Chapter 594 Sun Chengzong returns to Beijing

Everyone in the Wenhua Palace saw the emperor and just left. They didn't even appoint a Minister of the Ministry of War. Some people really became anxious. It seems that the emperor is still holding grudges and losing his temper.But to remember the grudge, you can't do without the Minister of the Ministry of War, right?So tomorrow's prisoner offering ceremony is really yellow?
At this time, many people really became anxious. Anyway, the Prisoner Presentation Ceremony was also a rare prosperity in the Ming Dynasty. If it was really yellow, everyone would have a board on their buttocks, and it would be recorded in the history books. It's a dirty thing, and their generation will be the target of future generations in the future.

Many people began to secretly hate Cao Yubian. This old man only cares about his own refreshing. Now, everyone will suffer. The emperor really lost his temper and did not appoint the minister of the Ministry of War. Although the emperor was ridiculed and swept away, would it be easier for them?Looking at the current situation, I am afraid that the emperor is still holding a grudge.

Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, not only Han Yu became anxious, but even Cao Yubian became anxious. He also had several preparations and his own plan. On the surface, he was the opposition. Everyone jointly recommended Yuan Chonghuan as Minister of the Ministry of War. In fact, the card in his hand is Wang Qia. He is confident that Yuan Chonghuan can't be Minister of the Ministry of War, because he can't save him urgently, and the emperor has a good impression of Wang Qia. Yes, but I didn't expect that the emperor directly denied it, and made a rule that no one knows about soldiers, and no record is not allowed to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. He even ignored tomorrow's prisoner offering ceremony. Cao Yubian really looked at it Where is the emperor going to sing?Is it true that this ceremony of presenting captives, which demonstrates the emperor's martial arts, will be obsolete?Didn't he get the emperor's pulse door?
Everyone in the Wenhua Palace really got anxious.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not, tomorrow's prisoner offering ceremony..."

"Your Majesty, you must not be vindictive!..."

"Your Majesty, you should put state affairs first..."

Seeing that the emperor was unhappy and left looking wronged, these important ministers immediately followed behind and yelled wildly. If they couldn't yell back, there would really be a big problem.

Seeing that the emperor was about to disappear outside the door, many people began to cast their angry eyes on the opposition headed by Cao Yubian. It was these guys who caused this matter. Now, such a great event has now become a funeral , Do you still have the face to see others in the future?Today is obviously because the emperor is young and can't swallow this breath. He is blocked with everyone and wants to "die together" with everyone.

Cao Yubian was also afraid. The emperor didn't take the prisoner offering ceremony seriously. He would rather discard the prisoner offering ceremony than admit defeat with himself. That is to say, this is not the emperor's fate at all. , Although the reputation of the emperor has been lost, more people will sympathize with the emperor and scold them as "treacherous ministers".

The figure of the emperor finally disappeared outside the door.A restless minister was left behind.

Many people turned their angry eyes on Cao Yubian, hating these people for being troublesome, but there was nothing they could do, let alone serious words, they could only stare at Cao Yubian with anger.

Even if Cao Yubian had practiced his face until the city wall was thick, he couldn't bear being stared at, and his heart was in a mess. He thought he was seasoned and good at calculating, but when facing the emperor, he made a mistake when he made a move. The emperor What I think, the emperor does things differently from ordinary people. Now, things are developing towards the situation he least wants to see. Even if the emperor did not present the prisoner ceremony, at most he would suffer some loss of prestige, but the people he offended were I don't know how many there are.

"Everyone, what should we do? Tomorrow's prisoner offering ceremony must not stop!" Someone said anxiously.

"Everyone, Your Majesty is a young man, and he is angry..." Someone also said.

"Everyone, I have to ask Your Majesty right away! Otherwise, if we don't finalize the Minister of War, we will be Daming's sinners tomorrow!" More people felt that they still had to ask the emperor.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'd better go and beg your majesty! The ceremony of offering captives can't be stopped no matter what!" Everyone discussed and begged the emperor, and many people felt that it seemed that the emperor had made him lose his temper , I got angry with everyone.

After discussing for a while, let Shi Fenglai and Bi Ziyan go. After all, these two people are the imperial party and the emperor's confidantes.

After half a sound.

The important ministers were still waiting for the news in the Wenhua Palace, and when they saw the two men coming back, they immediately stepped forward to ask for news.

"How? Shi Shoufu, Lord Bi? Your Majesty agreed?" Everyone asked immediately.

"Alas..." Shi Fenglai didn't know whether to smile or cry, in short, it wasn't ugly, but definitely not pretty, it looked weird.

"Shoufu, you really said it! This is a big deal, how can you make a joke?" Some people couldn't wait.

Bi Ziyan was at the side, silent, and said to himself: You also know that this is a big deal, and you can't wait a few days?Didn't you do this?
"Alas... His Majesty did not agree to appoint a new Minister of War..." Shi Fenglai said something strange.

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone's little hope was extinguished again. It seemed that the emperor was tearing up his face and didn't want this prisoner offering ceremony anymore. He would rather destroy the prisoner offering ceremony than give in to the opposition.

"...It's over, it's over...It looks better now..." someone said.

"... Alas..." Someone sighed.

"...However, Your Majesty also pointed out a way for me..." After everyone felt sorry, Shi Fenglai said something strange again.

"Shoufu, what kind of road is it?" Everyone hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty said that tomorrow there will be a minister from the Ministry of War coming to the capital, and he needs to get his seal stamped. I can ask him to help..." Shi Fenglai said strangely.

"Ah! That one?..."

"what!??……"

Some people are surprised, some are surprised, some are puzzled.

"Shoufu is calling you old Sun Ge?" Someone remembered, didn't Sun Chengzong, who returned to the imperial court as a class teacher, have the title of minister of the Ministry of War?

Everyone is peeping at each other, how is this calculated?People are still waiting for the big seal of the Ministry of War to seal the reward, so why don't you send the reward to him and let him stamp it?What is this?
Absurd, this is the only word in the feeling of this group of court officials.Although this matter is a bit outrageous, and it is not in accordance with the rules, it can be said that it can barely be justified. After all, he is also a minister of the Ministry of War.

"Your Majesty also said that Yuan Chonghuan was originally intended to be Minister of the Ministry of War, but unfortunately, it is too late to rush to the capital. Moreover, the matter of the Eastern Captives has another twists and turns. Your Majesty is worried that there will be changes in Liaodong, and Yuan Chonghuan is still inseparable from that side for the time being. Therefore, let’s talk about the Minister of the Ministry of War in the future.” Bi Ziyan added.

Everyone peeped at each other again, and the absurdity was the unanimous feeling of everyone.

……

Fifth grade.

It's a good day.

The sky is clear and cloudless, the gentle wind is blowing the earth, and the birds are chirping on the branches, which is a scene of joy.

The prisoner offering ceremony has just begun.

The first thing is to offer sacrifices to the temple, and this part has nothing to do with the emperor. After the sacrifices to the temple, the captives are taken outside the Meridian Gate.

During the whole process, there were countless ordinary people who watched it fresh, and there were huge crowds of people, definitely not talking about it.

The main place for offering prisoners is outside the Meridian Gate.It's already ready here.

When the prisoners were captured, all the ministers came before the emperor came to the Meridian Gate. After entering the Meridian Gate, the ministers had to salute the emperor first, and after the salute, the ceremony of presenting the captives began.After the triumphant music was played, "Lubu" was announced again, which is the good news. After the reading, the captives were escorted over. These captives were all wearing red clothes and hats, and there were one or two hundred of them.Then the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments reported: ... the supervisor Sun Chengzong offered the prisoners of the Sanchahe victory and asked for disposal.

At this point, it was Yang Reform's turn to speak. Yang Reform didn't like these captives very much, so he casually said: "Send Zun Chemical Engineering Bureau as slaves." The fate of these people was decided. Zunhua went to dig coal.

Yang Reform ordered this sentence, and the officials on the side repeated it loudly: Your Majesty has a decree to send the prisoners to the Zun Chemical Engineering Bureau as slaves.

Then there is a mountain shouting long live, all kinds of kowtows, and all kinds of cumbersome rules. When you get here, offering prisoners is almost the same.Yang Reform rebuilt the chariot and went back.The prisoner offering ceremony is considered to be a complete end.

The whole process was lively, that is to say, there were many people onlookers, and the road was crowded with people. In fact, the emperor showed his face at the Meridian Gate, and the officials, that is, had an early morning ceremony outside the Meridian Gate. That's all, this offering of prisoners is more for the common people to see.

……

The prisoner offering ceremony is over.

More things just started.

platform.

Yang Reform took the time to talk with Sun Chengzong and exchange views.

"Master Sun, it's good that you're back. This time, it's a big loss for me. It's better to have Master Sun by my side." Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty, is it about the Minister of the Ministry of War?" Sun Chengzong asked immediately, frowning. He must know about the Minister of the Ministry of War. Those people impeached Liu Tingyuan. It is really absurd to send the documents to him and ask him to stamp them.

"Yes, what Master Sun said is right. This time, I suffered a lot. Fortunately, I knew it in advance. I was prepared and I didn't lose in a mess. Otherwise, I don't know what to do? This move really hit My point is that this Liu Tingyuan is too underwhelming..." Yang Reform poured out bitterness upon Sun Chengzong's return.

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed very important. It has hindered several of His Majesty's strategies. Judging from the current situation, although His Majesty has suffered losses, it should not matter." Sun Chengzong frowned even more. He Dajie is certainly a great victory, but Sun Chengzong knew that in the court, there would be a bigger fight without blood, even more cruel than the fight on the battlefield. One mistake, the Ming Dynasty would be doomed, and the fight with Donglu would be lost. The Ming Dynasty still has a chance to come back. After all, the Ming Dynasty is a colossus to the Eastern Captives, but if the battle in court is lost, then all the efforts made by the emperor will basically be in vain, and the Ming Dynasty will inevitably fall into doom.

"Well, that's true. The battle in the court has become more and more fierce. Between those who pay taxes and those who don't pay taxes, one must die!" Yang Reform said with emotion. It's really difficult. Now that someone can discuss it, Yang Reform is a little better.

"...Your Majesty, are you ready? Have you made up your mind?" Sun Chengzong frowned even more. He had participated in quite a lot of secrets of the emperor, and knew many of the emperor's plans. Facing the emperor, he "defied the sky" In addition to admiring his plan, Sun Chengzong could only admire it, and he could only wholeheartedly assist the emperor to complete the "defying the sky".

"Well, I have made up my mind to have a decisive battle with those people and wipe them out in one fell swoop. Now that many plans have been laid out, I believe that I will win." Yang Reform said confidently.Yang Reform tried every means to unite a taxpayer around him, finally established a controllable and reliable interest class, and planned to use this emerging class to replace the existing class in the Ming Dynasty to achieve the goal of reform .Now many layouts and plans have reached the point of apportionment. If it is successful, the Ming Dynasty will soar from then on;Yang Reform feels that no matter how bad it is, can it be worse than the ending in history?Therefore, in the face of this matter, I am not so afraid, but full of fighting passion.

Sun Chengzong was silent for a long time. The emperor's plans and thoughts were too complicated. At his age, it was already a bit difficult to think about it.

"...The minister should do his best to assist His Majesty." Sun Chengzong said.

There was a little silence for a while.

"I'm not worried about the changing jobs of the officers and soldiers, but about the navy..." Seeing that the topic was a bit heavy and huge, Yang Reform changed the topic to a smaller one.

"Your Majesty, are you going to send the navy out?" Sun Chengzong asked.As for the transfer of officers and soldiers, it is said that during the Kaifeng Rewards Conference, there was a sudden exchange of military merits for retirement and transfer. Sun Chengzong knew about this matter, and he also had a part in it. Sun Chengzong felt that this point It is not difficult to achieve it. On the one hand, the military of the Ming Dynasty has achieved an unprecedented victory; on the other hand, the rewards after the victory can be regarded as incomplete retirement and job change.It's just that this incomplete retirement and transfer is limited to officers and has little to do with ordinary soldiers. The goal this time is to benefit the soldier class and create a new system so that the army can completely stand on the side of the emperor. side.

"Yeah! I feel that the energy of those people is a bit weaker. I am going to give them some energy. I am going to let the navy go out to fight Japan, and block maritime trade by the way. Those who don't pay taxes, don't even think Any ship sailing to the sea, hehehe, this year's harvest season is here..." Yang Reform said here, with some "smiles", and this month will be the annual harvest season, Yang Reform wants to Look at the way those guys can't sell anything after harvesting.

"Your Majesty, be careful! In this way, the pressure on Your Majesty will suddenly increase!" Sun Chengzong knew what the emperor's plan was to block the sea with warships, so that those people's ships could not go out to sea, and only the taxpayers would be released. When the boat goes to sea, people who don't pay taxes will naturally be unable to trade, and cannot trade. Then, the things they produce this year, such as raw silk, cloth, etc., cannot be sold. The tax faction's going to sea is obviously to suppress the non-paying tax faction and support the tax paying faction. Although this kind of idea is very good, it has to be said that the pressure is quite high. At that time, those people in Jiangnan will definitely attack together , It depends on how the emperor resolves it.

"Hehehe, it doesn't matter, I just think their strength is a little weaker, and I plan to let them make their power bigger, so that it will be interesting to play. Now that Master Sun has returned to me, I have nothing to be afraid of. I want to take this opportunity to get rid of them all at once." Yang Reform said with a smile, after so many rounds with the scholar-official elites of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Reform had the idea of ​​killing them all, and now, he also has this ability.

"Your Majesty!..." Sun Chengzong didn't know what to say. If the emperor really won this battle this time, it can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty will change. The emperor has changed.The reformed Ming Dynasty will be an unimaginable existence.The Ming Dynasty is no longer short of money, not to mention dealing with one Eastern captive, even if it deals with ten, the Ming Dynasty will not be afraid. As for natural disasters, it is purely a matter of money. As long as you have money, you can go to ten big immigrants at the same time. 1000 million can also be removed for you, the key is the issue of money.

"Hehehe, don't worry, Master Sun, since I have said it, I am sure of it, and if I kick them to the ground once, I will avoid trouble in the future." Yang Reform said.

"..." Sun Chengzong still didn't know what to say, he just went through the emperor's plan over and over again in his mind.

"...I'm a little worried that someone will talk about the navy. When the time comes, Master Sun will support me!" Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Is Your Majesty afraid that someone will disband the navy? This minister is not worried. Now that the Donglu is still alive, the facts have proved that the navy is very useful in dealing with the Dongjiang. It can support Dongjiang and Jinning in a very fast way. If there is no navy, this battle will be difficult to fight, so I guarantee that the navy will not be in danger of being eliminated..." Sun Chengzong said quickly, now Sun Chengzong is very fond of the navy, and that night, he sent Yuan Chonghuan The transfer from Jinning to Sanchahe gave Sun Chengzong too much emotion. Now, he can be regarded as a tough navy faction, and Sun Chengzong would not agree to disband the navy.

"Hehe, that's good. The role of the navy has become more and more obvious. I'm afraid that some people will force me to disband the navy for personal gain, just like the fleet of the Sanbao eunuch back then..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it probably won't..." Sun Chengzong said, but obviously, his brows became even more frowning. The emperor wanted to fight to the death with those people in Jiangnan, and those people still didn't fight against the emperor?This stalemate, the naval division must be the focus of contention between the two sides, and things may change... Sun Chengzong became worried again.

"Hehe, Master Sun, as I remember, it seems that July is also the harvest season." Yang Reform suddenly said again, chatting with Sun Chengzong, Yang Reform was free-spirited and said whatever came to his mind.

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right!" Sun Chengzong immediately affirmed.

"Hehe, this is just the right time. In just these two months, the battle between me and those people will be resolved." Yang Reform also said thoughtfully.

We can see the outcome within two months?Is the tax battle over?Tax-payers overthrow non-tax-payers?Even though Sun Chengzong is known as the emperor's right-hand man and one of the best confidantes, he feels that he is becoming less and less able to see through the emperor. Does he really have such great confidence?
