Chapter 280 Two major events (2)
As soon as Tang Feng finished his few words, everyone's faces changed. Some were surprised, while more were gloating because they knew that Tang Feng had offended people who should not be offended, and not one, but two. Although Tang Feng only said that Tian Ergeng of the Jinyiwei was too tolerant and even cowardly, he also vaguely mentioned the domineering of the people in the Dongchang. This was something that even the leading figures in the court like Gu and Wei dared not say in person.
Seeing the various expressions of the people, Tang Feng just sneered in his heart. He knew very well what these people were thinking, but he had his own plans. After waiting for a while, Wei Zhongxian could digest his words, he said: "So if you want to give everyone an explanation, you must only ask Tian Ergeng. If it weren't for his repeated tolerance, the Jinyiwei would not have done such a scheming thing. Of course, the people who gathered to make trouble should not be spared easily. Only in this way can people convince themselves and not cause the disgust of other Jinyiweis. I wonder what Jiuqiansui thinks about Xiaguan's advice?"
The reason why Wei Zhongxian wanted to hear Tang Feng's opinion was mainly because he knew the relationship between Lu An and others and thought that the matter was dominated by him, but now he didn't seem to be the same as he said. So he was a little surprised. After a while, he said, "Tang Feng, you are a military officer, you are young and you only know how to fight for the storm, so you have such a suggestion. However, in this way, there will inevitably be a battle for the position of admiral in the Jinyiwei, which is very unfavorable to the guarantee of the capital, so our family will not adopt this method. As for those who make trouble, although they have committed a crime, fortunately they have not injured anyone's lives, so they will be sentenced to a light sentence. The people who took the lead have been given a court stick and a salary of one year, while the other Jinyiwei who followed them have been given a court stick and a salary of three hundred and a salary of six months."
Tang Feng understood the importance of Tian Ergeng and others to Wei Zhongxian, so he pulled him out to block the possibility that he would punish Luo Yangxing severely. Now he finally achieved his goal. However, he didn't want the people from the East Factory to take advantage of it. Anyway, he had offended him before, so he said again: "Nine Thousand Years later, you are a minor punishment for the people in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but what about the East Factory? They trespassed the Embroidered Uniform Guard several times and injured many Jinyi Captains. They always have to bear some guilt, right?"
Many officials present were even more shocked and looked at Tang Feng with unbelievable eyes. They thought he was crazy about gaining and losing, and actually dared to make things difficult for Dongchang like this. Are you not afraid of them causing trouble in the future? Some people even made up their minds and dared not have any interaction with Tang Feng in the future. Wei Zhongxian was also surprised, but he asked this, naturally it was not easy to pretend that he had not heard anything. He glared at Tang Feng and then said, "Since that's the case, let's act according to the Jinyiwei's method!"
Seeing that Wei Zhongxian had already decided on the handling plan, the happiest thing besides Tang Feng were the officials of the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple. They were really worried these two days. All the people who were imprisoned in the heavenly prison could not afford to offend them, and it was really difficult to convict them. Now Jiu Qiansui had said in person and decided the case, so they just had to act accordingly and no longer had to bear any responsibility.
Tang Feng's seemingly reckless and offended many people not only solved the matter, but also made him clear of the relationship with the matter. This made several people who knew what Wei Zhongxian was thinking at that time couldn't help but admire and feel a little regretful. Of course, the feeling of pity was that it took the big part. Even people like Gu Bingqian, their eyes looked a little different when they looked at Tang Feng.
Seeing Wei Zhongxian so happy, Tang Feng gave up a very headache-inducing thing, and felt like he was in a dream. Even if he could be so watery, if he had to protect the East Factory and stepped on the Jinyiwei at the age of nine thousand years old, he would probably have to be severely punished by Luo Yangxing and others, and even he would be implicated. "What is the reason why Wei Zhongxian dared not drag the matter down again. Did something bigger happen? So he must end the matter first?" Tang Feng had already left an idea in his mind.
After taking a sip of tea and moistening his throat, Wei Zhongxian continued to say, "This first small matter is solved, but there is another bigger thing that needs to be solved by everyone." Everyone was stunned when he heard him say this. You must know that the matter between Jinyiwei and Dongchang is already the biggest thing that happened in the capital after the Donglin Party was removed. How could there be a bigger event than it? Everyone looked at Wei Zhongxian nervously and waited for him to talk down.
"It turns out that! He actually said something small about such a big thing. Something must have happened!" After hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Tang Feng became more sure of his judgment. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous, "Is it because the Jin people attacked the border again? Or was the Mongolian people in the north provoking again?"
"Bingqian, you are the chief minister of the cabinet, so you can tell everyone about this." Wei Zhongxian did not explain it personally, but said to Gu Bingqian, who was sitting at his head after waiting. Gu Bingqian hurriedly responded, and then slowly said: "Yesterday evening, we received an urgent delivery from 800 miles from Shandong, saying that there was a big chaos in Jinan and its surrounding prefectures and counties. Tens of thousands of people gathered together and injured officials in several yamen. In other words, he said that his tone was solemn: "There has been a civil unrest in Jinan! It is reported that those rioters have beaten and killed many officials, and even the governor Bi Qian appointed by the court died at their hands. Now chaos in the whole of Shandong may occur!"
As Gu Bingqian finished his words, the hall was in an uproar. There had never been such a big thing since the Apocalypse. Everyone was panicked and just kept saying "outrageous" and "rebel against it!" without any other constructive words.
Tang Feng's heart moved, and he had already guessed why Wei Zhongxian sent someone to the army to find him after the city gate was closed yesterday. It turned out that everything was for this matter, and it was not much related to the matter of the Jinyiwei, which calmed down much of Tang Feng's already a little nervous. I believe that when he learned that there was a civil rebellion in Jinan, this dead eunuch who only knew how to slander people and used conspiracies, but in fact he was a little panicked about the dead eunuch who had limited knowledge of governing the country. Among the officials he could trust, he had the experience of leading troops to fight, so he was so anxious to summon himself to Beijing.
"Following this situation, he did not rely on me for some speculation but was slightly lighter. This is a very good opportunity to further improve my position in the court. Moreover, the civil rebellion has also had a great blow to the Ming Dynasty. If I want to change the fate of the Ming Dynasty to decline, I must quickly calm it down." Thinking of these two points, Tang Feng had already made a decision.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian had already coughed, calmed everyone in the hall and spoke: "Although this civil rebellion is not known, and the cause of the incident is just some ordinary people, I, the Ming Dynasty, cannot have such a thing happen. Moreover, even the current emperor already knows this, he issued an order to our family and Lord Gu, so that we must calm the matter in the shortest time and restore peace to Shandong. Today, our family called you all to help you come up with ideas and see who dares to take on this important task!"
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all shut their mouths. If there was a fat man in Shandong waiting for someone to do it, the officials here would have been blushing and thick-necked, but if they were talking about quelling the civil unrest, basically everyone here did not have the ability to do this. They only knew that they would fight for each other in the court, or flattering, but when they were really nervous, they would just hide behind and dare not speak out. Of course, this also includes some people who really wanted to do things for the court and the people, but after being in the eunuch party for a long time, these people began to learn to protect themselves. As long as they did not make mistakes, it would be better to flatter the nine thousand years old than to make meritorious contributions.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wei Zhongxian was very annoyed. He never expected that these people didn't even have the courage to share some of them. Then could he trust them? After a while, he said with a gloomy face: "Why, such a big thing happened in my Ming Dynasty. Now when you need the people who receive the salary of the court to serve, do you have no responsibility at all? Are you still men?"
Listening to Wei Zhongxian's words with a stern voice, everyone was shocked and was pointed at by a eunuch and asked if it was a man. This made everyone very embarrassed, but the fear in their hearts did not make their embarrassment last long. Now they are afraid that Jiu Qiansui will designate themselves, so some people unconsciously lean back, hoping that Wei Zhongxian did not see him and would not force himself to calm the matter down. Although it seems that it is not a man to stand up now, if they take on this matter, they may not even be able to do it. After all, the civil rebellion is not a joke. Even if they are not injured by those rioters, they may be blamed by the court for improper handling. It will be light to lose office and dismiss the office.
