The leak of Zhang Bing's documents was not due to the person who delivered the documents accidentally leaking the secret, but Zhang Bing himself. He was afraid that others would not know, so he specifically asked the person who delivered the documents to spread the news along the way and tell the counties along the way that Peiping, the main destination for Shanxi immigrants, After eating it, if you don’t want to divide it among the common people, you don’t have to divide it among the people. The place that should be divided among the five hundred households should be given to you fifty households.
In short, if Peiping wants people, don't grab them.
Zhang Bing really overestimated his own energy and underestimated the backbone of Ming officials. These small officials who he thought would die down and make no movement actually caused a storm.
When the matter reached the court, the six ministries could not make up their minds, and the cabinet could not make a decision.
From an overall perspective, allocating more people to Peiping is the best strategy. However, the problem is that the Huihui River has not yet been dug. There are already large troops and residents stationed in Beiping, and then allocating the past 300,000 people is really difficult. It was beyond the limit of what Beiping could bear. In order to support Beiping, the imperial court had to transport more grain northward. This account had to be recalculated and the corresponding expenditures had to be readjusted.
From a local point of view, people have been preparing for a long time in various places, and the food for the court is basically in place. At this time, telling people that immigrants will not come is not equivalent to cooking a table of dishes. The invitations have been sent out, and it is time to pick up the chopsticks. , they said there was something wrong and they wouldn't come. Isn't this just a joke?
The local government will definitely not give up and say no to repay or cause trouble. At the critical moment when the resettlement project and the Huitong River dredging project are in progress, the impact of trouble on the local government will not be good.
The cabinet repeatedly weighed and reached a consensus: rejecting Zhang Bing's plan to reclassify the distribution of the immigrant population.
The cabinet document was delivered to the palace, and a reply was given shortly after, with only one word:
good.
This extremely short approval document made Xie Jin, Yu Xin and others a little depressed. They worked hard to write a thousand-word document. At least I respect the fruits of our cabinet's labor and add a few more words...
"No, something big happened."
Tie Xuan, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Liu Jun, the Minister of War, hurried into the cabinet. Before Tie Xuan could tell what happened, Xu Huizu, the Minister of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, and Song Sheng, the Governor's Minister, also walked in.
Xu Huizu quickly shouted: "Urgent military situation, face the emperor immediately!"
"Military information?"
Jie Jinhuo stood up, while Yu Xin and Huang Zicheng also looked surprised.
Where did the military intelligence come from?
Beiyuan has just held the Naadam Conference. At this time, you should enjoy life among herding sheep and horses.
Besides, summer is the Mongolian horse breeding season. It is rare to send troops to fight at this time. They have plenty of time. If they want to fight, they will choose August instead of this time. Waiting an extra month will be beneficial to them. .
As for Annan, there is Butcher Zhang guarding him there, so there shouldn't be any trouble.
Apart from one north and one south, where else can we have military conditions? Could it be that the Japanese pirates have started attacking again?
Tie Xuan said with a gloomy face: "According to the secretary of the Jinan Dusi, Qi King Zhu Shu openly rebelled, led the Qi King's three guards, boarded a boat into the sea at Gaojiagang, and is heading towards the capital to kill!"
"King Qi?"
Xie Jin, Yu Xin, Huang Zicheng and others were all confused.
An inconspicuous vassal king, an inconspicuous place, a corner ignored by everyone, actually committed such an earth-shattering event!
Rebellion is a major event that endangers the country and the country. The emperor must be informed as soon as possible!
"Why did King Qi rebel?"
Xie Jin asked.
Tie Xuan was stunned.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, looking at Xu Huizu, Xu Huizu waved his hand and said: "How do I know why he rebelled? Does the reason matter? He has already rebelled!"
Xie Jin shook his head and said seriously: "Rebellion without reason, who will follow..."
"Well……"
Xu Huizu couldn't refute it. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
Although the reason is not the most important, it is absolutely indispensable. From ancient times to the present, there are no exceptions.
The so-called "teacher has a reputation". For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State wanted to attack Sui State, and Sui State complained "I am not guilty." Chu State replied: "I am a barbarian, and your King Zhou looks down on us. It is right to beat you... "
Another example is Xiao Wu in the Tang Dynasty. He heard that the rice from the Bohai Kingdom was of high quality and could be used to beautify the skin. Xiao Wu also wanted to eat such good food, but the result was that the Bohai Kingdom didn’t give Xiao Wu face, so he ate whatever he wanted. We don't give it.
So, for a bowl of rice, Xiaowu soldiers sent Ninggu Pagoda to attack the Bohai Kingdom. The reason was also very good, that is, "the Bohai Kingdom has its own troops, has no emperor, and does not pay tribute to the heaven."
You can say it's good, it's all the fault of rice. It doesn't matter what kind of fine varieties your small country is researching, and you advertise everywhere that it has good curative effects, but you don't want to eat them, and if you don't beat them, who will you beat...
The ancients were so "nonsensical", and later people followed suit and created a group of "shameless people".
For example, the Japanese bombed a section of the railway, and then they said it was me who did it, and then the war started. Another example is that the United States randomly found a small bottle, put some washing powder in it, said it was a weapon of mass destruction, and then bombed it with aircraft and artillery...
Regardless of whether the reason is legitimate or not, or shameless, you need to find a reason anyway, and no one will follow if there is no reason.
The King of Qi just jumped up and down without saying a word, without a slogan or a reason, so he sent troops to rebel? Was he kicked in the head by a donkey?
Jie Jin calmed down, and Yu Xin and Huang Zicheng also digested the shocking news.
Yu Xin frowned, looked at Tie Xuan and said, "What did you just say? The King of Qi led his army to board a boat from Gaojiagang and enter the sea to kill the capital?"
Tie Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, it is said that there are more than 200 ships. We should immediately report to the emperor, close all the gates of the capital, and mobilize the capital army to strengthen the defense!"
Jie Jin looked at Yu Xin and then at Huang Zicheng. The three of them smiled in unison.
Tie Xuan and Xu Huizu were a little confused. These three pavilion elders were too abnormal.
"Are you sure that King Qi took the sea route and not the land route?"
Xie Jin seeks proof.
Tie Xuan looked at Xie Jin with some doubts in his eyes. Xie Jin was not very smart on weekdays, so why was he so stupid today.
Take the land route?
The three men in the hands of the King of Qi ran from Qingzhou to Nanjing. They were separated by more than a thousand miles, blocked by the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River, and there were guard posts in various places. With just his small number of people, they would not even be able to leave Shandong by land. If he didn't go, he would be taken care of by Geng Bingwen.
"It must be by sea. This is also the fastest way for him."
Tie Hyun said with certainty.
Jie Jin blinked and sighed: "I kind of sympathize with King Qi..."
Yu Xin and Huang Zicheng nodded one after another, their eyes full of sympathy. It seemed that King Qi was not here to rebel, but to die.
Tie Xuan and Xu Huizu didn't know why. When Jie Jin figured it out, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it, how could they have forgotten this in such a hurry.
"But for such a big matter, you should face the Holy Spirit before proceeding."
Tie Xuan knew that although he was sure of victory now, after all,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It is actually related to the mobilization of the army. If the emperor does not say a word, who would dare to do anything random? If it is investigated later, it will lose his head.
Huang Zicheng advised Tie Xuan: "The emperor has been resting in the harem these days and has not seen any ministers. Although we have repeatedly asked to see him, we have not been granted permission."
Tie Xuan insisted: "How can the events of the past be compared with the events of today? It is related to the rebellion of the vassal king. I also ask all ministers to ask for an audience with the emperor."
Xie Jin and others thought about it for a while. The rebellion of King Qi created an opportunity for the cabinet ministers to enter the palace to meet the emperor. When the opportunity comes, they must seize it.
So the cabinet ministers, the Ministry of War, and officials from the Chinese Army Governor's Office went to Wenhua Gate to see Zhu Yunwen.
The chamberlain Shuangxi had received the news a long time ago. He looked at the security bureau commander Shi Gu Sanshen and asked: "According to the schedule, the emperor should receive the information about King Qi's rebellion today. But after the emperor replies, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a few days, but now that the minister is asking for an audience, the situation is critical, what should we do?"
Gu Sanshen was also anxious. The Security Bureau received the news in advance and delivered it to the capital as quickly as possible. After learning that King Qi might rebel, Gu Sanshen sent seven waves of people to report to Zhu Yunwen urgently.
It's just that where Zhu Yunwen is, this is extremely confidential information. In addition, Zhu Yunwen's schedule is arbitrary and there is no fixed arrangement. Gu Sanjian is in the capital and only knows Zhu Yunwen's route roughly, and then uses the local security bureau to identify Zhu Yunwen. whereabouts and specific location.
This process is very time-consuming. It is not known whether Zhu Yunwen is in Suzhou, Jiaxing or Hangzhou. He can only deliver one message in multiple batches in order to convey the message as quickly as possible.
But as Shuangxi said, no matter how fast the speed was, Zhu Yunwen would not be able to send back the arrangements within one or two days, and the time could not be delayed at all.
"The minister asked for an audience, but of course he couldn't."
Gu Sanshen said uneasily.
Shuangxi nodded, needless to say, the emperor was not in the palace.
Gu Sanshen turned his attention to the wooden box on the desk and said, "Before leaving, the emperor told you that if there is an urgent matter, you can extract the bottom batch of approval slips and send them to the cabinet. Perhaps now is the time. .”
Shuangxi nodded solemnly, walked to the desk, carefully opened the wooden box, then rolled up his sleeves to Gu Sanshen who was staring at him, exposed his arms, and said, "Then we have received the approval slip?"
Gu Sanshen nodded slightly and stared intently.
Shuangxi took out all the approval slips, then pulled out the bottom one alone, looked at the seal on the approval slip, handed it to Gu San for review, and said, "Gu, command history, please verify."
After Gu's third inspection, it was confirmed that the seal on the approval slip was indeed Zhu Yunwen's personal seal. Then he unfolded the approval slip, took a look at it, and was dumbfounded. He asked, "Why, why is there no content in this? It's blank. ?”
"ah?"
Shuangxi was stunned.
Blank approval slip?
What is this? Could it be that I took it by mistake? Impossible, this is the last instruction, and it is also the emperor's instructions to deal with urgent matters.
Why is it blank?
The Wenhua Gate opened, and Shuangxi handed out a note and said to Xie Jin and others: "The Emperor is already aware of the matter of King Qi, and because he cannot bear to suffer the illness, he ordered you to come to the palace to pay his respects another day. As for Qi Regarding the king's affairs, this is the emperor's approval to the cabinet, and you can act accordingly."
Xie Jin took the approval slip, Yu Xin and Huang Zicheng came up, Tie Xuan and Xu Huizu also gathered around, the approval slip was unfolded, everyone's expressions were stagnant, like wood carvings, well, this is not a still picture...
