xian in front of me has turned into a devil who escaped from hell...

Only then did Wang Xian take the order to thank you, and stop being hypocritical.

"Retire!" Hearing Wang Xian's gratitude, Huang He felt as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly called out in a different tone.

"I will send you off to the emperor respectfully." All the officials hurriedly bowed down and kowtowed.

Zhu Di was standing in front of the dragon chair. He wanted to escape from the humiliating place with a flick of his sleeves, but his head spun and his body swayed to one side.Fortunately, the eunuch next to him rushed to support him, so he didn't fall to the ground.

At this time, all the officials were bent on the ground, but they didn't see this scene...

When the officials raised their heads, Zhu Di had disappeared surrounded by eunuchs.

The ministers and ministers got up from the ground and couldn't help looking at Wang Xian, their hearts were pounding, their eyes were full of fear, and no one dared to speak to him.

Wang Xian didn't look at Baiguan, stood up, patted the dust on his knees, and walked away.

When Wang Xian was far away, all the officials dared to move. As they walked out, they couldn't help but whispered to each other:

"Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"

"Isn't it? The old Huo Guang and Cao Cao were nothing more than that..."

"What's more, this is not the king of Changyi or Emperor Xian of Han!"

"Hey, today's match is really fun, I'm afraid it will bury the root of disaster that affects the whole family!"

"Without this scene, wouldn't the emperor have punished his nine clans?"

"That's right, there is a dead end anyway, why don't you be happy? He really dares..."

"Not necessarily, today's meeting is not what it was ten years ago..."

"What do you mean?"

"I did not say anything……"

Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong walked at the end, watched the officials drift away, and heard the voices of the discussions fade away. The two looked at each other, seeing deep worry in each other's eyes, and then turned back to the cabinet.

After returning to the cabinet to sit down, Er Yang was still a little distracted and remained silent for a long time.Until Jin Youzi opened the door and came in, shouting loudly: "Look at these five military newspapers!"

Hearing that the contents of General Jin Youzi's newspaper had been brought back, Er Yang came to his senses. Yang Rong got up and quickly grabbed five copies of the military newspaper in his hands, and read them with Yang Shiqi.I saw——

The first military report said that thousands of Mongolian cavalry appeared in the Cangzhou area of ​​Beizhili, defeated Yingzhouwei, and cut off the Grand Canal!

The second military report said that Mother Buddha returned to Shandong, led the White Lotus Sect to defeat Zhang Fu's army, besieged Jining City, and was fighting fiercely with Zheng He's army guarding the canal!Zheng He's army is outnumbered, if there is no reinforcements, it will not last long.

The third military report said that the prince and his party were trapped in Jining City, and the situation was in a precarious situation.The prefect of Jining asked the court for quick rescue.

The fourth military newspaper said that the Duoyan Sanwei in Liaodong suddenly entered Shanhaiguan, saying that it was a severe cold outside the pass last winter, and countless cattle and sheep froze to death, and asked the emperor for relief.

The fifth military report said that the team of His Royal Highness Taisun who was patrolling in the Xuan Mansion was attacked by Mongols of unknown origin. They have now hid in Hetao and lost contact. The Zijit Ministry asked for help, hoping that if His Royal Highness was found, he could provide protection.

The five pieces of bad news were like five big mountains, so heavy that the emperor had to bend down!Zhu Di has no doubts at all, if he insists on killing Wang Xian, the Ming Dynasty will immediately be in chaos!This is the blow that Zhu Di can't bear no matter what...

.

After reading the military newspaper, Er Yang suddenly realized, and Yang Shiqi sighed, "No wonder! No wonder!"

Although he didn't say what's wrong, but the other two knew what he said, it's why the emperor wanted to tear Wang Xian into pieces, but he had to let him go, and he had to make false claims to him...

"It's so venomous! It's crazy!" Yang Rong shook his head, it's hard to believe that there are ministers in the Ming Dynasty who dare to do such a thing!

"Yeah, Wang Xian is crazy. He deliberately made the emperor bow his head and make a fool of himself..." Jin Youzi also lost his mind and said, "I didn't expect that there would be a Cao Cao in my Ming Dynasty..." He still couldn't believe it, looked at Eryang and said: " Those Mongolian cavalry who cut off the canal could not have been sent by Wang Xian?"

"Those Mongolian cavalry were hired by the King of Han from Liaodong. Later, when the King of Han was defeated and the sea route was cut off, they could not return to Liaodong, so they wandered around in Shandong." Yang Shiqi said in a deep voice, "It must be that Wang Xian sent someone to subdue them and use the cavalry Taking advantage of the advantage, they avoided the heavily guarded Shandong section of the canal and went around to Cangzhou to launch a surprise attack."

"This move," Jin Youzi had always believed in Yang Shiqi's judgment, murmured, "It's too fatal!"

The Grand Canal is the main artery of the city of Beijing. There are more than one million soldiers and civilians in the city of Beijing. The amount of supplies they need every day is extremely terrifying. The poor northern provinces cannot provide them at all.These academicians are very clear that once the canal is cut off and the supply of materials in the south of the Yangtze River cannot come, there will be a shortage in the capital within three days, a famine within half a month, and a hell on earth where people cannibalize within a month at most... …

"What's the matter with that Yanbu?" Jin Youzi asked again: "Why are they joining in the fun?"

The Duoyan tribe was the Mongolian iron cavalry that Zhu Di borrowed from King Ning at the beginning, and later made great achievements in the battle of Jingnan.After Zhu Di seized the throne, he rewarded Duoyan for his meritorious service, and divided Duoyan into three guards in Liaodong, known as Duoyan Sanwei.It's just that these Mongols have always recognized money but not people, and they don't have much loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, so the King of Han succeeded in borrowing troops.

However, under Zhu Di's prestige, the Duoyan tribe is still very honest. It is really puzzling to suddenly appear outside Shanhaiguan this time.

"It should be Wang Xian who sent someone to contact them." Yang Rong said slowly: "Since the King of Han can spend money from them to hire soldiers, Wang Xian can naturally get them to cooperate..."

"If it's just like this, the emperor won't worry." Yang Shiqi said with a serious expression: "The key is that the thousands of Mongolian cavalry in the pass must be rescued by the Duoyan tribe." If there are many men, whoever is the grass head king.In addition, it has been attacked by the Ming Dynasty for years, and now the population is thin and its vitality has not recovered. If these thousands of Mongolian soldiers are lost, the strength of the Duoyan tribe will be greatly reduced, and it may be wiped out by other tribes.

"Hmm." Jin Youzi nodded and said, "That makes sense, the Duoyan tribe should be there to rescue the Mongolian cavalry, and the Mongolian cavalry should also be to return to the outside of the customs." He said puzzled, "Then why didn't they just say it? You have to find some weird excuse."

"It should be Wang Xian who is playing tricks..." Yang Rong said in a deep voice, "He knows what the Mongols are thinking very well, and he used the excuse to help them get away and drive them to help him build momentum."

"It's almost like this, but no one dares to bet," Yang Shiqi said slowly and solemnly: "The Mongols are forming a pincer attack on the capital. Whether it is true or not, we must prepare for the worst." Shanhaiguan is the capital of Peking University Cangzhou is the south gate of the capital, the north gate was blocked by someone, and the south gate was directly captured.The capital is shaken, and the country is in turmoil. Whoever is the emperor will be in a hurry, and he will do his best to resolve this imminent crisis regardless of anything!

"Then what's the matter with His Royal Highness, the prince and grandson?" Jin Youzi said incredulously: "Don't the two princes understand that the emperor sent them out of the capital at this time, in fact, to protect them. Their actions will only backfire and cause trouble for the upper body !"
