Chapter 331: The First Person of Ping Slave
Qi Shi Cult's reminder is correct. Although Wei, the admiral's personal army, is very inconsistent with the Donglin Party, no matter which dynasty or generation, a eunuch who holds military power and can lead troops to fight is not a good thing for the country.
The so-called Xian Temple is ten and one or two.
More importantly, this eunuch who held military power was from Concubine Zheng, and Concubine Zheng had been fighting with the Eastern Palace for more than 20 years.
Now, King Fu is not in Beijing, but there is still a ninth prince Zhu Changyi in the palace.
Qi Shijiao, who is familiar with the classics, is very clear that less than 30% of the princes in Chinese history were able to ascend the throne to the throne successfully. Excluding those who were deposed when they were crown princes, nearly 30% of the princes fell to the most unlikely situation.
And this most unlikely situation is often done by the harem and eunuchs!
In the past six months, Concubine Zheng has been relying on the excuse of taking care of the emperor in the Ganqing Palace, which has made it difficult for the prince and important officials of the foreign dynasty to see the emperor, and in fact it has isolated China and abroad.
Therefore, even if he was an enemy of Donglin, after learning that Concubine Zheng was driven out of the Ganqing Palace by Queen Wang, officials from all parties, including the Qi Party, expressed great satisfaction in this regard.
Because, who can guarantee that when the emperor dies, the imperial concubine who has been peeking at the throne will not come up with a tampered will?
In terms of figuratively speaking, the struggle between Qi Shijiao and other party members and the Donglin Party is a struggle between bureaucrats. Even if the two sides fight to the death, they will at most dismiss their official positions and get rid of the court, which is an internal conflict.
However, the struggle with Concubine Zheng was a conflict between us and us. In the face of a common enemy, all parties could work with the Donglin Party to deal with foreign enemies.
Of course, Qi Shi Cult is not targeting the eunuch Wei in his personal army. No matter who it is, he will be vigilant as long as he is Concubine Zheng.
What's more, Wei is holding heavy troops!
Yang Hao's letter of victory was clearly written, saying that the emperor personally had 60,000 troops, and what was the concept of 60,000 troops?
In order to deal with Jiannu, the court tried its best to get less than 70,000 people out of the customs from the towns within the pass.
In other words, Wei's personal army is comparable to the imperial court's army to suppress the rebellion!
For the foundation of the country, Qi Shijiao must stop Wei from leading his army that the court could not control into the pass, otherwise no one could imagine what would happen.
The best way to prevent Wei from leading the victorious army was to keep him outside the pass until the East Palace successfully ascended the throne.
The leader of Qi Dang is really dedicated to the country and has no selfishness.
.........
With the victory of Liaodong, the entire city of Beijing was in sensation.
Although the people in the capital did not have a real feeling about the war that took place in Liaodong, because the place was too far away and many people even didn't know what Jiannu was, the people were still happy from the bottom of their hearts after the official army won a great victory.
In the afternoon, firecrackers sounded in Beijing, all of which were set off by wealthy Liaodong households and merchants who moved to the capital from outside the pass to avoid the war.
Amid the sound of firecrackers "Pulibo" Wei Dazhong and his servants, who were working as pedestrians, walked quickly in the choking white smoke until they arrived at the courtyard of Yang Lian's house.
"Dahong, I just found out from the Ministry of War that Liaodong is indeed a great victory!"
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Wei Dazhong shouted.
In addition to Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, who had been waiting for news, there were also Censor Fang Kezhuang and Wang Wenyan in the yard.
"Mr. Wei, sit down and say slowly,"
Seeing that Wei Dazhong was sweating on his forehead, Wang Wenyan quickly took a stool and asked him to sit down, and then picked up the teapot and poured water for the other party.
This is the advantage of Wang Wenyan. Although he was well-known to the young talents of the Donglin Party by Wang An, he was the lowest among the people and was just a messenger. Therefore, even if everyone did not look at him with snobbery eyes, he treated him like a friend for many years. Wang Wenyan still kept his identity in mind and was willing to do some chores for everyone.
Zuo Guangdou said Wang Wenyan about this, but he laughed at him.
Wei Dazhong was also very thirsty. He took a few sips and said, "The good news was sent by Yang Hao from Chenyang. He said that the Jiannu Eight Banners soldiers were severely injured by our official army and killed and captured tens of thousands. The Pingnu war achieved a major victory. What do you say is comparable to Chenghua Liting..."
What Wei Dazhong said was told by the minor officials of the Ministry of War, and he even spent three taels of silver for this.
"In this way, is Liaodong really a great victory?"
Yang Lian smiled, "As it was the credit of the white-haired veteran Liu Jing!"
Fang Kezhuang nodded happily: "Although Du Song is fierce, he is not wise, and Liu Jing is old, but he is both wise and brave. When Yang Hao used troops from all four groups, I was optimistic about Liu Jing's journey. As expected, Old General Liu did not disappoint the court!"
Zuo Guangdou was not good at military affairs and was not good at military books. However, Shi Kefa, a filial student who was admitted to Kaifeng at the beginning of the year, loved to read military books. Zuo Guangdou was afraid that the student would be distracted by miscellaneous books and miss the imperial examination, so he specially trained him.
But just when everyone thought it was Liu Jing who made great contributions to the imperial court, Wei Dazhong shook his head and said, "It's not Liu Jing. Although he has made contributions, he is not the first person in Yang Hao's good news."
"Oh? Who is the first person?"
Fang Kezhuang was stunned, "It can't be Li Rubai, right?"
Zuo Guangdou and the others also thought it was Li Rubai, because the Du Song tribe and the Malin tribe were defeated one after another, and the remaining two were Liu Jing and Li Rubai.
The former is a veteran with both wisdom and courage, while the latter is a general, and the first person in Pingnu is either Liu or Li, so he will not think about others.
But Wei Dazhong still shook his head and told everyone that Li Rubai had been killed by the emperor for his affair with Jiannu. Yang Hao reported that it was Wei, the inner minister, who made great contributions and must be in front of the army every time he fought, and he should be the first person in this battle.
"Which inner minister, Wei?"
Fang Kezhuang was really a little dazed, and even Li Rubai's murder failed to surprise him.
Yang Lian also showed confusion, while Wang Wenyan frowned, as if he was thinking of something.
Zuo Guangdou had already slapped the table and said, "Kong Shi, don't tell us that the first person was Wei Yan from the Donglin Academy!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Lian's face changed rapidly, and Fang Kezhuang's face also tightened.
"It's this dog thief! At first I thought I had heard it wrong, but Lord Huang from the Ministry of War said it was this thief! Hey, this matter is really strange. The dog thief was obviously supervising maritime affairs in Jiangnan, so why did he go to Pingnu in Liaodong? He was also called the number one Pingnu by Yang Hao?" Wei Dazhong looked puzzled.
Zuo Guangdou and Fang Kezhuang also looked at each other and could not understand.
"wrong!"
Yang Lian said angrily, "How can a eunuch be in front of the army every battle? How can he overshadow Liu Jing and Li Rubai? I think it is probably this guy who has deceived the world with his military achievements!"
When Yang Lian said this, everyone felt it was reasonable. After careful consideration, they thought that Wei Yi was absolutely impossible as Yang Hao said.
Wang Wenyan gave a suggestion, and he said: "Everyone, it is not a trivial matter to prove military merits. How can he be allowed to do whatever Yang Hao says? It must be sent by the Censorate and the Ministry of War to verify the points. The truth or falsehood will be revealed at that time."
"Okay, that's it!"
Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou both thought that this idea was good, so they immediately discussed who would go to Liaodong to find out what was proven.
