When a red sun rose from the east, the imperial guards pushed the winch, making a clicking sound, and the heavy vermilion Meridian Gate slowly opened.
Ever since.
The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty immediately cheered up, formed groups, formed gangs, and even rushed into the Forbidden City impatiently.
After another moment.
By the Jinshui Bridge.
In the hot summer, the sun, which had been very fierce since early morning, shone on the gorgeous golden dragon chair, but the dragon chair was empty.
The emperor didn't come today.
The emperor is not here...
The adults are naturally more excited!
As a result, the civil-military dispute quickly heated up amid the flying of spittle. After the formal ceremony was completed, there was a loud noise filled with righteous indignation.
"I have my own notes!"
"I impeach Chen Xuan, the commander-in-chief of Tongzhou Water Transport, and twenty-eight people below the deputy commander-in-chief Wang Chengxun for neglecting their duties, taking bribes and perverting the law...shameless!"
"Old minister, please abolish the Water Transportation General Army Office!"
See the poor dagger in the picture.
In the midst of this murderous rage, the warriors who suffered from their stupid mouths were all blushing and trying to protect their own people, but...
But he was quickly defeated by the crazy criticism from civil servants.
The martial artists are frustrated!
His voice is not comparable, his literary talent is not as good as others, and he cannot explain his principles. It seems that with the tacit approval of the cabinet, it is a foregone conclusion that the Water Transport General Military Office established in the Yongle Dynasty will be abolished.
The first one.
Seeing those stupid Wu Xuns all speechless, Queen Mother Li, who was sitting in the royal chariot, frowned with her beautiful eyebrows.
She feels...
It’s really ugly for civil servants to look like each other!
Does this mean that you don’t even have the dignity of a scholar?
After listening to politics behind the curtain for a long time, Empress Dowager Li was naturally somewhat aware of the civil-military dispute, and she instinctively sensed something amiss in her heart.
If the General Water Transport Yamen is really eliminated, not to mention that from today on, there will be only one General Water Transport Yamen left, and no one will be able to control it...
Couldn’t this become the paradise of the dirty officials in the world?
Moreover.
If the Water Transportation General Soldiers' Yamen is laid off, and both the Chief Soldier and the Deputy Chief Soldier are gone, how will the yamen handle so many soldiers and horses under its command?
Under the rule of the Water Transport General Military Office established under the order of Emperor Yongle, naturally most of them were water transport soldiers. Adding in the soldiers from various guard posts along the way, how many people were there in total?
One hundred twenty thousand!
A total of 120,000 soldiers were laid off in one go.
No livelihood...
Sooner or later there will be a big mess!
Empress Dowager Li felt something was inappropriate, and her plump red lips trembled slightly for a few times, but she finally held back. She, a womanly woman, could not speak to these eloquent censors.
The beautiful Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty felt tired and sighed weakly.
"Why."
By the Jinshui Bridge.
The din filled the sky.
Beside the royal chariot.
Feng Bao's eyes were lowered like an old monk in trance, but there was an imperceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth. He knew much more than Queen Mother Li.
The court meeting had been so noisy for two consecutive days. Why did the adults at Yushitai, who were well-read in poetry and literature, take the opportunity to launch an attack and madly attack the Water Transportation General Military Office?
They even spitted and cursed at the warriors, so much so that they even ignored the dignity of scholars and almost took off their official robes and went into battle shirtless!
Why?
There is naturally something fishy going on here.
If the General Office of Water Transport is really abolished and the civil servants take over the power, it will connect the south of the Yangtze River, the capital and Beizhili, Jiubian, and further north to Mongolia and Liaodong on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
Smuggling will become rampant.
Feng Bao sneered in his heart. These adults in Yushitai talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but in fact they are all about business.
Salt and iron tea horses from Jiangnan, porcelain and silk, grain, oil and cotton from Shandong, wool horses from the grassland, ginseng and deer antler leather from Liaodong...
Which business is not allowed to use the canal?
The huge chain of interests involved, the incalculable huge wealth, and the huge profits made Feng Bao, the chief executive of the inner court, shudder.
Feng Bao looked at Zhang Juzheng. At this time, Zhang Juzheng also looked like a clay Bodhisattva.
Say nothing.
Feng Bao also sighed deeply. He knew that in this situation where the civil service group was attacking the military heroes, Zhang Juzheng, as the head of the civil service, had no choice.
He could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
same time.
Tongzhou.
Water Transport General Army Yamen.
The official hall was crowded with people.
At this time, Chen Xuan, the commander-in-chief of water transportation, has been recalled to the capital to accept the questions from the adults. It must be that the situation of the commander-in-chief is not good now.
Now only the deputy commander-in-chief Wang Chengxun and a group of subordinate officers were left in the yamen, and a large group of people gathered together to discuss and murmur.
No one could hide the anxious look on their faces.
Amidst the noise.
Wang Chengxun, deputy commander of water transportation, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and sighed with a grimace.
a long time.
Wang Chengxun couldn't help but call an official and asked in a low voice: "Has the Qingqi sent to Beijing to deliver the message come back?"
The subordinate officer shook his head.
Wang Chengxun's face suddenly wrinkled into a bitter melon, and he guessed that the urgent report he had ordered to be sent to the capital had been suppressed.
now……
We can only leave it to fate.
"It's chaos, it's chaos!"
Deputy Commander Wang cursed angrily.
Only Li Rusong, the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion from Beijing, still had a nonchalant look on his face and was leisurely trimming his nails with a knife.
Of course Li Rusong is not in a hurry.
He has both merit and demerit.
In this great turmoil, no matter which party wins the fight, in the end they will have to do business with the Li family of Liaodong. The old mountain ginseng from Liaodong has never been worried about selling.
Products from Liaodong are very popular in the customs!
In chaos.
Another day has passed.
Tianjin Zuowei.
Sunrise and sunset.
The faint sound of war horses neighing could be heard from outside the dilapidated official hall. Shen Lie, who was closing his eyes to recuperate, opened his eyes alertly, as if he had noticed something.
He jumped out of the door with a quick step.
Look around.
I saw a bloody army led by a dozen cavalrymen meandering along the mountain road. In the long march, a long string of prisoners tied with ropes could be vaguely seen.
"Ha ha!"
Behind him came veteran Bai Guangen's loud laughter: "It's done!"
Bai Zhenzhen also ran over quickly, Guazi's face showed a proud look, and at this moment, her eyes were bright.
Shen Lie was slightly stunned at the same time.
Immediately, my heart became awe-inspiring.
I was shocked by the strength of this Tianjin left-back.
This fighting ability is good!
He rode on more than a thousand men and horses, marched fifty miles in just one day, wiped out the bandits, and then quietly returned to the original route.
The strength of this Tianjin left-back cannot be underestimated!
Looking at the team of more than a thousand people with high morale.
Shen Lie praised: "Good soldier!"
It can be seen that the guardsmen in the early years of Wanli were not bad at all. After all, this was also the old foundation left by the two immediate emperors Taizu and Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.
"good!"
Bai Guangen and his daughter also heaved a sigh of relief and hurried out to welcome the soldiers who had returned from victory into the guard.
Then discussed the next plan with Shen Lie.
"This matter must be watertight!"
Shen Lie warned with a solemn face that even he, a thousand households in Dongchang, would have to pay for such a big matter if any detail was omitted!
