Chapter 183 Or, let me have a look?
There was a military change in Shanhaiguan, which was very sudden and serious.
According to reports, about thousands of open and military troops stationed in Shanhaiguan secretly contacted each other and were preparing to join the Jurchens. After being dissuaded by the officers, Gao Huai, the Liaodong Mining Supervisor, ordered people to collect a list of soldiers in the sergeant, preparing to capture them all to prevent future troubles.
As a result, for some reason, the matter leaked, so the garrison was in anger and besieged the tax envoy's yamen. At the same time, the Ming army stationed in Songshan and Jinzhou also launched a mutiny to support him when they heard the news.
Gao Huai was afraid, and fled to the pass under the cover of his entourage. He now hid in Yongping Mansion. He only sent someone to deliver the news to the palace, but he did not dare to enter the capital.
Wanli was furious, even more angry than before receiving news of military and civilian riots in Yunnan, because the border troops were chaotic this time, and the nature of the matter was very serious. If it was not pacified as soon as possible, it would be very likely that Liaodong would be in chaos.
Moreover, like Yunnan, the spearhead of this military change is also aimed at the mining supervision and taxation commander.
Jin Zhong was very panicked when he entered the palace to report the news, and Concubine Zheng was even more shocked.
Shanhaiguan is located in the capital, and it is an important town inside and outside the capital. If it fails, the world will be shaken. More importantly, even Songjin's garrison participated in the mutiny. In this way, there will be tens of thousands of riots. If anyone stands out to lead the riots, it may be that the capital is in danger.
No one asked Wei Liangchen for his opinion, because he could have any ideas for such a big deal.
The angry Wanli paced around the hall, and finally he asked Jin Zhong what he could do.
Jin Zhong hesitated and said, "I don't know how to make a decision, why don't Your Majesty summon Master Ye to ask."
"Call him and ask, he will ask me to let Gao Huai go, and then lay off all the mining tax envoys." Wanli snorted.
"The riots are clamoring, and the situation is critical. If it causes greater unrest, it will be amazing." Jin Zhong advised that no matter what the foreign court requested, the emperor must respond first and calm the mutiny.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Jin's words are reasonable. If things are not resolved as soon as possible, there will be more trouble." Concubine Zheng also advised.
"this…"
Wanli was hesitant, and he always had a big question in his mind, that is, why did the garrison at Shanhaiguan change and why did Songjin's garrison also participate in it.
But no matter who is in charge behind this, the incident must be calmed down immediately. Wanli thought about it and had no choice but to ask Jin Zhong to go to Xuan Ye Xianggao to enter the palace.
At this moment, a voice came from my ears: "How about you let me go and have a look?"
It is naturally Wei Liangchen who speaks.
"You?" Wanli was stunned, and Concubine Zheng was also surprised.
"There is always a reason for such a big thing. No matter how your Majesty decides, you must at least understand what's going on. The grass-roots are fine anyway, so why not just go and see for Your Majesty."
The good minister stared at Wanli calmly, and his face seemed to have the words "Brave and loyalty, go through fire and water".
...
Liangchen didn't know that in history, someone said the same thing to him, that person was Sun Chengzong, and he is currently in the Zhan Shifu Yude.
This is a small official, but has a great future, because the main responsibility of this official is to give lectures to the prince. In other words, this is a teacher who prepares the emperor. In the future, he will be called the emperor's teacher.
However, Sun Chengzong said this to his emperor student Tianqi.
The incident also happened in Liaodong. The cause was that the Liaodong General Wang Zaijin and his fifth-rank military officer named Yuan Chonghuan had a conflict of opinions on how to defend.
So, Emperor Tianqi asked his teacher about his opinion, and Sun Chengzong said that he might as well go and have a look.
Now, Liangchen said this to the grandfather of Apocalypse.
Wanli affirmed Wei Liangchen's courage. He did not think that this little guy would not succeed because of his young age, so he decisively asked Jin Zhong to make arrangements immediately.
When it comes to knowing people, Wanli believes in his vision.
This treasure called Wei Liangchen may be really useful.
Before leaving, Concubine Zheng suddenly said: "If there is danger, you will be safeguarding yourself and return. Your Majesty will not blame you."
"Empress, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."
Liangchen nodded slightly and bowed to retreat. Jin Zhong took him outside Donghua Gate and asked him to wait there. The emperor naturally could not let Wei Liangchen go to Shanhaiguan alone, and the inner court always had to arrange people to accompany him.
After waiting for about half an hour, Jin Zhong led a man over.
This man looked at him about thirty years old and was also a pure eunuch, but he was not wearing an insult, but a prison uniform.
This man may have heard from Jin Zhong what he was going to do, so when he saw Wei Liangchen, he just nodded and said nothing else.
Looking at it, he was very calm and had no fear at all. This made Liangchen very happy. He was very afraid that Jin Zhong would arrange for him a timid father-in-law, and in that case, he would probably be cheated by his teammates.
"Li Yongzhen, you go to Shanhaiguan with Wei Liangchen. You can do your job well and you will not blame you. The emperor will also talk to you and always ask you to escape from prison."
"Don't worry, Eunuch Jin, Yongzhen should do his best."
Li Yongzhen seemed to be not very fond of talking, and after responding, he stopped talking again. Jin Zhong knew his nature and was not concerned. He just asked Liangchen and Li Yongzhen to go and arrange for Jinyiwei to escort the staff.
After Jin Zhong left, Liangchen had already looked at Li Yongzhen carefully.
I don’t know if it can be described as fate. Wang Tiqian and Li Yongzhong’s two second uncles will come to him in the future.
Li Yongzhen was originally a close attendant of the Queen Wang of Kunning Palace, but when she saw Queen Wang beat the palace servants once, she couldn't stand it and persuaded her to be angry and imprisoned her until now. This person can read the Four Books, the Book of Songs, the Book of Books, the Zuo Zhuan, and the Han Feizi, and is an incredible talent in the palace.
The Shanhaiguan army changed, and no one was willing to take risks. Jin Zhong thought of Li Yongzhen, who had been imprisoned for eight years, because Li Yongzhen had been in the military service before entering Kunning Palace.
There are only two yamen in the palace that are related to military affairs, one is the Imperial Horse Supervision and the other is the War Staff Bureau.
Jin Zhong hopes that Li Yongzhen's military experience can help Wei Liangchen.
Li Yongzhen noticed that Wei Liangchen was looking at him, but he was not unhappy at all. He just stood there quietly, his face very calmly.
Liangchen withdrew his gaze and felt confident that Li Yongzhen was a capable person.
Not long after, Jin Zhong brought the escorts from the Jinyiwei. These two people were actually Liangchen's acquaintances, namely Tian Gang and Li Wei, who had sent Liangchen to the capital with Wang Tiqian.
Tian Gang was nothing, while Li Wei looked reluctant, but Jin Zhong named him, and he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.
Jin Zhong arranged a carriage for Wei Liangchen, but he did not go up, but asked Jin Zhong: "Can you arrange a mount for me?"
Jin Zhong was very surprised: "You can ride a horse?"
"Yes. The situation is tense and there is no need to delay. You must go there quickly."
The good minister was simple and clear in his words, and there was a world of difference between riding a horse and riding a carriage. Now he had to show his courage, so that even if he went to Shanhaiguan, he could leave a good impression on Wanli's heart even if he did nothing.
Sure enough, Jin Zhong's face moved and immediately asked someone to lead a horse. Liang Chen turned over the horse and moved very skillfully. Jin Zhong felt even more at ease when he saw it.
Li Yongzhen obviously knows how to ride a horse, and Hotan Gang and the others also turn on the horse. At that moment, Liangchen and Jin Zhong said goodbye, and the four of them rode straight to the outside of Donghua Gate.
