I, Zhu Qizhen, am not called the Son of Heaven!

"What? Horse bandit?"

Zhu Qizhenli glared angrily at Wei Zhongxian, and almost wanted to laugh: "Are you laughing with Lian?"

Under the sky, how could there be a pair of horse bandits with such great power to attack Yuhuatian, the overseer of the West Factory, and this was still openly against the imperial court!

Zhu Qizhen rushed eight hundred li to the side, so he would not believe such a ridiculous thing.

A group of horse bandits, dare to attack the West Factory?

Dare to attack the rain field?

Dare to openly confront the imperial court?

It is to give the horse bandit Tiantai the courage, and they do not have this ability.

Zhu Qizhen asked Yuhuatian to investigate whether the governor of Liaodong and the governor of Liaodong were greedy, and naturally equipped him with enough soldiers and horses.

The commander-in-chief of Liaodong, that is, the governor of Liaodong, that is, the governor of Jixiao, controlled the four towns of Shuntianfu, Baoding, Liaodong, and Jixian capital, and had great power.

The governor of Liaodong was responsible for the government affairs of Liaodong, mainly responsible for civil affairs and the economy.

In terms of official position, the governor of Jiliao was the second rank of zheng and the superior of the governor of eastern Liaoning.

Horse bandits attack on the West Factory?

Zhu Qizhen did not believe that any horse bandits dared to attack the West Factory, and there were also 3,000 cavalry brought in the Xishan Battalion.

You know, the current Daming cavalry is quite terrifying, and it is no exaggeration to say that they can be one to ten.

These cavalry were all baptized by the Battle of Datong Province!

And the people and horses of the West Factory in Muyuhuatian are all masters, how can there be horse bandits who can attack Yuhuatian, this is simply a fantasy.

"Your Majesty, the secret report said that Yuhuatian, the governor of the Western Factory, was in the Xishan camp, mobilized 3,000 cavalry, and led the troops out of Shanhaiguan into Liaodong. "

"Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the territory of Liaodong, I encountered an ambush, and although the people in the West Factory were all masters, the secret report said that they were facing no less than 10,000 horse bandits in the dark night. "

Wei Zhongxian explained while picking up the secret report.

"Horse bandits of 10,000 people?"

Hearing this, Zhu "600" Qizhen became even more angry: "In Liaodong, there will actually be 10,000 horse bandits, and the Liaodong general soldiers and Liaodong inspectors are all eating dry food?"

What made Zhu Qizhen even more angry was that even if this was a horse bandit, where did this nearly 10,000 horse bandits come from?

With such a large-scale haunt in the territory of Liaodong Prefecture, how could he not receive news?

What are the military headquarters and the Liaodong Governor's Mansion for, and the Liaodong Mansion, which is so close to Lijing City, actually has such a large-scale horse bandit, and he didn't notice it.

Shanhaiguan is less than a hundred miles away from Gaojing City, if this group of people enters the pass, won't it be directly under the city?

"Go, call me Shangshu Yuqian. "

Zhu Qizhen's eyes were full of anger: "Also, inform the cabinet of this matter and invite several cabinet elders to come over." "

"Yes, Your Majesty. "

Wei Zhongxian took the order and hurried to summon people.

Yu Qian is the Shangshu of the Military Department and the Governor of the Nine Gates, presided over the Military Department, and was responsible for the defense of the capital, and when such a problem occurred in Liaodong Prefecture, he was the first to be responsible.

If this group of horse bandits disguised as ordinary people, mixed through Shanhaiguan, and entered the capital, I am afraid that it would cause great riots.

As for the cabinet, Zhu Qizhen wanted to tell them the seriousness of the problem, perhaps behind the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, there were countless careerists spying in secret.

In particular, those forces whose interests have been harmed because of the reform must have a deep hatred for him Zhu Qizhen.

If such a large group of horse bandits could appear near Liaodong, and there was no one behind them to shelter, Zhu Qizhen would never believe it.

What he has to do now is to secretly send someone to find clues, and then follow the vine to find melons and kill all these scumbags.

Soon after, Yu Qian came to the Qianqing Palace.

Yu Qian, who knew what happened, was already sweating with fright at this time, and such a big group of horse bandits appeared in Liaodong.

This is a very serious problem!

If the emperor, in a fit of anger, deposed him as Shangshu of the military department on charges of dereliction of duty, he would have nothing to say.

After all, the matter was already serious enough to endanger Gyeonggi, endanger the emperor, endanger the civil and military officials, and endanger the lives of the people in the capital.

He couldn't afford this charge!

It's enough to make him stink for 10,000 years!

What can be done at this time is to bow his head and admit his mistake, Yu Qian knows that this is his dereliction of duty, and the attitude of admitting mistakes must be sincere.

Otherwise, the emperor may not give him a chance to remedy it.

Then he will be nailed to the annals of shame!

"What? 10,000 horse bandits?"

When he learned the news, the reaction of several cabinet elders was much greater than that of Yu Qian.

After all, in Yu Qian's eyes, 10,000 horse bandits could be completely wiped out by sending 30,000 elite cavalry to Liaodong to encircle and suppress them.

The main thing is to be sincere with the emperor in admitting mistakes.

And in the eyes of the cabinet, the nature of this matter has completely changed!

Liaodong horse bandits, threatening Gyeonggi!

With such a large-scale horse bandit, all the officials in the vicinity must be held accountable, including a group of military generals, all of whom must be unlucky.

This is not the main thing, the main thing is that this incident will definitely implicate a large group of people, and at that time, there will be a major earthquake in the entire officialdom.

As cabinet ministers, what they have to do is to stabilize the situation of the dynasty and then implement the policy promulgated by Zhu Qizhen.

But this time is no joke, 10,000 horse bandits attacked the West Factory, which was enough to make Shangshu of the military department lose his black hat.

If the emperor is really ruthless, up to Shangshu of the military department, to the general army of Liaodong, down to the officials in charge nearby, all have to die!

Endanger the safety of the emperor!

This charge is enough to make the blood of all those involved.

"It is indeed a horse bandit, all the pavilion elders, the secret report sent back by the eight hundred li rush and the West Factory Fanzi all said so. "

Wei Zhongxian answered these cabinet ministers with a calm face.

Although he faced cabinet ministers and powerful figures in the Daming Empire, for Wei Zhongxian, he was no longer the cautious little eunuch he was before, and after being by the emperor's side for so long, he could also see that the emperor did not want the relationship between the inner court and the foreign dynasty to be too good.

Internal and external collusion has always been a taboo for emperors.

After Wei Zhongxian understood this, he would no longer have any good faces for these ministers.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian's cold appearance, the cabinet elders naturally did not want to have too much communication with Wei Zhongxian, and the cabinet and the inner court had always been fighting for power.

It is estimated that in their hearts, they are all scolding the dead eunuch for cutting off his sons and grandchildren.

"Duke Wei, what is Your Majesty's attitude this time?"

Yan Song looked down on these eunuchs, but he, the old man, did not directly give the eunuchs a look like Xu Jie and Gao Gong.

This is not a good thing, this group of dead eunuchs, but the people around the emperor, when the time comes, in front of the emperor to play right and wrong, but it is a troublesome matter.

Seeing Yan Song and Yan Yue treating himself, Wei Zhongxian did not pose for it, and said with a light smile: "If you return to Yan Pavilion Elder, Your Majesty just asked the slave to summon a few Pavilion Elders to clean up the Saint, and the slave maid didn't know anything else." "

"Dead eunuchs, oil and salt do not enter, dripping water does not leak, there is such a city government at such a young age, and the future must be a figure that cannot be underestimated. "

Yan Song smiled on his face and felt MMP in his heart.

He wanted to find out the emperor's attitude first, but this dead eunuch refused to say anything at all, which was really boring.

However, Yan Song, who was deeply thoughtful, didn't say anything more, and turned his face with these eggless dead eunuchs, which was completely asking for trouble.

Yan Song Xujie led the cabinet and six Shangshu into the palace.

In fact, the cabinet also has a dispute between the first assistant and the second assistant, Yan Song and Xu Jie, a Yan party leader and a clear stream party leader, have been secretly fighting.

After all, who wants to be subordinate to others, and who doesn't want to be the head of the cabinet?

"Everyone, let's enter the palace together. "

Outside the noon gate, Xu Jie, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, actively greeted his colleagues and walked into the palace together, which was actually invisibly elevating his status as a cabinet deputy assistant.

At least in a trance, it makes people look as if he Xu Jie is the leader.

"Yes, colleagues, this matter is very important, so let's enter the palace with the main pavilion. (Read violent novels, just go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

Yan Song smiled slightly, how could he not see Xu Jie's careful thinking.

At this time, he repeated Xu Jie's words emphatically, that is, to take back the initiative and tell these court ministers that he Yan Song was the chief assistant of the cabinet.

And Xu Jie is just a secondary assistant, under him!

However, for Yan Song's actions, Xu Jie did not react much, after all, the head of the cabinet led the way, which was a matter of course.

Just now, he was just testing Yan Song.

Since ancient times, the literati have been light on each other.

These civil officials have always been arrogant, and in the bottom of their hearts, no one is convinced by anyone, everyone wants to compete for the first place, and Xu Jie naturally wants to be the first assistant of the cabinet.

Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others, the same.

They didn't want to sit in the position of chief assistant of the cabinet, but everyone knew that Yan Song had been in charge of the cabinet for twenty years, his position was stable, and he was also the minister of Gu Ming and the chief assistant of the cabinet appointed by the emperor, and now he was deeply favored by the emperor, so everyone kept a quiet low profile.

Otherwise, if given the opportunity, what civil servant would not want to sit in the position of head of the cabinet?

A very powerful subject, under one person, above ten thousand people.

Learn the four words of literary and martial arts, goods and imperial family, cabinet chief assistant, which reader does not regard it as his lifelong ideal?

"Elder Xu Ge, you said how His Majesty would deal with those bandits in Liaodong this time, the West Factory was attacked, but this time it suffered heavy losses, even Yuhuatian was seriously injured and almost died. "

When Yan Song walked, he had to be half a position ahead of Xu Jie.

On the surface, this is only half a distance from a position, but it represents status, which is the difference between a leader and a subordinate.

Xu Jie naturally noticed Yan Song's movements.

He secretly increased the pace under his feet, and immediately became level with Yan Song, and replied: "Your Majesty's thoughts, I can't guess, and I dare not guess." "

Having said that, Xu Jie smiled slightly, and continued, "However, I bet that this time His Majesty should transfer troops to completely eliminate the bandits." "

"Hehe, what Elder Xu Ge said is extremely true. "

Yan Song smiled meaningfully, brushed his white beard, and sighed: "For more than a year, troops have been used everywhere, and troops have been mobilized repeatedly, which is not a good thing........"

When the army is used more, the status of military attachés will naturally rise.

This is not good news for their civil officials, from the beginning of Zhu Di to the dynasty of Zhu Zhanji, for decades, the status of civil officials has risen rapidly, and military attachés are the kind that stand aside.

The entire situation of the DPRK is controlled by civilian officials.

However, since Zhu Qizhen became pro-government, he has constantly reused military generals and continued to fight foreign wars, and although the war has brought a lot of wealth and land to Daming, there is also a faint trend.

Military generals break away from the trend of civilian repression!

Using culture to control martial arts, as long as the world is peaceful, this is the unwritten rule of successive dynasties.

However, although the civil officials can still suppress the military generals today, the status of the two is completely incomparable to that of the previous dynasty.

In the past, when those military generals saw these civil officials, who could not be respectful?

And now, one by one, they all dare to fight with the civil officials with their necks rough.

This is not a good sign in Yan Song's eyes.

After hearing Yan Song's words, Xu Jie was also a little silent, as a civil official, he naturally did not want to see the rise of the martial general.

However, there are bandits in Liaodong, and it is impossible to expect civil officials with brushes to eliminate them, and this is the most contradictory and helpless place.

"Wait and see, society is important. "

Xu Jie had a bitter melon face, sighed, said eight words to Yan Song, and stopped speaking.

Hearing Xu Jie's words, Yan Song naturally understood what he meant, and also nodded, don't care about anything else, first destroy this Liaodong bandit.

These horse bandits were so daring that they dared to attack the West Factory.

This is the emperor's eagle dog, the emperor's arm!

Moreover, there are actually 10,000 horse bandits, such a huge number, how the hell did this come about?

The first time he learned the news, Yan Song felt a little incredible, this 10,000 horse bandits are not a small number, although it is not very many for the army of the Ming Dynasty, but the problem is that these horse bandits are haunted near Liaodong, the core of the Ming Dynasty, which is very dangerous.

"Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet of ministers, Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, the cabinet members, Shangshu Yuqian of the military department, and Zhao Hengchen, the shangshu of the Ministry of Ceremonies... See Your Majesty, my emperor for ten thousand years. "

Looking at the Daming heavy minister in front of him, Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Everyone, summoned all of you Ai Qing into the palace this time, what happened, presumably Wei Zhongxian also said it?"

"Dear Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhu Qizhen is very unhappy now, although Yuhuatian of the West Factory is a little arrogant, but he is loyal to him Zhu Qizhen, and this time he was injured in Liaodong...

Hitting the dog depends on the owner!

This is tantamount to angering Zhu Qizhen, there are still people who dare to provoke him as the emperor like this, and they are actually 10,000 horse bandits, and there must be no support and cover from some imperial court forces or local tycoons.

Who can believe it?

The emperor's question immediately made these ministers look at each other, and then everyone focused their eyes on Yan Song.

After all, this is the chief assistant of the cabinet, the head of a hundred officials.

According to the rules of officialdom, when the emperor asks 2.0, it is always the leaders who say first, and then the ministers with a slightly lower status will supplement it, otherwise you will mess up the rules when you say a word.

Of course, when there is a dispute and trouble, it is different.

At this time, it is generally the people with low official positions who say first, and then the bigwigs add their opinions, if they are wrong, they are subordinates who back the pot, and those who have merit are the bigwigs, which are some unspoken rules in the officialdom.

This time, the bandits in Liaodong attacked Yuhuatian, and the matter was a bit big!

10,000 horse bandits, this is not a joke, the attack is still on the West Factory, which is equivalent to provoking the royal and imperial court, if these people are not severely punished, the imperial court and the emperor will lose face.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that an army can be sent, whether it is the Shenji Battalion or the Storm Battalion, anyway, these horse bandits must be eliminated, and they must not be allowed to jump up and down like this. "

Yan Song replied.

Hearing Yan Song's suggestion, Zhu Qizhen was a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Yan Song, this old fox, is obviously talking to the mud, everyone can think of this idea he said, if Zhu Qizhen just wants to do this, do he need to gather the cabinet and the six ministries to discuss?

What is the difference between saying this and not saying it?

However, Zhu Qizhen also knew the concerns of these ministers.

How could he not understand the careful thinking of these people?

It is nothing more than the fear that the emperor will take the opportunity to clean up the remnants of the local family in the name of cleaning up the horse bandits.

These great families are deeply rooted in the Daming Empire.

For more than a year, although Zhu Qizhen used the White Lotus Sect and punished corrupt officials to deal a severe blow to these family tycoons, even the Kong family in Shandong could not escape the magic melon. However, this is not the power of the great family, and it has been completely weakened.
