"That's Your Majesty!"
When Jiang Guan said this, Zhang Mian thought he was crazy, "His Royal Highness is His Majesty's only son, and His Highness is smart and His Majesty loves him so much. You actually expect His Majesty to step in and stop His Highness?!"
Jiang Guan pondered for a while,
He is not a fairy. The crisis this time is really serious. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. Of course, you must think carefully.
"I am not saying that your Majesty should stop His Highness, but that only Your Majesty can stop His Highness. The obstruction of the ministers will not be taken seriously by the East Palace. Only Your Majesty, and only if His Majesty issues an edict, will the change of Taipu Temple be solved immediately. stop."
Zhang Mian couldn't help but ridicule, "You always think you are smart. Okay, then let me ask you, how can Your Majesty order His Highness to stop?"
Jiang Guan turned his head and showed a somewhat crazy look, "Do you dare to do it with me?"
"You...what do you want to do?"
"Like you, the prince's reforms cannot be carried out!" Jiang Guan knew that he could not sit still and wait for death. "Think about it, even if your majesty loves the prince again, he will not let him do whatever he wants. Ma Zheng is a major national affairs of the imperial court, and it can be changed without authorization. ...It’s okay if the changes are made, but if the changes are not good, can Your Majesty still remain calm? So as long as we make His Majesty feel that the changes are getting more and more chaotic, we will naturally come forward to order the East Palace to stop.”
"What can you do?"
"There is one. I heard that His Highness wants to try to cancel the method of pastoralism, and also said that he would pilot it in one or two counties first. He wants to wait and see, but how is that possible? Why don't we announce this news to the world immediately? The so-called no If you suffer from scarcity, you will suffer from inequality. In this case, no matter which county you choose, the people in other counties will be dissatisfied? When the time comes, if we secretly instigate, it may not be possible to achieve success. "
Zhang Mian felt that this method was too crazy. Once discovered, even the whole family would have to be executed. "It doesn't work, it doesn't work... What's the use of people being dissatisfied?"
"You do not dare?"
"What if I don't dare? Your method is too crazy." Zhang Mian wasn't brave enough, so he simply said it directly. He was thick-skinned anyway.
When he went to find Liang Chu, he actually wanted to bring Liang Chu, his boss, over and let the tall man stand in front. When the time comes, it will be Liang Chu's business to violate the rules.
He just wants to survive.
If he had done this like Jiang Guan, where would he have gotten?
His Highness the Prince's character, if someone secretly attacks him, will definitely come out later, then he will be really miserable.
"Zhang Mian, you came to see me tonight!"
"Then what's going on?" With this excitement, the flesh on Zhang Mian's face was still shaking, "I don't dare, I just don't dare! If you do this, you are treason!"
"If you don't do anything, the Jin Yiwei will break down your door in the middle of the night in a few days. At that time, it will be too late for you to dare!"
"I don't care, I'm leaving."
Zhang Mian didn't dare to listen anymore. He always felt that this guy was a bit smart, and now he dared to plan such a bold thing.
His behavior made Jiang Guan so angry!
I really hate that iron cannot become steel.
"Master Zhang, you just listened to my plan and then left?!"
Zhang Mian's hair stood on end, "Do you still want to kill people and silence them? Jiang Guan! You are just like me, just a young minister from Taipu Temple."….
Jiang Guan clenched his fists. He was different from Zhang Miancai. He came from a slightly older background. There were people in his family who were rich, and there were officials in the clan who were older than him, so he was able to publicize the matter widely and even add fuel to the fire. , some rendering may not be impossible.
It's better than waiting here for the guards to come, right?
But I hate this Zhang Mian...
The key is that he can't just kill Zhang Mian. Now everyone in the court is interested in Taipusi, and His Highness wants to take control of Taipusi. At this time, a court official died.
That's really stupid.
So Zhang Mian left anyway.
He was still a little worried, but Jiang Guan didn't embarrass him at all?
In the middle of the night, Zhang Mian still couldn't sleep.
Think about it
As I went, I suddenly thought of something: Damn it, if Jiang Guan is caught and interrogated in the future, wouldn't the first thing be to confess him?
The relationship between the two of them was not good to begin with, and he was so unfaithful at this time.
If that day comes, how can I defend myself? Really know after all.
If you know something but fail to report it, you cannot escape the crime of covering up.
But what if I apply now?
That's not okay. Doesn't this reveal his intention to oppose the prince? Otherwise, why go to Chiang Kai-shek?
If you think about it this way, both sides are dead ends.
Zhang Mian almost fainted!
…
…
Prince Zhu Houzhao is also busy here.
He summoned a crucial person in Ma Zheng, Yang Shangyi, a fellow commander of Gansu Guards.
Zhu Hou looked at the report of the Battle of Helan Mountain. After Wang Yue came back, he also asked carefully,
Yang Shangyi is indeed brave.
He was originally leading a team to patrol the border, which was equivalent to a whole team of scouts, but he encountered the Tatar army. According to ordinary people, he must be dead.
But this Yang Shangyi was able to ensure that the morale of the army was stable first, and then mounted his horse and sprinted to kill the enemy. Of course, they were also lucky. Wang Yue was experienced and never let the main force he led get too far away from them.
Yang Shangyi's grandfather selected this person among so many children and recommended him to Wang Yue because he was tall and strong. Such people were born in Guangningwei since childhood. They are good at riding horses, archery, and going into battle to kill enemies.
It’s just that I don’t seem to read the book very well...
After the usual worship ceremony, Zhu Houzhao raised his head and looked at this person carefully, "You stand up."
"Yes!" The general's speech was sonorous and powerful.
A visual inspection shows that this Yang Shangyi is 1.8 meters tall and has a light red scar on his forehead. Although his facial features are very handsome, women may be scared when they see him. If they like masculinity, that's another matter.
"Is that scar from the last battle at Helan Mountain?"
"Back to your highness, yes."
"As a general, that is your honor. I like it. What is the reward given to you by the Ministry of War this time?"
Yang Shangyi clasped his fists, "Originally I was going to be promoted, but because I... I still have a young child at home, and I was short of silver, so I exchanged two thousand taels of silver with Wang Shangshu."
"In exchange for money, you don't want to be promoted?"
"It's not that I don't want to. But I think that if the Tatars want to invade the border, there will be a chance next time."…
Liu Jin was stunned when he heard this. He followed the prince in the East Palace and met many ministers.
Most of them were civil servants and Jinshi, but not everyone was a Jinshi, there were also businessmen. However, with so many people here, Yang Shangyi was the only one who played it right.
When it comes to promotion, who doesn't say something about loyalty to the emperor and the country?
"Hahaha!" Zhu Houzhao was also stunned, and then he became a little cheerful, "This is the first time I have heard your answer."
"I have no status! Your Highness, please forgive me!" When Yang Shangyi heard that it was his first time, he knew he had said the wrong thing.
"It's okay. Yang Shangyi, get up."
Zhu Houzhao waved to Liu Jin again.
Liu Jin hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
"Go and get two thousand taels of silver."
Yang Shangyi and Liu Jin were both a little confused and didn't know what the prince was going to do.
"When were you born?"
"I just turned twenty-six years old this year."
While chatting, Liu Jin quickly went back and got two thousand taels of silver in his hand.
But Zhu Houzhao pointed at Yang Shangyi and said, "I don't need any silver, so give it to him. The general of the Ming Dynasty personally lost the stone and killed the enemy on the battlefield. How can it be worth only two thousand taels?"
ah?
Yang Shangyi was already nervous, and at this moment he was even more at a loss, "Your Highness, how dare I receive a reward before I have made great achievements?"
"What you said is right. Rewards and punishments are clear. This silver is a reward for the wound on your forehead, but you can't use this silver. When you go back, return it to Wang Shangshu and tell him that he was promoted in exchange for silver. You regretted the matter and let it go. In this way, the court has not rewarded you for your contribution in the Battle of Helan Mountain."
Liu Jin understood, and he secretly praised that such a way to win over people's hearts can only be thought of by a person as whimsical as the prince.
"Yang Shangyi listens!"
Yang Shangyi's head was confused. When he heard this sentence, it was completely subconscious and he immediately knelt down.
"Yang Shangyi, the commander of the Gansu Guards, was calm and composed, and bravely killed the enemy in the battle of Helan Mountain. He showed the might of our Ming army, which is a meritorious service to the court and the country. Since you have made meritorious service, you must be rewarded. I will give you the post of Datong Town Counselor." General, lead the Datong cavalry all the way, I hope you will continue to fight the enemy bravely and show off the prestige of our country!"
The rank of Commander-in-Chief is roughly equivalent to the third rank, and the rank of Staff General is equivalent to the third rank, and the next higher level is Deputy Chief Soldier. At his age, it is not appropriate to be promoted to an officer as high as Deputy Chief Soldier. Moreover, the generals are not young at all, and can usually lead a group of troops.
Yang Shangyi didn't expect that after all the trouble, His Highness would do something like this!
No rules were broken, and it made people excited.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"
"Get up."
As long as he looks reliable, Zhu Houzhao is willing to give people a chance.
In fact, he is willing to give opportunities to many people. As long as one or two become talented, that will be great.
"Although I have promoted you to an official, I don't have this army for you for a while. It's not that there are no people, it's mainly because there are no horses. But this problem will be solved soon, because I have ordered that the few troops in the imperial court be sent We must gather the best war horses and train an elite cavalry team. Otherwise, the Tatars will hit and run, causing our frontiers to be in danger all the time. This is too costly. You Yang Shangyi and Yongwu are here. The only one I am a little worried about is you. head."
Zhu Houzhao didn’t have so many choices,….
During the Hongzhi period, there were border troubles, and the military ministers and nobles in the court were of no use. Wang Shouren didn't know how many years it would take for him to attain enlightenment. Wang Yue was dying.
So now that there is a brave Yang Shangyi, just pick it up and use it first.
"Anyway, the horses haven't been gathered together for a while. You continue to stay in the military academy and study military science."
Yang Shangyi's face collapsed. Originally, the training time at the military academy was short. After all, he was a soldier, so the assessment was mainly based on military abilities. This study...
"Your Highness..."
Zhu Houzhao ignored him, "This time there is a weirdo in Yiweinke, named Fengxi. He has bad legs and feet, but I don't judge people by their appearance. Maybe it is because of his bad legs and feet that he can't walk. He is very knowledgeable, Yang Shangyi. I sent him here to explain the meaning of the Military Book to you. As for how to apply the Military Book on the battlefield, he is a Jinshi, so I can't help you."
Yang Shangyi had nothing else to say, so he raised his hand and said, "My lord, I obey the order."
"After you go to Datong, you should always pay attention to the movements of the Tatars. I am not the one who defends the city. They will definitely fight them out in the future. By then, if you Yang Shangyi can fight, I will be willing to give it to the governor. If We can't fight. This cavalry has cost the imperial court so much money, so we can't let it go to you."
"I understand that I am a general, and a general should prove himself on the battlefield!"
This seems to be the case.
"Do you have any other requests?"
"I want to ask your highness for someone."
"who?"
"One hundred households in Tengxiang's left guard, Ma Yihuai."
Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised, but felt it was reasonable, "Okay, I promise you."
It was at this time that Mao Yuwen set foot on the land of Shuntian Prefecture.
The prince's order was to grasp the situation first, so as soon as he entered Bazhou, he looked for the horse owner along the road, and he asked the man with a yellow face and skinny muscles who came to herd the horse. This is a simple matter, just bring a few white flour steamed buns. Why do you ask? All.
But although Mao Yuwen had several in his hand, he only gave one to him first.
Then he turned his head and put the steamed bun in his nose
Zi Qian took a sniff, and his movements were full of arrogance and arrogance, "Come on, tell me, how many families did you raise this little pony? And which big family allowed you to let the horse out in this season when there is dry grass? ?」
"Say, do I have some white-flour steamed buns to eat?" The young man in gray cloth with some mud looked straight at Mao Yuwen's hand.
"Yes, it's what you say. The more and more detailed it is, the more white-flour steamed buns you'll get."
"Okay!" After eating one meal, the man was no longer afraid, "It's the Du family!"
Mao Yuwen pointed to his subordinates,
"Record it in Eucalyptus!".
