Chapter 455

The new army's barracks were far away in the Western Mountains, so the new army's westward movement did not attract much attention. This is not the first time that Shaanxi has changed its defense.

On the contrary, a large number of Jinyiwei troops have left Beijing!It attracted a lot of people's attention, but it didn't cause too much trouble. Jin Yiwei has been generous with the funds since the emperor became the emperor. It is said that he has to go out of the city for training from time to time to familiarize himself with the tactics of new weapons. For example, made in Ouchi, grenades, cannons, etc., are also familiar to the Jinyiwei. Although the Jinyiwei does not need to fight with others, it is reasonable to train in this area. Therefore, a large number of Jinyiwei go out of the city. No great suspicion was aroused.

The whole capital city is still immersed in the festivities of the upcoming Chinese New Year, immersed in the debate about running a school. About running a school, it always occupies a major position in the mansion newspaper. You come and go, and talk about how to run a school. The selection of professors, the formulation of teaching subjects, the remuneration of teaching staff, and the remuneration of students, in short, there are endless topics of discussion, not only hotly discussed by people in the capital, but even many people from other places have heard about it , Those who write letters, or come to the capital in person, also want to participate in this rare event in a thousand years. The city of Beijing this winter seems to be much more lively than in previous years.

platform.

Sun Chengzong, Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Zhao Lijiao, and Qin Liangyu, Yang Reform's confidantes, are being summoned on this platform, along with Liu Yanyuan, Minister of the Ministry of War.

"I called a few people here today to bring everyone together and get to know each other well. Whether it's a military general or a courtier, everyone here is my Great Wall against the Eastern Captives. The staff department has made specific decisions based on the last deduction. Arrangement, this time, I will explain the latest arrangement to you, so that you can know what you are doing, so that you can cooperate with each other and echo each other from a distance, and work together to deal with the war that will come next year. This summoning is also a practice. It’s getting closer, and it’s impossible to keep you in the capital. After the discussion, let’s set off. When we get to the front, there are still some days left in the Chinese New Year, so we should step up our precautions...” Yang Reform specially summoned these generals and officials who were defending against the Eastern captives today. Making the final arrangements for next year's war is waiting for news. The news from Shaanxi should arrive today.

The few people who came here are all the emperor's confidantes. They have already prepared for the war next year, knowing that this is the emperor's final confession, and then they rushed to the front line. The beginning of spring may be the beginning of the war. It also seemed to be limited and quiet, but there were also people who were in high spirits, such as Zhao Ratejiao.

Liu Yanyuan also came to the platform today. Hearing the emperor's plan, he admired the emperor's plan in his heart. He thought it was a perfect strategy, and there was no reason not to win.

……

After talking for a while, Wang Chengen hurried in, with a look of horror on his face, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, something serious happened, something serious happened..."

The generals were listening intently, and when they heard Wang Chengen's anxious voice, they all stared, not knowing what had happened to make the chief executive so anxious.

"What's the matter? Companion?" Seeing Wang Chengen's expression, Yang Reform already knew that the matter was over.

"Your Majesty, Shanxi Shanxi merchants plotted against the captives and betrayed the country... This is an urgent report from Cao Huachun!" Wang Chengen quickly handed it over.

Yang Reform flipped through it, heh heh, it was indeed very informative, it was much more complete than his own "evidence", this net was cast down, and all the traitorous Shanxi merchants were caught. It was snowing heavily again, and everyone happened to be resting at home. This time, they were swept clean.

"Damn it!" Yang Reform said with gritted teeth, even though he had expected this before, even though he presided over this matter, but seeing these evidences of treachery and collaborating with the enemy, he was also furious and bloody upwelling.Shanxi merchants never expected that Jinyiwei would come suddenly, and they were not prepared at all. As soon as many people entered the door of Jinyiwei, they immediately recruited everything they knew, and even collected a lot of letters from many secret places , and even more confirmed the crime of Tonglu.

Seeing the emperor gritted his teeth and his face was terribly dark, several people on the platform began to feel uneasy. They didn't know what was the big deal that made the emperor so angry. Only Sun Chengzong still had an unchanging expression. There was also Qin Liangyu, whose eyes were full of strange brilliance, staring at the emperor in a daze, looking at the stack of newspapers in the emperor's hand.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is it that makes Your Majesty so angry?" Seeing that Sun Chengzong didn't ask, Mao Wenlong asked.

Yang Reform kept a dark face and did not speak. The things he fished out this time were more "complete" than he imagined. Judging from the news that has been obtained so far, the scale of this "smuggling" is quite large, and the number of people involved is quite large. wide.

Mao Wenlong took the share from the black-faced Wang Cheng'en, and it seemed that his expression changed after he read the beginning. Today he came to discuss how to deal with Donglu next year. After he finished the discussion, he was going back. He is very confident about next year's war, so he is in a good mood, but after seeing this thing, the fire burst out from the bottom of his feet, rushing upwards.

"Good thief! This traitor, Your Majesty, deserves to be killed, damned! Dare to conspire against captives, destroy our Daming Sheji, Your Majesty, these people deserve to die..." Mao Wenlong's eyes burst into flames, these people He and Donglu were beaten to death, but these people secretly sold him, this is really maddening.

"Your Majesty, is this true?" Liu Yanyuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, was already in a daze. What's the matter?Why did there suddenly appear a case of Jin merchants conspiring against captives?These people are too courageous, why do these people do this?The Ming Dynasty has nothing to say sorry to them?Did they really think that they could be servants of the Eastern Captives?Did they think that Daming would really change?This kind of thinking is too naive, right?The Minister of War no longer knew what to say or how to think about this issue.

"This..." Yuan Chonghuan was stunned after reading the memorial!I was too surprised to speak, looking at the silent emperor with a black face, and then at the angry Mao Wenlong, I was still a little hesitant in my heart, but was immediately ignited by the raging anger, this group of people really Damn, treason, treason, treason, all of these crimes are unforgivable, but none of these Shanxi merchants can hold back. This is related to his victory or defeat in the Jinning war. These people are plotting his life. Yuan Chonghuan's cold sweat gradually came up. If these people were the internal response to Donglu's tip-off, he would be ruined if he was not careful.

After Man Gui and Zhao Ratejiao had seen it, they were so angry that they yelled and immediately arrested and beat them to death, and Man Gui cursed angrily.

After Qin Liangyu saw it, he didn't say anything, he knew in his heart that the emperor had done it, and he felt an indescribable joy in his heart. If it wasn't for this group of people, his brother, relatives, and soldiers, perhaps they wouldn't have died so miserably.

"I want to report to Your Majesty, even if I am smashed to pieces, I still have to protect Your Majesty well. This group of villains, traitors and traitors who want to murder His Majesty, want to take over our Daming Society, and want to take over our Han people's world, this treacherous trick must not be wrong." I will succeed... I swear to serve Your Majesty to the death, and I swear to be incompatible with these traitors, I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to kill these traitors immediately..." Qin Liangyu knew the inside story, and was the first to stand up and support the emperor loudly.

Only then did the others react more, and immediately shouted to defend His Majesty and capture the traitor.

Liu Yanyuan never thought of this kind of thing happening, and his mind can't move anymore. Isn't this Ming Dynasty Shangguo?Someone else was taken captive?You know, if the Eastern captives really came to enter the pass, then the whole world of the Han family would be wiped out!They have all become slaves!What is going on in this world?
"Your Majesty, Cao Huachun mentioned in the report that this matter has already involved the officers and soldiers of the local guards. They are few in number. Just in case, I implore Your Majesty to send the troops from the Beijing camp over there urgently. Otherwise, they may have His life is in danger, he will not be able to leave Shanxi, and this matter may be very involved..." Wang Chengen said anxiously.

"..." Yang Reform had a dark face and did not speak.At this time, it is inappropriate to speak. If you don't speak, you will not make mistakes. Let's wait and see the reaction of the officials.

The others were even more shocked when they heard this!Even Jin Yiwei couldn't hold back, and they all shouted that their lives were in danger. I don't know how serious the matter is?I have to go back to the capital to move reinforcements, this..., has the whole of Shanxi changed?
The platform was terribly silent, the emperor kept a dark face and did not speak. The following generals who were about to leave the capital all looked at the emperor in surprise. Although they were surprised, they felt at ease. At least they had nothing to do with this matter. On the other hand, the emperor's anger, at least now, will not be vented on himself.

"I want to report to Your Majesty, I think this matter is too important. I think that Your Majesty should call the courtiers immediately to discuss this matter. Whether or not to send troops will be discussed later." After a long silence, Sun Chengzong stood up and spoke. .

Yang Reform had a dark face, didn't speak, just nodded.

……

In the capital, the festivities of the approaching New Year's Eve and the heated discussion about running a school were quickly overwhelmed by such news.

"Shanxi Shanxi merchants conspiring against captives and betraying the country?..."

"what!……"

"Shaanxi Jin merchants conspired against captives and betrayed the country..."

"I heard that even Jin Yiwei couldn't hold back anymore, and he was yelling for help, something serious is going to happen..."

"My goodness!……"

The bureaucrats who received the convening order hurried to the platform, discussing this astonishing news while walking.

……

The platform has been very quiet. Gradually, more and more officials were summoned. All the officials who came in were suppressed by the atmosphere in the platform. They saluted the emperor, but the emperor turned a blind eye. The focus of the emperor's eyes seemed to be on the platform. On the horizon, on this platform, there are officials who have already knelt on the ground.

All the officials knelt on the ground, looking around each other in horror, hoping for a letter, what happened?This situation has never happened before. Those who came early have been kneeling for half an hour, and all they see are surprised and uncertain eyes.

The officials could only stare at the emperor helplessly. Although the emperor also looked at them, his mind was not on them. The focus of the emperor's eyes was behind them, but what was behind them?It's the floor, it's the walls.

"..." Yang Reform still didn't speak, just raised his hand.Wang Chengen understood, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree, free from courtesy..."

All the ministers thanked En and got up.

Yang Reform looked at all the officials expressionlessly. After watching for a long time, many ministers were frightened by the emperor.

"..." Yang Reform didn't speak, and waved his hand again, indicating to show the things to the officials.

Wang Chengen quickly picked up the item and handed it to all officials for circulation.

As soon as this item entered the hands of hundreds of officials, the crowd immediately became noisy. The content in this report is really explosive, not only Shanxi Shanxi merchants conspired against the captives, but also a letter from the Jinyiwei asking for help. In the report, Jin Yiwei claimed that his life was at stake, and that if he was not careful, he might die in Shanxi, which surprised the officials who watched!
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask, can this matter be taken seriously? Where did the news come from? I don't know if I can tell the ministers?" An official asked first.

"..." Yang Reform stared straight at the minister who asked the question, but did not speak.Seeing this minister made my heart tremble.

"How can this matter be false? This treason, treason, treason, which one is not a heinous crime? How dare I, Jin Yiwei, frame it? If it is a frame, I am willing to forgive the crime." Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Fang Hongzan immediately stood up, Defend the emperor.

"Lord Fang, although there is a place for you in this court hall, His Majesty did not ask you. It is against court rules for you to yell in such a hurry in the court hall." Fang Hongzan came.

"This matter involves my Jin Yiwei, and it involves countless lives of our Jin Yiwei. I have no choice but to defend myself. Mr. Zhang doubts the truth of this news. He doubts my Jin Yiwei. He doubts someone on our side. Someone on our side is willing to risk his life against Zhang. My lord is making a bet, if this matter is fake, if Fang gets someone's head, just take it, I wonder if Mr. Zhang has the guts?" This time, Fang Hongzan opened up and closed in the court, and he was cautious like before, never talking too much. But it's completely different, this time, but at a critical moment, if you want to gain the emperor's trust and respect, you have to be good at it.

"You..." The minister surnamed Zhang was speechless. He just wanted to find out the source of the news, but he didn't doubt the truth of the news. Naturally, it was impossible to gamble with others. Although Jin Yiwei was domineering, he could not Don't joke about this kind of thing.

When Fang Hongzan said this, many ministers who were puzzled at first became vigilant. They were arguing about whether this matter was true. The emperor must have had conclusive news before making such a move. Thinking about the large number of Jin Yiwei who were dispatched a few days ago, this matter is likely to be indistinguishable. If it is not possible to argue about the authenticity of this matter, some people still want to Ask the source of this matter clearly. Now it seems that there is no way to ask. The emperor didn't say anything, and there were still people disrupting the situation.

"Your Majesty, these traitors should be killed. Your Majesty, these people are really rebellious!" The Chief Assistant Shi Feng came to see the Chief Assistant whose affairs had been settled, and began to speak.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the most important thing now is to immediately send the Beijing Army to reinforce the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei's report has said that the matter involves the local guard's officers and generals. If the news leaks, they Your life will be in danger, I implore Your Majesty to send troops immediately, otherwise, it will be too late..." Liu Yanyuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said immediately.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. This news has not been confirmed. As for whether Jin Yiwei is exaggerating or exaggerating, this has yet to be verified. As for sending troops to Shanxi, I think it is better to be cautious and not to send troops lightly. I think it is the most appropriate It is time to send an imperial envoy to supervise the case. As for Jin Yiwei's claim that his life is in danger, I think this is an exaggeration..." An official immediately stood up and objected.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that we should send troops there immediately. Since this matter involves the guards of the frontier generals and the captives, the situation must be very critical. If one is not careful, Jin Yiwei will not protect him, and he will lose the privilege of the Shanxi merchants and the captives." Evidence, it will be very difficult to do this matter again, some fish that slip through the net will surely retaliate in every possible way in the future, and I am afraid that the whole of Shanxi will be corrupted, so in everything, we still have to be on the safe side..." Mao Wenlong said.

"Your Majesty, I think you should check first..."

"Your Majesty, I think..."

When some officials saw Mao Wenlong speak, they were immediately annoyed. Since when are generals speaking in the hall?One after another stood up to fight with each other, some said to go, some said it was not that serious, and it would not be too late to send someone to confirm the situation.

Seeing the emperor waving his hands, he knew that the emperor was about to speak, so he stopped immediately and waited for the emperor to speak.

"To tell you the truth, I don't want to believe it's true when I receive this news. My heart is full of fire. I am confident that I have not offended the people of the world, but there are some people who are alienated from me and abandon me. Heart, it hurts..." Yang Reform observed the ministers for a while, and found that these ministers did not dare to oppose him easily when they were not clear about the situation in the matter of treason. Very beneficial.Some evidence of existence, evidence that "can" exist, will appear one by one. I have already taken the initiative. Salt merchants, at that time, is the time to really compete.

"..., this matter, when I received the news, I thought it was just a trivial matter. I didn't expect it to be so serious and involved so many things that Jin Yiwei even shouted danger. I think this situation is no longer the case. Knowing how urgent the situation is, I know Cao Huachun's character, he is not the kind of frivolous person, not the kind of person who doesn't care about the seriousness, since I say so, the matter must be urgent to a certain extent, I will believe Cao Huachun for the time being, if Falsification, we will talk about it later, if this matter is true, those plotters must not be allowed to escape..." Yang Reform said with a "calm" face.

"Your Majesty is wise!" All the officials said, they were also unwilling to challenge the emperor on the matter of treason, and they were going to see the situation before discussing it.

"Military Department?"

"The minister is here." Liu Yanyuan said immediately.

"How long will it take to send troops from the capital to assist Shanxi?" Yang Reformed.

"Back to Your Majesty, the closest one is three or four days, such as Zhangjiakou, and the farthest is ten days, such as Jinzhong." Liu Yanyuan thought for a while and replied.

"Oh, immediately send a capable Beijing battalion to assist..." Yang Reformed.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, in fact, there is already a new army in Shanxi. Your Majesty has forgotten that the new army went to Shaanxi to change defenses a few days ago. This time, it probably just arrived in Shanxi. If you send a fast horse to deliver the order, It will be faster..." Liu Yanyuan suddenly remembered something, thought about it, and said again.

When Sun Chengzong saw Liu Yanyuan tell the story, he put back what he had been preparing.
