Chapter 352: Silence!
Looking around the already orderly military camp, Li Banghua and Sun Chuanting subconsciously looked at each other, and they could clearly see the deep worries in each other's eyes.
From the news of the mutiny to their arrival, it was only two quarters of an hour at most.
In just two quarters of an hour, there was no trace of mutiny at all.
What it means is obviously very clear.
Either, this mutiny is a guise to shock them, or a carefully planned play!
Or, it will really change and then be pacified in such a short time!
No matter which answer, obviously, is not a good thing.
If it was a carefully planned scene, it would mean that the legal principles they relied on were no longer deterrent in the eyes of the Duke of Qin.
If a mutiny is really changed and it will be pacified in such a short time, it will undoubtedly clearly show the prestige of Qin Gong in this army.
They are all people who have had experience in commanding troops, so they naturally know how difficult it is to change the mutiny under the restlessness of the army!
In less than two quarters of an hour, if we count the time to travel, we will almost pacify it if we arrive. This prestige in the army...
"The person below had a fever in his head, but he was just a false alarm. I was so worried that the two elders had a trip!"
Before Sun Chuanting and Li Banghua and the others could speak, Li Xiu smiled and greeted him.
Hearing Li Xiu's words, Sun Chuanting and the others were speechless. The mutiny of the Beijing Army was just a false alarm. What else is there to do?
"When the Empress Dowager heard about the mutiny, she sent us to assist Duke Qin in handling the mutiny. I wonder if Duke Qin could tell Li in detail what the situation was. Li could also go to the palace to report to the Empress Dowager!"
Seeing that the identity of the cabinet minister could no longer play a role, Li Banghua could only lift the empress dowager out, and the implication was undoubtedly very clear.
Li Xiu seemed to not understand, seemed shocked, and then said seriously: "Don't worry, two sirs, I must report this matter to the Empress Dowager in person!"
After saying that, he did not give Li Banghua and the others any other excuses, and said: "All those who should incite the morale of the army, this governor has dealt with them severely according to the military law to serve as a warning to others. He will never let anyone have ulterior motives!"
When they heard this, Li Banghua and Sun Chuanting were speechless. They said this. They couldn't see it. Qin Gong was not going to let them intervene at all, and even did not even let them know the specific situation.
If they don't let them intervene, they can understand, but if they even have to hide the situation...
This made Sun Chuanting and Li Banghua a little confused.
Recalling the recent turmoil among the army, the two seemed to understand a little.
The mutiny is true, but... the demand for mutiny is probably a rebellious thing...
This explained why Mr. Qin didn't want them to participate, or even let them know.
Thinking of this, Li Banghua and the others immediately calmed down, smiling politely, never mentioning the word mutiny.
Qin Gong himself would not want to tear this taboo, so how could they tear it apart foolishly and force Qin Gong into a dead end!
After a few words of politeness, Li Banghua and the others who came hurriedly left immediately.
Watching Li Banghua and the others who were walking away in a hurry, Li Xiu couldn't help but chuckled. It was comfortable to deal with smart people. Although he was not ruthless when stabbing, many times, smart people could detect the key to the problem and not be foolish and force neither side to retreat.
I just hope that the advice of the two cabinet ministers can make the Empress Dowager calm down.
If this face is completely torn apart, there is really no way out.
Even if it is destined to tear apart the skin, at least for now, this skin must be maintained.
After all, why bother to be able to prepare better?
But many things obviously won't go well.
Li Xiu wanted to be stable because he wanted to clarify the northern provinces and draw out a reliable basic foundation.
Most court officials must also hope to be stable. They also hope to win in this stability, use their rich experience in power struggle, use these legal principles, systems and rules to redeem their disadvantages bit by bit.
But no matter how stable the law is, if the law and principles are in chaos, no one can do anything about it.
Li Xiu could not stop it, and the court officials who relied on the principles of law could not stop it.
"Hope!"
Li Xiu shook his head, then turned over and rode away, surrounded by horses.
What's strange is that the mutiny that should have caused the storm of the city did not cause much noise this time. Even if there was a little movement in the past, the censor of the Six Censors who jumped happily would never mention the word mutiny.
The public opinion of the upper class was silenced, and the middle class gentry and literati naturally dared not say much.
This mutiny was like an invisible big hand that suppressed the supposedly boiling public opinion to the bottom.
In the study of Qin Gong’s Mansion, after Li Xiu received the report from the Jinyiwei, a solemn look appeared between his eyebrows.
Obviously, to some extent, this is a demonstration by civil officials.
But it is undeniable that in terms of truth and public opinion, Li Xiu and the military soldiers under him are not as good as those of the literati who have lasted for hundreds of years.
As the saying goes, the same is true for the iron camp, the flowing soldiers, and the civil servants. Even if the dynasties change and the world is divided and merged, these scholars are indispensable.
This is true for the past, present, or distant future.
Li Xiu never regarded the entire literati class as his enemy. What he always wanted to do was to revitalize this already corrupt literati class.
However, due to all kinds of things, at least for now, he is powerless in many things.
The civil and military despicable people of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years could not be easily changed by his own hands.
Either it takes a long time to change people's concepts bit by bit, or use iron and blood to forcefully reverse this concept.
However, for now, although he has never regarded the literati as an enemy, it is obvious that the literati have long regarded him as a bandit and a thief in the country!
However, in the past, with the support of imperial power, literati were powerless, but now it is obviously completely different.
All kinds of thoughts flowed, and Li Xiu slowly let go of the Jinyiwei report in his hand.
What civil officials rely on is nothing more than legal principles, rules and systems.
In history, the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, from being a noble scholar and a literati, from being brave enough to reject the emperor's will, scolding the emperor in person, to shouting long live, and beating and scolding the slaves.
At any time, when the mouth and the gun are fighting, the winner will only be the gun, and there will be no suspense!
