Chapter 224 Zhengde's Counterattack

Chapter 224 Zhengde Counterattack

The ministers were stunned when they heard Liu Jin's words, even the Three Grand Secretary, Yang Ling and others were no exception, but they did not dare to hesitate and hurried forward and knelt down.

Liu Jin looked at the six people kneeling under the Danxie with a complicated expression, and said loudly: "The emperor was in a contempt for Datong in order to form the three guards of Duoyan to defeat the powerful Tatars. Now, there is a personal army commander, Yang Ling, the mighty man, offered advice in front of him, and he personally negotiated with Uryan Hahua to eliminate border troubles and make great achievements, and ensure the peace of our country and country. His military achievements have been great. No one has surpassed his power for more than a hundred years in the Ming Dynasty. He has achieved military achievements and promoted the title of Marquis of Power and Marquis of the Right Pillar!"

There was a commotion in the hall, and Yang Ling's head buzzed, and he was stunned for a moment and forgot to receive the order to thank him.

For a young minister who is not a relative of the state and is only young, he was promoted to a marquis and a general of the throne. Although these are just false titles without real power, no one can match this glory and favor. Rewards are light, how can a minister who is a person not domineering or negligent?

At this moment, a few ministers wanted to go forward and make suggestions to stop them. Liu Jin looked at him without squinting and said first: "Zhang Yong, the Beijing Wuying, followed the sage and silence, and made great contributions. He gave him a python dragon jade belt, and allowed him to ride a horse in the palace, ride a sedan chair, and also took charge of the Qianqing Palace and the imperial supervisory affairs."

Zhang Yong was both surprised and happy, and kowtowed tremblingly, "I received the order to thank you!"

Liu Jin also said: "The West Registration Office Miao Kui's army was not good, and he should have been punished. However, Miao Kui led 5,000 light cavalry to the barren land, disturbed the enemy's enemy, and removed our border siege. It was said that he had worked hard and made great contributions. I clearly defined the rewards and punishments. I specially gave python robes, jade belts, gold medals and silver coins, and allowed them to ride horses and sedan chairs in the palace. The salary increased to 300 stones. I was also the admiral Shangshen, Shangyi, and the official positions, and the supervisors of the internal officials."

Miao Kui fought for his life, but he really got the favor of Emperor Zhengde. He was busy and kowtowed happily to thank him.

"During my inspection, the three Grand Secretary of the Cabinet presided over the state affairs, and worked hard every day to make me have no worries. Grand Secretary Li Dongyang was specially promoted to the Guanglu Dafu, and was awarded the title of Taibao, Grand Secretary Jiao Fang, and Yang Tinghe were awarded the title of Zuozhuguo. They were encouraged and admired."

When the late emperor passed away, Li Dongyang was promoted to the title of Taishi, Taifu, and Shangzhu Kingdom. Now he has added the title of Taibao, and specially promoted to the title of Guanglu Dafu, Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao. He is already a great minister and has reached the highest level of civil officials. He is promoted to the title unless he makes military achievements.

After hearing the emperor's imperial edict, Li Dongyang understood the emperor's intention. This time, the Hanlin scholars backfired. In order to dissuade the emperor from staying in the palace, they tried their best to eliminate the military achievements made by suppressing him in Datong. Today, the young emperor immediately returned the favor and rewarded the ministers who had made great contributions. If all the ministers he brought to Datong to make great achievements, then is it worth mentioning whether the emperor's trip to Datong has made great achievements?

As for rewarding himself and three others, the emperor was just blocking the mouths of all officials, so Li Dongyang was not happy. Instead, he was worried that the emperor and his ministers would be so tit-for-tat. Today, the dynasty would be afraid of being in trouble. Jiao Fang and Yang Tinghe had already shown the intention of righteousness. However, the glory of the promotion to the Pillars was really attractive. They were still surprised and happy when they heard this, and they couldn't help but thank them together.

Hanlin scholar Lu Jin could no longer hold back. He took advantage of the opportunity of the three great scholars to thank him for his orders and stood up and immediately came out to report: "Emperor, there is no conclusion on the matter of Datong, how can you reward the title and salary lightly? I ask the emperor to take back his order and do it with caution."

Zhengde smiled slightly and said, "Outside Datong City, the Tatar barbarians buried more than 10,000 corpses. If you want to make a conclusion, I will make a conclusion when the coffin board is covered. Why do you need to interfere?"

He suddenly stood up, his face as deep as water, and said lightly: "Is Lu Qing talking about me, the dignified Emperor Ming Dynasty, who actually lied and deceived the ministers?"

Lu Jin blushed and said, "Your Majesty forgives your crime. I don't mean this. I am saying that the border troops take credit for rewards, and for example, they are extremely bold!" He glanced at Yang Ling, and said with some meaning: "I am afraid that the emperor will be deceived."

Zhengde smiled happily, sat back on the chair and said, "Lu Aiqing is too worried. I have seen it with my own eyes in Datong. If someone can get more than 10,000 Tatar bodies to deceive me, then I hope I will be deceived several times."

Seeing that several more officials stood up and wanted to repeat yesterday's scene, he couldn't help but smile and sang: "My dear friends, I still have the decree to announce it, Liu Jin..."

"Yes, the emperor," Liu Jin bowed and said loudly: "I and the border have seen the soldiers of the border, fighting bravely and swear to serve the lives of the people. Although the Tatar Iron Cavalry is as brave as a tiger, it is not the enemy of our Ming soldiers. Now I will issue an edict to commend it, which will be conveyed by the Ministry of War to the Three Passes of Datong.

Deputy General Wang Shouren of Datong was brave and intelligent. He defeated Bo Yan at the foot of Bai Dengshan to make extraordinary achievements, and was granted Yi Yong Bo and was awarded the title of general. Xu Tai, the general of Datong, led his troops deep into the desert, and was awarded the title of Anbian Bo and was awarded the title of general. Jing Foer, the Qianzheng of Datong, was unparalleled and was invincible. Jianba was a guerrilla general and was granted the title of Pinglu Bo. Zhang Yin, the commander of Taiyuan Guard, was awarded the title of general and was awarded the title of general. "

The ministers were stunned for a moment. When Emperor Hongzhi was there, he treated his ministers the most generous, but he was extremely cautious in rewarding them and refused to give them titles easily. This new emperor was so nice that he regarded the honorary titles as worthless rags, and even a small landlord named Qianzong was even named the Count.

The officials who were beaten to death finally woke up, and were excited for a moment and were trying to argue with reason. Emperor Zhengde beat another big stick: given that the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp lacked combat experience and their combat power was far inferior to those of the border army, he ordered the 12th Regiment of the Beijing camp to take turns to increase combat power. At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the four towns of Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong and Yansui were recruited to enter Beijing, guard the capital, and coached the Beijing army, and commanded the generals of the four towns with General Yang Ling.

After these words, even the military officers were stunned. Recruiting officers and soldiers from four towns into Beijing, and at the same time, the officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp were drawn. This was equivalent to dividing the defense power of the capital in half, half belonging to the 12th Regiment Battalion, and half belonging to the border troops of the four towns. Yang Ling controlled the military power to influence the safety of the capital.

A powerful figure behind the scenes who controls the secret agent of the inner factory and controls the financial power of the Daming Secretary. When he walked to the front of the stage, he actually had such a huge military force. Once he had a strange intention towards the court, who else could control it in the world?

At this moment, even the generals who were optimistic about the emperor's military merits became uneasy. Liu Daxia frowned and became more and more uneasy the more he thought about it. Although he knew that Yang Ling was in power at this time, even if he was the Minister of War and the elders of the four dynasties, he could not shake Yang Ling at all. However, he was very serious and could not remain silent anymore. He must find a way to stop the emperor's absurd behavior. He looked around and touched Han Wen, Ma Wensheng and others, and nodded secretly.

Yang Ling didn't expect that Zhengde was stimulated by the civil officials yesterday. Today he actually used such extreme means. In his opinion, this was a great trust in himself, but he was putting himself on fire. With this power, he could indeed surpass all ministers and become the number one powerful minister below one person and above ten thousand people, but what foundation does he have? He was in a weak position and was at the highest position as a minister, which is definitely a disaster, not a blessing.

Yang Ling knew the temper of the young emperor, so he was very concerned about himself. Such a kind of emphasis on arrangements may have the intention of competing with all officials. At this time, he must not come forward and refuse to resign, which would embarrass him in front of his ministers.

The power of finance, military power, and the power of the internal factory supervision must be given up. If the power is monopolized, it will definitely be suspicious of all officials. Yang Ling's heart is like a windmill. He thinks of how to deal with it. Zhengde seems very satisfied with the scene where his intentions in the Golden Palace suddenly become boiling. It can make these foolish and corrupt officials so panic. Zhengde only feels angry.

He smiled happily and said, "My dear friends, my intention has been decided. The imperial edict has been issued, so please do not say much. The three great scholars, the six ministries and the nine ministers should come up with a charter for the three guards of the Duoyan and the Jurchens as soon as possible. People will not establish a trust, let alone the king among the people? In more than a month, spring will be blooming, and I will trade with the city guards of the Ming Dynasty and Urianha!

He whispered his sleeves and said as if he was demonstrating: "What kind of comments do you have? Come on quickly. My leopard house has been built. I will move to the leopard house soon. When you have this chapter, you can present it directly to the leopard house."

"What? The emperor is going to move out of the palace and move to the leopard house?" A group of old ministers were dizzy by the emperor's shocking and strange ideas one after another.

The original goals were consistent and the civil officials were divided into several factions. Some opposed the excessive rewards, some stated that the Jing camp had the heavy responsibility of protecting the capital, and they could not violate the rules and regulations and prevent exchanges, and some required the emperor not to leave the palace and move to another courtyard, and they would not be able to sing and move to another courtyard. The effect was greatly reduced, and there was no strong morale at all. Emperor Zhengde sat on it and only had to practice Tai Chi. He could easily get rid of the questioning officials.

The grand ceremony in the Golden Palace was like a market. Yang Ling suddenly noticed a smile passing by Liu Jin's lips inadvertently, and his heart was trembling. He suddenly remembered many unreasonable things about today's ceremony.

The little emperor was young and energetic. He made great contributions. After returning to the capital, he was suppressed and slandered by all officials. He was rewarded with great encouragement. With his character, he was able to do so well, but he could do so well. Several things were shaking one by one, distracting the attention of all officials. This scheming was probably not something Zhengde could do.

It was Liu Jin! This thought suddenly flashed through Yang Ling's mind.

Gu Dayong, a few close ministers who could influence the emperor, was flattering himself and waiting to go to Jiangnan to make money. Zhang Yong and Miao Kui were in a similar manner, and they had no chance to do this all the way back. If it were Liu Jin, with his personality, he would help him gain greater power. The tax surveillance is in his own hands, and Liu Jin was still worried. Will he be so selfless?

The tax authority was originally the Silijian District, but now it is in his own hands. The police officers and the factories were originally under the jurisdiction of the Silijian, but their internal factories were unique and directly dealing with the emperor through the Silijian. The 12th Regiment Battalion of the Capital was also in control of the Silijian, and now...

If you want to take it, you must first give it to him. There is no eternal friend in the world. He is a stone in front of Liu Jin. If you don’t move him away, he is always a nameless person. During this period, Liu Jin has gained a firm foothold in the middle of the capital. He is starting to make his own ideas.

Liu Jin looked at the ministers who were in a mess, but most of the dissatisfaction and fear pointed at Yang Ling, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy: That poor scholar was indeed a bit crooked, and this plan was great. Yang Ling followed the emperor to Datong and made great contributions. The emperor would definitely reward him. Now he helped him with his strength, praised him with higher power, and had more offensives. Humph, the court and the inner palace are now dissatisfied with Yang Ling. It seems that the days that have been replaced are not far away.

The dynasty meeting did not come to a conclusion. A group of corrupt scholars quarreled until they were down, so they rushed home. They were preparing to light the lamp and boil oil and wrote a ten thousand words memorial overnight, and they would fight again tomorrow morning. Yang Ling had the decree to pay tribute to the harem, but he was not busy leaving. The six rewarded ministers came to the court and received the reward. Yang Ling changed the black shiny in the night room. Then, under the guidance of the little eunuch, he went straight to the harem.

After walking past Baohe Hall, a military officer smiled and said, "Ah, it turns out to be Lord Yang. The lower-ranking official Bu Xingwu congratulates Lord Yang on his promotion and promotion."

Yang Ling looked up and saw that this man was a military officer from the Jinyiwei in the palace. He was wearing a parrot green official robe, red trousers and soap boots, and his face was slimming with protruding cheekbones. His pair of lying silkworms had bright eyes under his eyebrows. He looked at the official robe as a fourth-rank Jinyi Chief Commander.

Yang Ling was promoted to General Longhu, the second-rank general, so the man bowed down according to the official courtesy and was very respectful. Yang Ling hurriedly stepped forward two steps, raised his hand and helped him, and smiled and said, "Please get up, please meet in the palace, don't be too polite."

The green-robed military officer stood up and said with a humble smile: "The Jinyiwei has always been respectful to the Lord, and is proud that the Jinyiwei can produce such outstanding talents as the Lord. When he sees the Lord, how dare the lower-ranking officials not worship him?"

Yang Ling's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the military officer carefully. Seeing that he looked a little excited and indignant, his eyes were filled with hope and hope. Yang Ling suddenly realized in his heart that it seemed that the Jinyiwei had been suppressed by Liu Jin these days, and it really aroused the Jinyiwei's desire to unite with the enemy.

He smiled and said, "How dare, how dare, Yang was able to improve himself because of the Jinyiwei and had achieved success today. Although he has established his own business now, Yang still regards Jinyiwei as the Jinyiwei. Lord Mou has always been good?"

When Bu Xingwu heard what he said, he seemed to be relieved and replied happily: "Mr. Mou is in good condition. Lord Yang travels west to Datong, Lord Mou has always cared about you."

Yang Ling smiled faintly and said, "I just returned to Beijing yesterday. Yang was concerned about his family and had not met his old friends yet. When I left the palace, I will go back to Hui Brother Mou first."

A surprise flashed in Bu Xingwu's eyes, and he hurriedly bowed: "Yes, yes, sir, I'm busy with official duties, so I won't bother you, please."

Yang Ling bowed, and the two of them touched tacitly, then crossed by him and went straight to the harem. Today, the third queen summoned him, and he must be scolded. Yang Ling was originally a little worried, but later, he put aside the identity of the empress and thought about the identity of Grandma Zhengde, mother and wife. Yang Ling figured out their thoughts.

With his ability to persuade people to take insurance, he had already come up with a solution to it, but there was nothing to worry about. Today, Zhengde was granted a title of marquis and an official position. He had doubts about Liu Jin and had no time to consider these issues.

The Eight Tigers around Zhengde were originally without great ambitions, but people's greed would change as their status increased. Yang Ling never regarded them as monsters or monsters or as treacherous people who thought about harming others all day long, but he did not overestimate their qualities and virtues.

The officials in the court have been morally essaying all day long. How many people can avoid the common people and suppress the stumbling blocks that are in front of their careers? That is, the loyal and upright ministers like Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Han Wen, who always report to Jiao Fang, who hopes to show up, has spared no effort to suppress them? Not to mention Liu Jin, who is not very good in his private morality.

Yang Ling originally wanted to use the huge benefits of opening up the maritime ban to attract Liu Jin, and temporarily suppressed potential conflicts between them. Unfortunately... Liu Jin, as an internal minister, was obviously unwilling to serve him, especially his power was mostly separated from the Silijian, which laid the line of front and bottom line for the two to fight openly and secretly sooner or later. Now... he can't wait.

When Yang Ling thought of this, he couldn't help but sighed with great worries: Standing at the peak of power, if you are not careful, you will be at risk of being dismissed. If someone attacks him openly and secretly, the harm is far better than the enemy who is openly and fiercely. But dealing with Liu Jin is not that simple. Since the emperor who is blocking the middle is his protective umbrella, isn't it Liu Jin's protective umbrella?

Especially now, if in the eyes of a group of officials who believed in loyal ministers, they were just a slander who led the emperor to play, they now have a disgusted power and treacherous in their hearts. To deal with Liu Jin and to do the big things they really want to do, they must retreat from the storm and not be entangled in the power struggle, but is it true? What should I do and how to dispel the suspicion of all officials?

Yang Ling frowned slightly, walked slowly with his hands on his back. Suddenly someone in front of him laughed: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t

Yang Ling looked up and saw two beautiful girls in snow-white silk clothes standing in front of him with a smile. The snow-white arrow sleeves were soft and narrow, and the body was spotless. However, the pretty faces of the people in the clothes were as clear as snow, and they were even more clear and out of the dust.

The two girls are tall and short, tall and graceful, slender waist, round chest, short petite and delicate, a melon-shaped face that is suitable for joy and anger, and has a seven-point tender and pure heart. Both of them gently hold their soft hair, which makes the neck look smooth and soft and the neck is fine and soft.

Yang Ling was shocked, quickly took a few steps forward, bent down and bowed and said, "My memory, Yang Ling, have seen His Highness the eldest princess, His Highness Yongchun!"

Princess Yongfu and him had disappeared for many days. The girl's hazy longing in her heart became a little less depressed. When she saw him, she became more kind and free and easy. She chuckled and said: "Congratulations to Lord Yang for his promotion to Marquis."

Princess Yongchun interrupted with a smile: "But this newly promoted marquis will be tried by the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager were in a mess."

Seeing that the beautiful and beautiful sisters had tight cuffs and tight trousers, Yang Ling saw that the graceful and moving curves of their calves were exposed. She thought that they were not wearing palace clothes, so they must have just made some game.

Sure enough, Princess Yongchun smiled and said, "I am just in Cuju with my sister, and I came to protect you. How do you thank us?"

Yang Ling didn't expect that Emperor Zhengde blew up the imperial edict yesterday. The so-called protection for him was to send two sisters to help. This was really a shameless word and was not a good deal. The three tigresses got angry. What could this little girl help?

He asked a little ridiculously: "I thank you for the two princesses for their help. I wonder how the little princesses will thank you?"

Yongchun clapped his hands and smiled, "This is simple. I heard that the emperor is going to move to the leopard room. There are too many lions and tigers there. The emperor never takes us out for fun. If you can persuade the emperor to let us go out for a trip, it would be a thank you."

Yang Ling immediately wanted to shake his head. Isn’t this a joke? The ladies of ordinary wealthy families still don’t go out of the door and take the princess out of the palace? Then all the officials...
