Chapter 115: Rumors and Party Controversy

(On August 15, 2016, the second year of Xue, Haidu City was more lively than usual. On this day, all workshops had holidays. People shuttled through the long streets full of shops to start purchasing festival products. Merchants seized this opportunity and sold their products to the extreme, making it noisy. Xue speeding first launch

The thousands of households on duty on the Beizhen Fushi Office hid bored in the wing room on the left ear of the court to rest. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and many yamen have already had their holidays. The Beizhen Fushi Office is responsible for the garrison in the capital, but instead becomes busy. All the horses are exploring horses in the city to find out the news. Every half an hour, the ti cavalry enters the yamen to report safety. At this time, the city is full of soldiers, and even the newly recruited new troops are used, patrolling the streets in one team of ten people. The thousand households do not believe that there will be someone to make trouble at this time. However, even though that is the position of the corporal position, the thousand households dare not neglect it.

"Sir, the east of the city is peaceful, the brothers are covered with stakes, and nothing is abnormal." A man dressed as a merchant came in and bowed to compile the report.

"Thank you for your hard work in General Heqi." Qianhu blew tea foam and raised his legs with serene satisfaction. All four doors had reported peace. There was nothing unusual in the east, west, and south of the city. As long as there was no problem in the north of the city, he would be relieved.

"Come on, come on, sit down and drink tea, squatted from noon until now, look at you sweating." Qianhu was in a good mood and greeted Mr. He to sit down.

"Sir, Master," most of the Jinyiwei were rough people, and they were not as polite as literati. He Zongqi bowed his hand and bowed to his feet. He immediately brought tea to him. He Zongqi was obviously thirsty and drank it dry with a rumble. He rubbed the tea residue beside his mouth and smiled and said, "The thousand-home adults are considerate of humble positions, and they are grateful for their humble positions."

"Sir, I heard that a few days ago Commander Hu wanted to transfer a team of brothers back to Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Jiangnan and other provinces?"

Qianhu nodded and said, "There is such a thing. This is the emperor's intention. The emperor praised our Beizhenfushi. Therefore, he wanted to secretly sneak into a group of brothers to go to the occupied areas to spy on military information, but the candidates have not been determined yet. The commander-in-chief meant to make final accounts after the selection."

President He lit up his eyes and said, "Then this salary doubles, and it's true that you can get promoted after three years?"

Qianhu laughed and said, "Old He, what's your idea? Do you want to go to the occupied area?"

He Zongqi was also very moved. He is now the General Banner of the Jinyiwei, and he is not a small official. He only cares about fifty people. But this is indeed a hereditary official position, and his descendants can inherit it when they grow up. Therefore, he has been trying to find a way to promote the general banner to a hundred households and thousands of households. The descendants are backing his big tree to enjoy the coolness, but how can they be promoted? Usually, the Haidu city is calm and there is nothing big. Therefore, he thought about working in the occupied area for a few years. Although it is dangerous, he is not vague when he raises the official position. He compensates

He smiled and said, "I think I'm thinking, but I don't know how to select the people from the north, and how to settle the credit if they make contributions. I, Lao He, are always loyal to the emperor, and I am cautious in daily life. Although I have not made any contributions, I have worked hard. You always see this, you are afraid that the commander of Hu will not look down on my old bones. Oh, who wouldn't want to have a wife and a child? I, Lao He, is still forty. Half of my body is going to be in the land, and I have to make plans for my descendants while I am still able to move. I have to plan for my descendants."

Qianhu also nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and inadvertently remembered his two incompetent sons. He said, "Since you have this idea, Qianhu will definitely say a few good words to you in front of the commander-in-chief."

The two chatted a few more about the recent changes in the city, and they were all very moved. Qianhu was not arrogant and started to laugh with He Zongqi. At this time, outside the room, he heard a tick of horse boots slamming the ground. Qianhu raised his legs solemnly and held his mouth, only seeing that the general flag of the patrol area in the north of the city had also come back.

"General Li Qi, what's the situation in the north of the city?" Qianhu saw that General Li Qi's face was unwilling and expected something to happen, so he asked the first question.

Mr. Li gave a greeting to Qianhu, and nodded to Mr. He sideways, as if he had met with his colleagues, and then said, "Rumors are coming from the north of the city, and someone is going to assassinate the horse tonight."

Qianhu, General He, all the people were moved, and they suddenly stood up and said, "Who is it?"

Mr. Li said: "I don't know if it's false. In short, it's a rumor that has been spreading from the north of the city. The brothers are inquiring about it. The battalions have also sent troops to search the north of the city. If they find suspicious, they will directly lead them to the Ministry of Justice to ask questions. In the current situation, Zhang Youde, the commander of the Shenyong Camp, and Mu Jianming, the commander of the Shenji Camp, personally dispatched troops to guard all intersections in the north of the city. Their meaning is that they would rather trust them than trust them. They would rather capture a thousand mistakes than let one go."

While talking, Qianhu and He Zongqi had already stepped on the Jinchun sword. Qianhu Yang Yang said, "The two commanders are right. Our Beizhen Fushi must not slack off. Mr. Li, please go and report to the commander Hu. He Zongqi ordered the brothers in the good office and went to the north of the city with our Qianhu."

"As for orders." The two general flags clasped their fists together.

Hu Yan, the commander of the Jinyiwei, had a rest this morning, and had enough energy to deal with the Mid-Autumn Night at night. After learning the news, he suddenly felt sleepy. He shouted at General Li who was reporting the news: "What are you still doing? Immediately notify all the Jinyiwei thousands of households, hundreds of households, General Banners, Xiaoqi, and Tiqi who were on the morning vacation to go to various cities to investigate. All suspects and others were taken to the Ministry of Justice for questioning."

Mr. Li responded and flew away. Hu Yan didn't care about being wearing a court uniform, and hurriedly led a fast horse to the palace. This fact was too great and he could not make any decision. He had to ask the emperor for instructions first before making a decision.

After being introduced to the Cold Winter Pavilion by the eunuch, three Grand Secretary and officials from various departments had already gathered here. Hu Yan hurriedly stepped forward and shouted long live my emperor, and then apologized: "I am the commander of the Northern Punishment Department. I have not learned about this until now. I deserve to die. Please punish the emperor."

These court officials learned the news earlier than Hu Yan, and all rushed to see each other. The two sides were arguing about this issue. The faction led by Mu Tianbo and Yang Side believed that since there was danger, the gentleman would not set up a dangerous wall, so they advised the emperor to cancel the activities tonight. However, the faction led by Zhou Mubai was not like this. They believed that the will had been issued, and the king did not joke. If it was cancelled without authorization, it would be ridiculous. It had a great influence on the emperor's prestige. Each party quoted the scriptures and was lingering. Zhu Jun was dizzy when they fought for it. At this time, when Hu Yan came, he breathed a sigh of relief. He calmly asked: "Haoqing, you are just here. What's the situation outside now?"

Hu Yan said: "The army and horses of all battalions have been dispatched, blocking four cities, and obstacles have been set up at each intersection. The Jinyiwei has canceled his vacation and rushed to all parts of the city to inquire. However, the murderers are still missing, and I don't know whether the rumors are true or false."

Zhu Jun said with a deep eyebrows: "What's the use of blocking the city gates and the streets? Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Wouldn't such a mobilization of the festival disrupt the festive atmosphere? The murderer is in the dark. What's the use of your careless search? Is it a quick order to let all the soldiers return to the camp."

"Emperor, it is natural to disturb the people, but it is not appropriate to let the soldiers return to the camp. In the opinion of the humble minister, the emperor still has to participate in the festival this night, otherwise it would be necessary to show weakness to the bandits. However, this protection must be done sufficiently. It would be better to transfer all the soldiers in the city except for the soldiers guarding the four gates to the surrounding palace ban. With so many soldiers guarding, even if those bandits have the courage to assassinate, they cannot hurt the emperor at all." Zhou Mubai supported Zhu Jun to continue participating in the festival. After all, there were many soldiers in the city, so it was impossible to assassinate them. If they just shrank in the palace because of a rumor, they would only make laughs at the world.

Hu Yan couldn't help but think when he heard Zhou Mubai's opinion, frowned and thought. At this time, Yang Side had already stood up and said, "Mr. Zhou, the emperor's dragon body is the most important. Even if he is stabbed, he should not be so dangerous. Do you have any intention to instigate the emperor to continue to attend the celebration?"

This sentence immediately attracted a strong backlash from officials of Zhou Mubai's faction. Someone stood up and said, "Mr. Yang said this, but should he slander Mr. Zhou and his bandits collude with the bandits? If so, the officials would also support the emperor to attend the celebration. Lord. Yang would impeach the officials together."

Someone came forward and said, "If those who support the emperor to attend the celebration are colluding with the bandits, then Lord Yang hopes that after hearing the news of catching wind and shadow, will he persuade him to retreat to the imperial city and not leave. Wouldn't he betray the emperor to the point of not believing in unrighteousness? He is so scheming that the subordinates dare to ask, does Lord Yang have any conspiracy?"

I think all the ministers who supported Emperor Yongli ascended the throne had all parties, including the Donglin Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, and the fence-skinned officials. When the country was in danger, everyone could work together. Now the court has gained a firm foothold in Nanyang, and the three cabinet ministers in the court were not in harmony, so they took advantage of this opportunity to attack the group.

Mu, when the officials of the Yang Yi faction saw that the Zhou party insulted Yang Side, Yang Side was already angry and smoked, someone immediately stood up and retorted: "Master Yang is loyal to the country. In order to eliminate the pirates, hey, as for Master Zhou, hey, I thought it was really amazing when he was doing Han people's affairs in the past. Not only was he disrespectful to the emperor, but he also became more and more extorted money and property. Such an unkind, unfaithful and unbeliever, even if he colluded with the bandits, it was not entirely a stolen person."

Mu Tianbo is already the leader of Mu Yang's party, but he is also the chief minister of the cabinet. Now the two parties have tear their faces in front of the emperor, and it is actually involved in personal attacks. He is afraid that the emperor will blame him, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Yang is loyal to the country, and Lord Zhou is also a pillar of the Ming Dynasty. You don't have to fight for me, everything depends on the emperor's wishes."
