"I, Yang Lian, are not a traitor!"

Yang Lian was so angry that he had no place to vent. Just last night, something suddenly spread in the capital, saying that Wei Zhongxian, who was burning the stove in the East Palace, ran to Nanhaizi, saying that if his nephew was a traitor of the country like Yang Lian, and did that unfaithful thing, he would destroy his relatives for justice, so as to avoid the nephew's fault in the Wei family...

This incident was first reported by the old guy who came out to buy vegetables in the East Palace, and then it became more and more popular, with a nose and eyes. He even said that Wei Zhongxian's nephew asked his uncle to kneel down and cry, saying that if he was for Yang Lian, he would call him thunder and other things.

The most common people in the capital now say is the one named Wei Zhongxian. Not to mention whether his nephew was a rebel or was framed, just say that his nephew was a big shot in the palace, but he was just a stove in the East Palace, and he didn't even have any trace of his nephew. From this we can see how good Wei Zhongxian is.

Wei Zhongxian became a loyal and honest good person, and Yang Lian naturally became synonymous with traitors.

How can Yang Lian not be angry?

There was news from the East Palace that said that the young master praised Wei Zhongxian very much and rewarded him with five taels of silver, which made Yang Lian even more uncomfortable.

Although he knew that his actions expressed his appreciation for Wei Zhongxian's loyalty and courageous act, he was behind his back to show his nephew, but Yang Lian's depression was not relieved.

And even though he knew that Wei Zhongxian was Li Jinzhong who had beaten him in front of the palace gate, he had no way to take revenge.

You know, he will run to confront Wei Zhongxian and pursue the past, and he will probably become darker and darker the more he describes it.

Moreover, the current situation is too sensitive. Yang Dahong is known for his courage, so he dare not stimulate Wei Yan, who is holding heavy troops at will.

He was beaten by Li Jinzhong in front of the palace gate. Wasn't it just because he was preparing to write a letter to impeach Wei Yin's several serious crimes?

Donglin Party member, Censor Fang Kezhuang analyzed: "Someone must have been tricked behind this matter, otherwise everyone in the capital would know that he was good at the Wei family uncle and nephew, and even secretly accused our Donglin Party of being a traitor... I think this world is not far from the black and white confusion."

"There are too many ignorant people, too many people who don't know the truth, and follow the crowd. What do the people know? ... Dahong must not be angry now, if a little unbearable, he will make a big plan."

Zuo Guangdou is still very cautious about this matter, believing that no matter how it spreads outside, the Donglin Party, especially Yang Lian, must not be in chaos.

If Yang Lian jumped out and asked Wei Zhongxian for trouble, it was obvious that he would fall into someone's trap? He would not be able to clean up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Yang Lian was angry and still had reason? He pondered for a moment, saying, "Since Wei Yi asked someone to spread this rumor, it means that Wei Yi didn't have the courage to rebel? In this way, we will fulfill the reputation of his uncle and nephew Zhongxian of the Wei family... As long as the country is stable, what is the gain or loss of my personal reputation? I really have to shed blood for the country's foundation? I want to sacrifice? I Yang Lian is also the first one!"

"Dahongguo is a good man!"

Fang Kezhuang praised, then was a little curious, "I wonder what Lord Han had to talk to Wei Yin when he left the city?"

"What can we talk about? Fang Congzhe is the Zhejiang Party, can he really be on the same side as our Donglin? Do I want me to see it? Fang Congzhe must have agreed to Wei Yin's request, so that he can also benefit from it.

But this is good. As long as you can drag this round, your highness will ascend the throne and all the people in the world will be united. Wei Yi will really be able to make a comeback."

Zuo Guangdou's guess is inseparable? Fang Congzhe really thought so.

"Fang Congzhe compromised again. He is consistent with our Donglin in the matter of national foundation? There is no need to worry about this."

Fang Kezhuang learned from Miao Changqi a few days ago that the former chief minister, Ye Xianggao, the husband of Fuqing, came to his letter, and the letter said that Donglin must fully support Fang Congzhe? Because Fang Congzhe's attitude on the matter of the foundation of the country will never change.

Ye Xianggao has seen countless people, and he can see this more accurately than anyone else.

"Actually, everything else is easy to say? Is Concubine Zheng going to become the central palace? Our efforts over the years have really gone through the flow of water." Yang Lian sighed.

"Who could have thought that Wei Yi calmly created a strong army without hiding the court?" Zuo Guangdou shook his head, "My husband Fuqing was careless about this matter back then."

This refers to when Wei Liangchen burned down Donglin Academy and forced his students to capture teachers and students, Ye Xiang Gaoyuan wanted to beat Wei Liangchen to death with a stick, but the emperor was unwilling to do so. So the chief minister took several other things into exchange for the emperor's consent for the overall situation of the government, and raised the burning of Donglin Academy with a high reputation, letting it go, and leaving it alone. However, he never thought that the unrepent back then caused great trouble today.

"Current affairs have changed, who could have thought of today back then?"

Fang Kezhuang talked about several memorials recently received by Tongzhengsi.

The few people who submitted the memorial were doctors and chief officials of various departments, with low positions and low positions, but the content of their letters was surprisingly consistent, and they all proposed that the entry of the personal army into the pass this time was completely in line with the law, and the court's response seemed a bit too nervous.

"I checked it and the people who wrote the letter included Mao Shilong, Yang Sichang from the Ministry of Revenue, and Hong Chengchou from the Ministry of Justice...."

Fang Kezhuang said: "Mao Shilong was one of the students who were captured by Wei Yin. This person is shameless and has long been removed from our party. Hong Chengchou is from Fujian. He ranked 14th in the second place in the Bingchen Palace Examination three years ago and has not joined any party. Then Yang Sichang and you all have heard of his father Yang He..."

"I can understand Mao Shilong's eyes for Wei Yin, but it's a feather. Why did Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang and others also look for Wei Yin, but I can't guess it." Zuo Guangdou also knew nothing about this.

"No matter they are, they are helping villains. Remember their names. In the future, I, Donglin, are all in the court. None of these villains should be left in the court!"

Yang Lian was determined. The one he hated the most in his life was these treacherous villains.

............

Han Yu was the city he returned with Xing'an Bo Xu Zhian when the sun was about to set. Later, the two of them went straight to the cabinet without even returning home.

In the cabinet, the chief assistant Fang Congzhe, the Minister of War Huang Jiashan, the British Duke Zhang Weixian, the eunuch in charge of the Eastern Palace, and others have been waiting for the news.

Sure enough, as Han Yu expected, when he asked Wei Yan to ask that his personal army must enter the city, the chief assistant Fang Congzhe immediately refused.

Secretary Huang of the Ministry of War also denounced this move as if he was to lead a wolf into the house. British Duke Zhang Weixian slapped the table and shouted: "If the personal army wants to enter the city, unless it is passed by me!"

"Yu Chen, you have done a good job. You must not agree to this request. Whoever promises will be a sinner forever!"

Fang Congzhe affirmed Han Yu's actions and then asked Wang An to send someone to report the matter to the East Palace. The reply from the East Palace was not surprising, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would never allow his own troops to enter the city.

British Duke Zhang Weixian immediately said: "Since that's the case, the court should not send people to talk to Wei Yin anymore. Humph, this Wei Yin is also cunning. He only sent his subordinates to lead his troops to threaten the court, but he hid outside the pass. He wanted to eat mutton and not make things messy, but it was a good plan!"

"The worst is necessary,"

Fang Congzhe looked at Huang Jiashan, "This is the Ministry of War?"

"It's great that the Master of the Court of War has dispatched troops from all over the place."

Huang Jiashan explained a few measures to deal with the Ministry of War. First, transfer Shaanxi, Xuanfu and border troops to reinforce the capital; second, transfer Henan and Shandong troops to Beijing; third, order Jizhen troops to restrain their personal troops.

"The number of personal troops entering the pass is up to 40,000 to 50,000 people, and they must control Shanhaiguan to the front line of the capital, and up to 20,000 people can reach the capital. The relatives of the Imperial Horse Prison may not be willing to help Wei Yi attack the capital, so as long as the Beijing camp can be defended for three or five days and to sluggish its spirit, reinforcements from all over the place will gather. At that time, Wei Yi will probably lose his position and go on the way. In turn, he has to beg the court, not the court.

Although Huang Jiashan is seventy years old, he has been on the border for a long time and is very experienced in using troops.

Fang Congzhe nodded and thought of No. 1 Middle School, saying, "I heard that the canal in Tianjin was cut off?"

"It's because of this. When Wei Yi founded his personal army, he divided the navy and the army. The navy was merged from the original Wusong Water Camp and the Zhejiang and Fujian Water Camps. Navy generals Shi Dezheng, Shen Yourong and others were all generals of the former Fujian Navy..."

The Ministry of War still has some skills, at least it is clearer about the composition of generals and military horses under Wei Yin.

"Shi and Shen led a joint fleet to control the waters from Tianjin to Liaodong, and sent troops to land on Tianjin Guards, surrounded the Jinyiwei Yamen of Governor Luo, and controlled the canal. However, these two people did not take any other actions since then. In my opinion, it may be that the two of them had to do this under the pressure of Wei Yi. But they definitely did not dare to follow Wei Yi to do the matter of usurping the throne..."

Huang Jiashan further confirmed that even if the joint fleet controlled Tianjin, Shandong soldiers could not go north from the canal, but instead detour from Henan. In this way, the ownership of Tianjin was insignificant.

"What people worry most now is Miyun."

Miyun is the residence of the Ji Liao Governor's Governor's Office, but the flood roads between the capital and Miyun were cut off as Wei eunuchs advanced into Nanhaizi, so it is difficult for the capital to know about the deployment of Miyun and Ji Liao Governor Wang Keshou.

"Wang Keshou would not surrender to Wei Yan." British Duke Zhang Weixian said.

Fang Congzhe nodded. Wang Keshou was already the governor of Ji Liao. Can he still obtain a higher position than this position if he defected to Wei Yan?

Therefore, as long as Wang Keshou is still in Miyun, no matter whether the tens of thousands of soldiers in Ji Town dare to fight with Wei Yan's personal army, as long as they are always around Wei Yan's soldiers and horses, Wei Yan dare not really attack the capital with all his strength. This is enough for the defense of the capital.

"I'll ask you two to defend the capital!"

Fang Congzhe was self-aware. He was good at central government affairs, but he was not good at military affairs. Therefore, it was up to Huang Jiashan and the Duke of England to the next step.

"I hope Wei Yi can retreat when he sees the difficulties. As long as his personal army does not enter the city, the court can still give him some face." Huang Jiashan slapped his long beard, and the old Shangshu still didn't want to see the army that had just pacified Jiannu turned into a rebel of the Ming Dynasty.

............

The inner court, the rank of the ranks of the red-robed palm seals were all counted, and Cao Huachun, who was waiting for the city to leave the city like those in the cabinet.

Cao Huachun gave his experiences and stories in Nanhaizi to everyone, without exaggeration or deletion.

"Thousand Years?"

Ma Tang laughed furiously, "He Wei Liangchen dared to ask his personal army to call him Qiansui. Does he want to be eight thousand years old or nine thousand years old, or nine thousand nine hundred and nine hundred nine nine nine nine years old!"

"Eunuch Sun, everyone is going to be a thousand years old. Have we, the old bones, voluntarily abdicated so that we won't be disliked?" Wang Shun of the Fourth Admiral's Division smiled dryly.

"Our old bone can be retreated at any time, so I'll push it first."

Si Li's palm prints Sun Xian's face with an old man spot, and his face was loose and unsatisfied. He half-drooped with his eyelids, suddenly raised his head and looked at another red-robed big man sitting next to him, "Things have come to this point. Eunuch Zhang, tell the truth, is Wei Liangchen cleansed himself?"

The words were a question, but the tone was full of sharpness.

"What does Eunuch Sun mean?" Zhang Cheng thrust his face.

"Eunuch Zhang should know what we mean. Xiao Liu has been out of seclusion for a few days, but he didn't even reply. The Jinyiwei who followed him had nowhere to go. Our family was afraid of thinking... If we don't know the truth, we will probably not be able to die in peace."

After saying that, Sun Xian started coughing, took out a veil, covered his thick phlegm, and threw it into the spittoon.

"Zhang Cheng, it's about the safety of the court. Do you still want to hide it for Wei Liangchen?" The person who spoke was Ma Tang, the youngest person present, 42 years old this year.

The other two Bingbi Qian Zhong and Xiao Yu were also looking at Zhang Cheng. Except for Liang Dong, who was imprisoned in Nanyuan by the Imperial Horse Prison, Bingbi was exactly the same.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Cheng suddenly laughed: "It seems that some things are hidden in the dark, but that's fine. Since you want to know, let's give you an accurate statement, well, then Wei Liangchen has been cleansed."

"How could it be?"

The red robe all showed incredible faces, and Ma Tang's body shivered even more incredible.

"how?"

Zhang Cheng looked surprised and then laughed, "Do you believe that a person who has no purity can be so trustworthy for the emperor, can he be the admiral of the maritime affairs and the admiral of the personal army?"

My throat was obviously a little hoarse when I laughed.

All the red robes were stuck there.

Sun Xian frowned slightly, looked at the horse hall standing there with dissatisfaction, then picked up the tea bowl and drank it, raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and said slowly: "No matter whether Wei Liangchen is clean or not, now everyone is doing Qiansui, let's cheer up and fight with this Qiansui well."

"I'm going to fight. I will never allow my personal army to enter the city. I think it's going to be a real fight." Xiao Yu said.

"Is Jingying reliable?"

The person who spoke was Qian Zhong. Originally, the inner court could have been able to mobilize the Warriors' Camp and the Tengxiang Guards, but now the Imperial Horse Supervision collectively "murdered" and turned to Wei Liangchen, which made the inner court no longer have troops to adjust. So the only thing that can be relied on for the safety of the capital now is the Beijing Camp.
