Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth: reckoning after the autumn

All the officials immediately noticed the strange atmosphere.

Because on weekdays, there will certainly be a great general standing guard with a knife.

The Han generals were both Jinyiwei, and they were all wearing flying fish suits.

However, the Jinyiwei like Tiqi can still distinguish it.

People in later generations always equated the flying fish suit with the Jinyiwei. In fact, it is right to say it is right, and it is not right to say it is wrong.

In the Ming Dynasty, the flying fish suit was a dress granted by the emperor and was only given to high-ranking officials. Logically speaking, except for people like commanders or magistrates and rank officials, who are qualified to wear the flying fish suit, others are not qualified to wear it.

But where does people’s impression of Jinyiwei wearing flying fish suits come from?

The fundamental reason is that the Han general who is also affiliated with the Jinyiwei!

The Han generals were guard posts in the palace, and the guards in the palace, especially those around the emperor, were all wearing clothes that were almost similar to those of the flying fish suits.

But now, although there are many great generals in fish suits here, more of them are covered in bloody faces, their eyes are unfathomable, but they are wearing green clothes and embroidered spring swords.

They seemed to stand casually in the corners inside and outside the hall, but it seemed to form a net of heaven and earth. There were people on guard in any direction.

This was completely beyond everyone's expectations and immediately triggered an unusual movement among all officials.

Some people whispered, some started looking around, and some people looked blue, as if they noticed something.

Yang Kan was originally proud of the spring breeze, but now he was a little panicked, and even felt a little uneasy in his heart. So he looked around, as if he was looking forward to discovering something from it.

In this chaos, someone calmly looked and shouted: "Silent, quiet, this is the palace, and you must not lose your ministers!"

The one who spoke was Huang Liji.

Huang Liji did not have too many expressions on his face, so there was no question of joy or anger.

This is his first time watching the fun without much trouble.

Let me take it down, I am going to be a scholar. You just have to make trouble. If I blink today, I will lose.

After hearing this, everyone slightly suppressed the urge to whisper.

Then I had to enter the hall obediently.

At this time, there was no one on the throne of the emperor in the hall.

But on the side of this hall, Wei Zhongxian held the whisk with his hands, his body slightly arched, and stood there calmly on his face.

Like a wooden stake, I smiled a little when I saw someone coming in.

All officials stood there one after another.

But his eyes were all focused on Wei Zhongxian.

Huang Liji was the leader of all officials. At this time, he stepped out and saluted Wei Zhongxian, saying, "Eunuch Wei, will Your Majesty be promoted to the palace today?"

Wei Zhongxian said leisurely: "Your Majesty will come later."

Huang Liji said again: "Does Your Majesty have an oral order?"

"Yes!" Wei Zhongxian said decisively.

Suddenly, the officials seemed to be starting to feel pounding, and many people's faces changed.

Although everyone has speculated that Wei Zhongxian was here to convey the oral order, but it was confirmed from Wei Zhongxian that he was still a little nervous.

So all the officials bowed, looking at a scrupulous and obedient manner.

Wei Zhongxian said loudly: "Your Majesty said: All the people are willing to follow Yang Lian, but Zhang Qing is not Xiong Tingbi!"

As soon as this statement comes out...

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Yang Kan, who was mixed with all officials, suddenly turned pale, his eyes widened slightly, and his body almost couldn't stand. Then he knelt on the ground and knocked heavily subconsciously.

You should know that the words in this oral order have allusions, and you can tell the taste without chewing them.

Everyone here knows that the Yang Lian mentioned by Emperor Tianqi is Yang Lian, the famous counselor at that time. He ultimately triggered the final decisive battle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party for impeaching Wei Zhongxian for twenty-four major crimes.

The final result was that the Donglin Party was completely defeated and Yang Lian was also killed by the eunuch Party.

Of course, what Emperor Tianqi said now was not the struggle between Yang Lian and the eunuch party, but the matter between Yang Lian and Xiong Tingbi.

At that time, Xiong Tingbi was ordered to guard Liaodong. At that time, the situation in Liaodong was already very deteriorating. The Jiannu people conquered cities and occupied the territory, and the Ming army in Liaodong was defeated one after another.

It was not until Xiong Tingbi arrived in Liaodong that he rectified military affairs and rectified defense affairs that he miraculously reduced the offensive of the Jiannu people, and finally reversed the situation in Liaodong that had already deteriorated.

Therefore, Xiong Tingbi made great contributions, but... this has always been the case in the Ming Dynasty, and everyone who made great contributions should not be examined.

Therefore, Xiong Tingbi did not receive the reward immediately. Instead, he was severely criticized by the Qingliu people, and he identified many faults, and even listed his eight serious crimes, and believed that he was deceiving the emperor and was indifferent.

A gentleman like Yang Lian could naturally not be absent. At that time, he was already a very prestigious person in the Qing River. He also accused Xiong Tingbi of defeating the enemy for being incompetent, saying that he was useless in public funds and supported the enemy and respected himself.

Xiong Tingbi was so angry that he vomited blood because these crimes were very deadly. Any one of them was enough to make him confiscate his family and destroy his clan and dismember him.

So Xiong Tingbi immediately set off his stance and scolded Qingliu, led by Yang Lian, and said that he was sick, so it would be better if he didn't work as an official and asked to return to his hometown to retire.

At this moment, the gentlemen immediately caught him and hurt his feet. So the gentlemen wrote another letter to scold Xiong Tingbi for pretending to be sick without illness, which was a serious crime to deceive the emperor.

Xiong Tingbi is quite tough and thought to himself that if I want to get sick, you scold me, so he wrote a letter to scold me again.

This suddenly... fell into a trap again.

Yang Lian suddenly pointed out Xiong Tingbi's key points, saying that Xiong Tingbi, as the commander of Liaodong, did not want to resist the Jiannu people every day, but wrote letters to scold the ministers every few days. It can be seen that his mind was not focused on military affairs in Liaodong at all. This man was actually carrying the Shangfang sword and should take back his Shangfang sword.

Speaking of this, in fact, at the beginning, Xiong Tingbi wrote a letter to resign and called a scholar, but he was just acting coquettish, meaning that if you scold me again, I would stop doing it. In fact, I just don’t want to be scolded again. Is it rare that I really don’t want to do it anymore?

But if he had to hand over the Shangfang sword, Xiong Tingbi would naturally have no way to manage the military affairs of Liaodong, so he... really returned the sword and "retreated" and left.

This battle was one of Yang Lian's famous works, and he directly knocked down a right assistant censor and the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War.

Of course, after Xiong Tingbi left his post later, the situation in Liaodong began to worsen again, and the court had no choice but to activate him again, and in the end, a greater tragedy occurred.

Emperor Tianqi's words compared Zhang Jingyi to Xiong Tingbi, and who is Yang Lian?

At this time, Yang Lian had a very good reputation among the people. Many ministers and scholars believed that Yang Lian was a gentleman and a model for scholars and officials.

But Yang Lian was killed by His Majesty and Wei Zhongxian today. In His Majesty's eyes, Yang Lian is an unforgivable person.

Therefore... Emperor Tianqi's simple oral order actually means that whoever scolds Zhang Jingyi is Yang Lian.

And Yang Lian is my lifelong enemy!

The final result!

At this time... the ministers looked at each other, and Yang Kan was even more at a loss and panic.

How to deal with it now?

Wei Zhongxian still smiled and then said, "In addition to this... there is another oral order."

The hall was still quiet, and everyone was waiting with breath.

Wei Zhongxian slowly opened his mouth: "Zhang Qing has outstanding achievements and is highly praised for his glory. This is not inferior to Emperor Taizu Gao..."

“…”

Many people's chins were about to fall off.

You can say that a person’s credit is not under Xu Da or under Qi Jiguang, which is reasonable.

But……

What does it mean not to be under Emperor Taizu Gao?

Emperor Taizu Gao first established the Ming Dynasty and was the founding king. You, Emperor Tianqi, can be the emperor today because you are his descendant. Now you compare Zhang Jingyi's achievements with your ancestors?

Emperor Taizu Gao was afraid that the coffin board would not be suppressed.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian said again: "This is extraordinary. I have read historical records and have never been seen before. The Ming Dynasty has lasted for 250 years. Today, I have obtained the country and are all rewarded by grace. How can those who have made merits not be rewarded? Now I have been named Zhang Jing, a king of Liao, and have inherited the inheritance of the generation. I have given gold and iron certificates to prosper with the country."

If you just issue such an oral order from the beginning, it will inevitably cause a lot of criticism.

But the previous incident between Xiong Tingbi and Yang Lian has already made all officials panic. Now they have suddenly been crowned as princes, which Yang Kan and others have never expected.

But these two oral instructions made a stone fall into the hearts of many ministers.

After all, the clear stream of censors is only a part of the officials, and there are still a large number of people who do not say anything on weekdays, but they also have their own right and wrong views, but they are just not showing off on weekdays.

Yang Kan was in a mess at this time.

He knew better than anyone else at this moment. He had figured out the emperor's heart by himself, and he had figured out the butt of Emperor Tianqi.

Just in the daze.

Wei Zhongxian visited all the officials and then said word by word: "Oh...and..."

There are two words left, but it makes people wary.

Wei Zhongxian glanced at the eunuch next to him.

The eunuch had no expression on his face, and he looked like a dead person. His sallow face looked particularly creepy.

The man bowed his body and stood up slowly, saying aloud: "If you hear your name, you should go out of work."

After saying that, he continued to say coldly: "Yang Kan!"

The first name is Yang Kan.

When Yang Kan heard his name, his whole body trembled, and then his eyes turned dark and he almost fainted.

He knelt on the ground, trying to stand up, but no matter what, he had no strength.

So... after calling Yang Kan's name, although many people quietly looked at Yang Kan, Yang Kan was completely silent.

Seeing that Yang Kan was not moving at all, the great general standing in the squad had already stepped forward and held Yang Kan down first, then dragged him out of the squad.

Yang Kan panicked for a moment and exclaimed: "What's my fault?"
