Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 524
"My lord, Mr. Yang Sichen, please see me!"

"You're confused, my lord shut himself in the room and said to be quiet when he came back from the public sacrifice today, and you dare to inform others!"

"It's not that I'm bold, it's Mr. Yang who insists on letting me report, he's in a hurry!"

"What's going on outside!?"

Outside Wang Tong's study, several soldiers gathered there and chatted in a low voice. The voice couldn't help but startled Wang Tong in the room. Hearing Wang Tong's question, the soldiers outside complained to each other and stared at each other. replied:

"Responding to your lord's words, Mr. Yang said that he has something urgent to see!"

"please come in!"

************
The soldiers led Yang Sichen in, and they also wondered why Mr. Yang had such a calm temperament, why his face was so anxious today.

Yang Sichen walked to the door, just about to enter the house, but turned around and said:
"You all stay away, and you must report when outsiders come."

The guards looked at each other, but they didn't move. It was very important to Wang Tong's guard. Yang Sichen's identity could not be controlled. Tong ordered to come out in a loud voice, and asked everyone to protect him from a distance.

Only then did Wang Tong's personal guards go away to guard, but he also wondered in his heart what the important thing was.

***********
As soon as he entered the door, Yang Sichen gave Wang Tong a deep bow. Wang Tong was also a little strange, and asked:
"What's the matter, Mr. Yang?"

"My lord, everything is wrong!"

Hearing this, Wang Tong frowned. He came back from a great victory and gained so many benefits. Why did he say "everything is wrong"? But Yang Sichen is not a person who speaks nonsense. For the reason, he suppressed his temper and asked:
"What's wrong!"

"Students have been working on the establishment of Tianjin's yamen for the past few days, and the public sacrifice has not been allowed to participate, but I just heard that my whole body is cold..."

"They died fighting for the country, and my officials sacrificed their loyal souls and announced a pension. What's wrong with this, and why are you shocked and frightened!"

Wang Tong is already a little dissatisfied. What he dislikes most is that the scribes speak outrageously. They first talk about the big things, and then calmly explain the solution, showing their abilities. Yang Sichen's style today is also very similar to this. The thorn in Wang's call took two steps closer and said:
"My lord, whose soldiers and horses belong to the Tiger's Might Army?"

"Is it Daming's soldiers and horses, the Holy Majesty's soldiers and horses, and this officer's soldiers and horses?"

"My lord, it is the soldiers of the Holy Majesty, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, not the soldiers of my lord. Sitting in a private army, it is a serious crime to destroy the nine clans with evil intentions."

"It's just a saying..."

"My lord, what I'm afraid of is that some people will say that your lord gives a lot of money to the dead and wounded soldiers. What is this? Well, all the generals in the world, even their own soldiers and family members, may not give this number. If it is spread, what will the warriors of the world think? This literati picks on the shortcomings of the adults, and the warriors are resentful. If the two work together, what good will the adults have? !?"

Hearing Yang Sichen's eager words, Wang Tong also became a little annoyed, he patted the coffee table vigorously, stood up and snorted coldly:

"Absurd, this is the same way when I returned from the Xuan Mansion at the beginning of the year, so what's wrong with it, but it's such a shocking thing to say this time, what a joke!"

"grown ups!!"

Yang Sichen raised his voice, took another step closer, and said:
"That's our family of soldiers and horses. No one in the world pays attention to Tianjin Wei, but this time it's a joint battle of the three armies. The whole world is watching. I don't know how many people are staring at my lord's actions. Most of my lords are surrounded by generals, and Eunuch Cai is from my own family." , Is there any quick wit on the student side? I found out today. After thinking about it before and after, I got through this joint, but I didn't have time to dissuade you. This..."

Wang Tong sat there with a cold face, pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice:

"I've been talking for a long time, what the hell is going on!?"

"My lord, Jingshi Qingliu is most concerned about these matters. If there is any occurrence, he will attack and put him to death. What's more, my lord, they don't know how many eyeliners they have in Tianjin Wei. When the news reaches the capital, they will definitely be attacked by Shangshu, Your Majesty." Trust the adults, but how can such things be vague, when the time comes..."

Having said that, Wang Tong raised his hand to stop Yang Sichen's words, stood up again and asked:
"Mr. Yang, I set up a tax card in Tianjin Wei, trained the forbidden army, and opened up sea trade. One by one, that is not a prohibited activity, and that is not a violation of the rules. Why are you promoted step by step? What is it? This is not the trust of the emperor. If your majesty doesn't believe me, don't wait for this public sacrifice. His body has been smashed to pieces a few years ago. If your majesty believes in me, this kind of thing will be as usual. What's the use of rushing! "

Yang Sichen's expression changed, he stood there thinking for a while, but he let out a long sigh, found a seat and sat down, and said slowly:
"Your Excellency is seventeen this year, and he is still unmarried. There is not even a servant in the house. Violation of human relations is also a great crime. If the above crimes are combined, the emperor will not be suspicious."

"What the emperor thinks, whether there is a sin or not, this matter is not up to you and me, but to the emperor, what's the use of worrying, what's the use of worrying, this matter between men and women, you see how busy I am every day, and how much time I have."

On the contrary, Wang Tong calmed down and said calmly.

************
February in the ninth year of Wanli seems to be a little colder than previous years, and the regular imperial gate hearings can only be changed to the palace. The few young eunuchs outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony clasped their hands and stomped their feet lightly, obviously choked by the cold.

Although it was morning, due to the weather, there were not many people running around in the palace, and the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was also closed, so they were more casual and whispered there.

"...I heard that Lord Long Live read the scriptures last night and got very angry..."

"Isn't it? Today I'm going outside to announce the audience of the speaker... Tsk tsk, you didn't see that, as soon as the speaker was announced, his face seemed to glow, and his colleagues were drooling. Out……"

"Hey, if you get the imperial staff, you will be famous in the world from now on!"

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a tradition of slapping the ministers who disobeyed the holy will, which was called the court stick. Come in and fight randomly, this is also a court stick.

During the time of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di, most of the ministers in the court were beaten to death with court sticks, and many people were beaten to death and disabled during the grand ceremony during the Jiajing period.

However, apart from such extreme examples, courtiers and scholars who disobeyed the emperor in various things and were beaten with the court staff after angering the emperor were a great opportunity to become famous.

It can be said that as soon as you bear the imperial staff, you are worth a hundred times. Everyone in the world knows that this is a loyal minister who directly advises him, and he is a Qingliu scholar with a firm and iron frame. In the future, he will definitely be a pillar of the imperial court. Among the people, he would also become a leader of scholars. The scenery is incomparable, and the benefits are naturally many.

But the emperors of the Ming Dynasty also understood this. Since the year of Xuande, they seldom used the court staff, and were too lazy to give these people the opportunity to seek fame.

**********
"Feng Rixian, you are serving as an attendant in the Imperial Academy, so the sage's article must be excellent, but has your brain been eaten by a dog!?"

Emperor Wanli sat on his seat, and he spoke peacefully, but immediately roared after saying a few words. The impression that Emperor Wanli gave to his courtiers at present was still a silent young man with no opinions. It was the first time I saw Emperor Wanli so angry.

Feng Rixian is more than 30 years old, with three long beards and a face like a crown of jade. He looks like a talented man, his face is already a little pale. When he looked up, he looked at the six cabinet chiefs standing on both sides, all of them had faces. Shen Rushui, expressionless, he gritted his teeth, kowtowed a few times, raised his head and said:
"Your Majesty, when I read the books of sages and sages, my mind is full of Dali and righteousness, and they are all devoted to Your Majesty and the great Ming Jiangshan community!"

"Nonsense, what kind of loyalty are you talking about in vain, such a slander of a minister of great merit is loyalty!?"

"Your Majesty, the great victory at Gubeikou was the great achievement of General Qi in Jizhen and General Li in Xuanfu. Wang Tong happened to meet at the meeting and was rescued. How can we talk about great achievements? What's more, by paying for the dead and wounded soldiers, the city's generosity and kindness will change the situation." Officers and soldiers are private soldiers, with evil intentions and ulterior motives. Your Majesty, such traitors, how can you talk about loyal ministers? Your Majesty, for the country and the country, we cannot allow such villains to act recklessly!!"

After all, it was the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, with a passionate tone, clear words, sonorous and forceful, and kowtowed again after speaking, but he did not notice that several people in the cabinet were shaking their heads slightly. The guys are well aware that Feng Rixian's first sentence is untenable.

But in the second sentence, Emperor Wanli grabbed a memorial beside him and threw it at Feng Rixian. Emperor Wanli stood up from the dragon chair, pointed at the person and shouted:
"With ulterior motives and evil intentions, why didn't Wang Tong hide it from the widow, but told the widow in full detail that Tianjin Wei's report was a day faster than the factory guard's report, and he didn't hide it at all. What's wrong!!"

Feng Rixian raised his head abruptly, but was stunned for a moment, obviously not knowing what the matter looked like. This expression fell into the eyes of Emperor Wanli, but made the emperor even more disgusted. He glanced at the calm-looking cabinet ministers around him, and said again :
"In order to make a name, talk nonsense, slander Zhongliang, people like you, the widow will beat you, except for your official position, but to make you famous and fulfill your wish. If there is such a cheap thing, Feng Rixian will punish you for half a year. Throw it out! Throw it out!!"

Following the emperor's order, two young eunuchs walked in, and pushed the pale-faced Feng Rixian out from the left and the right. After the door of the outer palace was closed, Zhang Siwei pondered for a moment, then turned and went out.
