Chapter 582 Emperor Chongping: What does Zhao Qing mean by this?
Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall
On the square outside the hall, the warm sunshine of March and spring shines on the jade steps paved with white marble in front of the hall. The civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty lined up and waited. A court meeting.
Therefore, the five government departments and six departments of the cabinet, the temple supervisor, the Imperial Academy, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other Qingliu scientific and Taoist censors gathered here, waiting for Emperor Chongping to summon him to ask questions.
At this moment, the civil and military officials still don't know about the letter delivered by Feige from the Jinyi Mansion through the inner prison.
In the civil train, a group of civil servants were talking in low voices.
Not long ago, the rectification of the imperial censor of Ke Dao started with Gong Yanming, the imperial censor of Yunnan Dao, for corruption, and then set off a large-scale rectification of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Xu Lu, the censor of Zuodu, collected the evidence of corruption from unknown sources, and carried out extensive rectification of the thirteen censors, from the lowest level of admonishment, to dismissal and relegation.
In fact, Emperor Chongping directly delivered some incriminating materials to Xu Lu with the help of the Internal Police Department and the Jinyi Mansion.
Of course, in the final analysis, it was Xu Lu who reminded Emperor Chongping through Gong Yanming that if he was convicted of a crime for his words, he would be suspected of party disputes, but it would be very different to use corruption as a bribe. Neither Lin nor ordinary people have any sympathy for corrupt officials.
At this moment, in the cabinet lineup, the cabinet minister Zhao Mo looked solemn, and said to Han Huang, the second cabinet assistant beside him: "Mr. Han Ge, is there any news from Kaifeng City?"
In the past two days, Jia Heng delivered Shenjing's military newspaper and related memorials on the impeachment of Zheng and Wei feudal vassals, which also attracted the attention of the Han civil and military officials in the Shenjing court to the Jingying army that was fighting chaos in the Central Plains.
In other words, ever since a provincial government like Kaifeng Fucheng was destroyed by bandits, the courtiers never stopped paying attention to Kaifeng Mansion.
Han Huang shook his head and said: "So far there is no news. Didn't the military newspaper say yesterday that Sishuiguan wiped out the main force of thousands of thieves and bandits, as well as the money and food of Luoyang, Wei and Zheng. I think they should have just arrived in Kaifeng at this moment."
Zhao Mo frowned and said, "Although we have recovered the rice and grain owed by the Wei and Zheng feudal clans, there is no need for the central government to appropriate the payment, but in the future to appease the people and clear up the prison lawsuit, do we need the imperial court to send ministers to inspect Henan?"
In fact, this means "picking peaches", that is, sending civil servants to serve as governors in the Central Plains. Of course, people from the Qi Party are in Henan.
Han Huang pondered for a moment, and said: "The situation in Henan is unclear, and there are still thieves occupying Kaifeng Mansion. Even if we send people to patrol Henan, there is no provincial government to station there. Let's wait and see."
Even picking peaches takes time.
Zhao Mo nodded and said: "What Han Ge said is true."
At the beginning, the court pushed, but it turned out that the emperor didn't want to choose Qi and Zhejiang party members at all, but Jia party.
Well, in the current court situation, in the eyes of this old Zhao Ge, Jia Heng seems to form a party of his own, named Jia Party.
Yang Guochang frowned, and said: "The former right deputy capital censor, Henan governor Zhou Dezhen, and chief minister Sun Long died for the country, and the imperial court should reward them."
The governor Zhou Dezhen and the chief envoy Sun Long are all members of the Qi party, and they are in power at the center. If there is no support from the local governors, their positions will not be stable.
And Zhou Dezhen, who was added with the title of right deputy capital censor, and Sun Long, the political envoy, are members of the Qi party. In fact, not only is the Central Plains Yisheng, but the governors of Yandai and other places are also members of the Qi party, let alone Qilu and other places.
How to evaluate the merits and demerits of Zhou Dezhen, Sun Long and others is related to the issue of whether the Qi Party can lead in the future personnel affairs.
Zhao Mo said: "Elder Yang Ge, the specific situation of Zhou Dezhen, Sun Long and others is still to be investigated by the court afterwards."
Yang Guochang looked indifferent, and said, "That's natural."
Han Huang frowned, glanced at Zhao Mo, and said, "Wait for the holy meeting, there should be a discussion."
Zuodu Censor Xu Lu glanced at several cabinet ministers, expressionless.
The struggle between the two parties of Qi and Zhejiang is intensifying, and it is a disaster rather than a blessing for the great Han society. Now that he is sitting in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he must not let the other generation's party struggle harm the country.
Historically, party disputes have mostly started in Ke Dao, because it is generally not easy for the big bosses of the imperial court to go into battle shirtless in person.
At this moment, in the train of the Hanlin Academy, Xu Kai, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and Lu Li, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, are also whispering about the pacification of the Central Plains.
Xu Kai frowned, and said with a worried face: "I don't know if the Beijing camp has captured Kaifeng Mansion?"
Lu Li's handsome and elegant face was cold, and he said: "How can it be so fast? It is said in the military book that if ten times, it will be surrounded, if it is five times, it will be attacked, and if it is doubled, it will be fought... Jia Ziyu's soldiers and horses are all from the Beijing camp. The cavalry, the follow-up infantry are still on the way, and they will not be able to attack the city until the city of Kaifeng is under the city. Moreover, even if all the troops arrive, the city is solid, and the battle will not be over in two or three months. It is a pity that the people of the Central Plains, Natural disasters are still frequent, and now they are also plagued by soldiers."
Xu Kai frowned and said: "If the war continues, I'm afraid that people in the world will be moved."
Lu Li said: "I'm also worried about this festival. The people in the Central Plains have difficulty in making a living, and the bandits are good at demagoguery. If they incite the people to riot, it will be difficult to deal with it at that time."
In fact, several ministers in the cabinet also have concerns, but as the central ministers, it is not appropriate to say such "scaremongering" words. It is impossible for the elite not to worry about it.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Li said this, several Hanlin scholars at the side also joined in the discussion, and one of them said: "If it is really delayed until that day, then he, Jia Ziyu, will have to bear the blame."
Because Ke Dao had just been rectified not long ago, and the Imperial Academy was out of the range, they had published a memorial to impeach Jia Heng some time ago, and now seeing that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been rectified, they have a lot of resentment towards Jia Heng.
Liu Zheng, a scholar in charge of the Imperial Academy not far in front, has a handsome appearance and an elegant demeanor. Hearing the whispers behind him, he glanced back at Xu and Lu, frowned and said, "Waiting for you in front of the palace. Zhu Hanlin whispered to each other, what's the proper way?"
Lu Li paused, just looked at Liu Zheng, sneered in his heart, hypocritical.
Because Liu Zheng's daughter married the King of Chu as his side concubine, Lu Li has always looked down upon this senior in the first class.
At this moment, with the sound of three clean whips, the sharp voice of the inner eunuch sounded, "There is an order from the Holy Spirit, all officials, civil and military, to enter the palace to have an audience."
Afterwards, all the ministers ranked according to their civil and military ranks, and the whispering voices stopped, and the correctional censor who had turned a blind eye to him also began to stare at the civil and military ministers.
Civil and military officials in crimson, blue, and green robes, black gauze hats, and ivory jade wats and locust wood jade wats walked towards the main hall of Hanyuan Hall.
At this moment, Emperor Chongping sat on the golden chair with a serious expression, looking down at the civil and military officials below.
"Wei Chen, pay homage to the Holy Majesty, long live long live long live long live."
All civil and military officials knelt down one after another and paid respects to Emperor Chongping, and the sound of shouting long live rang out in the empty palace.
Emperor Chongping looked at the dark crowd of civil and military officials below, and said: "You are in peace."
The middle-aged emperor's voice was full of energy, calm and firm, which seemed to prove that the vomiting of blood and fainting the day before yesterday meant nothing at all.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the ministers said in unison and stood up.
At this moment, listening to the voice of the emperor sitting high on the throne, there was no abnormality, and the ministers who had strange thoughts were also relieved.
Sure enough, as said in the oral order yesterday, the Dragon Body of the Son of Heaven is already safe.
In addition to the routine court discussion on northern Xinjiang, this court meeting was more of a display of Emperor Chongping's health.
Emperor Chongping looked down at the civil and military officials, and said: "Just now, I received Jia Ziyu's letter from Feige."
All the ministers were taken aback when they heard this.
That Jia Junji is here again Flying pigeons pass on letters?
In the past few days, Jia Heng's two flying pigeons sent letters, which not only brought a lot of good news to Emperor Chongping, but also made the big Han officials in Shenjing city discuss endlessly, secretly amazed.
For the first time, when I was in Luoyang, I just got off my horse and recovered 350 million shi of rice and grain from Zheng and Wei, without the need for food and fodder from the central government.
The second time, at Sishui Pass, three thousand enemies were wiped out.
This third time, what will it be?People come to Kaifeng Fucheng to surround the city?
In the class of the Imperial Academy, Lu Li, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, frowned, secretly said, this Jia Ziyu, in order to please the Holy Majesty, whenever there is some progress, he will report it at every turn.
This time, most of the troops were led to the Kaifeng mansion. With the heart of the emperor, such tricks are almost no different from treachery!
It's just that several cabinet ministers observed the expression on Emperor Chongping's face, and they couldn't see any joy or anger at all.
Shi Jie, Minister of Military Aircraft and Minister of the Ministry of War, frowned, thinking about flying pigeons to send letters.
Emperor Chongping didn't let himself go, and his deliberately calm voice still couldn't hide his excitement, and said: "Ziyu's letter from Feige was delivered this morning. Luo Jinzhong was put to death, while the traitor Gao Yue was captured alive and sent to the capital!"
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar among the Chinese and military officials in the palace, and there were many discussions.
There are surprises and surprises, as well as doubts.
For example, Qin Ye, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry behind Zhao Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, had a look of joy on his face.
But behind Tongzheng envoy Cheng Xin, You Tongzheng and Jia Zheng were so excited that they couldn't contain themselves.
But Yang Guochang's drooping eyelids suddenly opened, and his old eyes were full of surprise.
The city of Kaifeng has been recovered, how...how is this possible?
It's not impossible to recover, but it's too fast, right?
Lu Li, a scholar in the imperial court, had a gloomy expression and couldn't believe it.
A few days ago, the military newspaper also said that the officers and soldiers wiped out Gao Yue's bandits at Sishui Pass. How did they take Kaifeng and capture the bandit leader Kou Xiao alive in just a few days?
This counterattack is actually faster than bandits corrupting the Central Plains?
Han Huang's elegant face was covered with a layer of worry, and he was clearly thinking about it.
However, Zhao Mo, the old cabinet minister who was also in the train, frowned and asked, "My lord, is this Feige's message from Jia Ziyu?"
Thanks to the negative impact of the last false success report, Zhao Shangshu, who was in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, subconsciously doubted the authenticity of the letter passed by Feige.
To put it bluntly, this official document passed by Feige of Jinyi Mansion only reached "high probability", but not "beyond reasonable doubt".
Zhao Mo frowned, and thought to himself, don't you do it just to please the emperor, right?
Emperor Chongping also frowned, his originally suppressed happy face turned gloomy this time, he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Mo, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and asked calmly, "What does Qing Zhao mean by that?"
Could you please explain your words more clearly?
Most of the officials standing in the Hanyuan Hall are human beings, so they all have strange thoughts because they don't know what Zhao Mo's words mean.
Yes, I was in front of Sishui Pass a few days ago, and I arrived in front of Kaifeng Fucheng City a few days later. No matter how fast the soldiers are, there is no such method.
But if Jia Heng dared to deceive the emperor with this matter, it is unlikely.
Qin Ye, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, lost his joy, and turned to look at Zhao Mo. Why did this old Zhao Ge target Ziyu so much?
Lu Li, who was in the train of the Imperial Academy, frowned and his eyes lit up.
He said, it seems that he is not the only one who thinks that there is a problem with Feige's transmission of letters. He still believes the first two military newspapers about Luoyang and Sishuiguan. Fan's memorials, and that is also reasonable.
But how long it took to regain Kaifeng Mansion is too strange.
In fact, it’s because of the false good news before, and now the civil and military officials have some symptoms of PTSD, of course, the symptoms vary from person to person.
Xu Lu frowned, and said calmly: "Old Zhao Ge, the last one who lied about the military situation and false news of success was just exterminated by the three clans!"
With just one sentence, cold water was poured on the heads of all the Chinese and military officials in the palace in an instant, and they all felt sympathetic.
That's right, there is nothing to doubt, and you shouldn't doubt the false news!
After Zhenguo Bull's successor clan attached himself to the bandits and wiped out the three clans, who would dare to lie about the military situation at this pass and fool the Holy Majesty?
Jia Ziyu is already in charge of military secretaries at such a young age, is he a fool?
It's just that the city of Kaifeng has really been recovered?
This is really...
But Xu Lu's words undoubtedly made Zhao Mo's ashamed and gloomy, and it was not right for a while to do something, and it was not right to return to the train.
Here, Emperor Chongping frowned, and glanced at Xu Lu, knowing that Zongxian Xu was advising himself to impose severe punishments without being punished by a judge, of course in a way of defending Jia Ziyu.
My heart is a little complicated, I am glad that the state has a good minister, and the country will not be destroyed, but the minister does not know his own mind.
Fortunately, Han Huang went out of class to smooth things over, and said: "Since the reorganization of the Beijing camp, the decadent style of the past has changed, and the military parade has seen the appearance of a strong army. At that time, we all saw it. Now It's not surprising to have such a quick victory, but the ministers are also quite curious, Jia Ziyu has a general strategy, and he doesn't know how to capture the city, presumably he must have a conspiracy."
This is to help Zhao Mo, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments who is also a member of the Zhejiang Party, to find a new level-it was not questioning, but curiosity.
Good-natured curiosity.
Zhao Mo paused, cupped his hands and said: "This is what I mean too, I think it's time for the Beijing camp to restore its strength to Taizu and Taizong."
"Jia Ziyu's Flying Pigeon Biography has a concise narrative, and a detailed military report will be sent later. Besides, it has already been explained that the city should be taken from within." Emperor Chongping looked indifferent, glanced at Zhao Mo, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and said: " I don't know if it's because you don't believe in Jia Ziyu, or because you don't believe that the imperial court can put down the rebellion quickly?"
When it comes to the end, there is already a bit of sternness.
The chaos in the area is just suppressed calmly, why do they all look like they have to fight for a year or so?
However, the emperor forgot who was in a hurry, vomited blood and fainted, and was restless, as if sitting on pins and needles.
Well, originally emperors are forgetful political animals.
All the ministers below were shocked when they heard the words.
Zhao Mo's expression was ugly, his soul was lost, Qing Zhi just expressed that he had lost his Sacred Heart.
Just, why this?
He just said a few words that need to be cautious, why did the Holy Majesty say such harsh words?
After all, the favorite minister is still in court.
In fact, it was as if the emperor had been enthusiastically sharing a piece of good news, but the result was doubts, and they were groundless doubts.
If it is okay to say one, two, three, and four like Jia Heng, the result is just speculation.
Han Huang was expressionless, looking at Zhao Mo who lowered his head, his face was blue and red, and he was ashamed.
Shaking his head secretly, the Holy Majesty was going to pour cold water on his head, besides, there was no basis for his suspicion just now.
But this is also good, since entering the cabinet, I don't know how to be modest and prudent, and now the Holy Majesty can understand the treacherous situation of the court with a few words.
Shi Jie, the servant of the Ministry of War, pondered for a moment, and came out from the ranks, holding an ivory jade wat, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I thought it was because of the bandit leader Gao Yue's difficulty in uniting the forces of several bandits. The loss of [-] elites resulted in the loss of more than half of the main force. The thieves and bandits in the Kaifeng prefecture belonged to several families. Unpopular, its momentum will not last long."
When all the ministers heard the words, their faces suddenly realized.
How should I put it, this is an analysis by a master, with justification and evidence, and instantly breaks it apart and reveals the way.
In other words, the capture of Kaifeng Fucheng is a matter of course and a matter of course.
Emperor Chongping nodded, looked approvingly, and said: "Shi Qing is worthy of being an important military minister in charge of the Privy Council, and I think that's probably why."
Among the ministers in the Military Aircraft Department, Shi Jie is still a good soldier.
Hearing this, Shi Jie was overjoyed, but his face remained calm, he cupped his hands and said, "I dare not be praised by the sage, my humble minister is also an afterthought, and I realized it later. The county cloth uses fine cavalry to surround the thieves and bandits, which is far-sighted and sophisticated, and the two strategies can be described as urgent and slow, gaining the essence of military art and taking into account the overall situation. If you have taken precautions in advance, and you have considered everything carefully, the temple is more likely to win."
He misjudged the situation before, and he was afraid that in the eyes of the emperor, he had doubts about his ability, and now he needs to make up for it.
Emperor Chongping said: "What Shi Qing said is very true. At the beginning, when Jia Ziyu observed the disaster before it happened, he made arrangements in advance in the Beijing camp. Otherwise, it would take seven or eight days for the imperial court to react. , It is only with the preparations of the past that it is possible to be as powerful as today."
So far, no one doubted the authenticity of Feige's biography.
But in an instant, some civil and military officials couldn't help but fell into some complicated emotions again.
How can Kaifeng be recovered so quickly, and the bandit leader put to death?
From the time the troops were dispatched to the present, this... is unimaginable, unimaginable.
Moreover, it seems that the incident has been calmed down?
No, it seems that there is still Runing Mansion that has not been recovered, and the chaos in Henan will be initially settled after Runing Mansion is recovered.
