Three more people were moved into the staff dormitory of the Hanlin Academy. One was named Xu Chengming, who was from Liaocheng, Shandong; another was named Zhang Bi, who was from Shishou, Huguang; and the other was named Zhanchao, who was from Neijiang, Sichuan. They were all selected by the Institute of Science and Technology.
scholar.
Together with Wang Yuan and Yu Ben, this small courtyard house is full.
Putting aside the butterfly effect, Wang Yuan's three new roommates, historically, one was promoted to the Minister of Rites, one was promoted to the Minister of Rites (Pavilion Minister), and one died of illness while serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. They are actually Tanhua Yuben
, had the highest starting point, had the worst success, and was inexplicably thrown into working in the education system.
Yu Ben was very happy today. Wang Yuan asked him why and replied: "Your Majesty asked the Hanlin Academy to clean up the military attachés who were guilty of corruption. I was called by the bachelors to help."
The three new roommates all cast envious looks. Although they were selected as Shujishi, they still need to study for three years. During these three years, they can do whatever the teacher asks them to do. Basically, there will be no important work.
It’s about a master’s degree student who does odd jobs for his tutor.
The errand that Yu Ben received was very important, and the "posting of yellow" was the appendix of the memorial. The emperor asked the Hanlin Academy to clean up the military attachés who had posted yellow, probably because he wanted to rectify the military. After all, the rebels were becoming more and more arrogant.
"Congratulations to Brother Zihua." Wang Yuan is still reading "Zuo Zhuan" and has reached the "Sixth Year of Zhuang Gong". He found that this thing is quite interesting and can be read as a story book. It is much easier than studying the Four Books and Five Classics.
The five of them left the dormitory together and ate some breakfast to fill their stomachs on the nearby street.
I don’t dare to eat too much because there is a working meal in the middle of the morning and a working meal in the middle of the afternoon. Meal time is very inhumane.
Just after finishing breakfast, I saw a reward list posted by the imperial court: "Anyone who can capture and kill Liu Liu, Liu Qi, Qi Yanming, Yang Hu, Li Long, and Zhu Qianhu, the leader of thieves, will be rewarded by the military and civilians."
A hereditary official of one thousand households will receive a reward of one thousand taels of silver. A civil and military official will be promoted to three levels, and a military official will be hereditary. If a civil official is removed from office, his descendants will be hereditary to a hundred households. If the thieves are captured and beheaded by the party, they will be exempted from their original crime. If the leader of the thieves is captured and beheaded by himself,
He will also be exempted from the crime. And those who order the coerced person to surrender and extricate themselves will be exempted from the crime."
The moment Wang Yuan saw the announcement, he suddenly felt the urge to go into battle and kill the enemy.
He can be directly promoted to the third level of officialdom, and if he no longer serves as an official, his son can be hereditary for hundreds of households.
"Hey, when will the thieves be eliminated?" Yu Ben looked at the list and sighed.
Zhang Bi said: "The ministers in the cabinet have their own sense of proportion, and there is nothing to fear from some thieves."
"It is better to put down the rebellion quickly, otherwise the harm will become more severe." Xu Chengming was very worried. He was from Liaocheng, Shandong, and the rebels had just visited his hometown.
The five people were chatting and heading to the Hanlin Academy. Suddenly, a horse rode out of the imperial city and bumped into them on Chang'an Avenue: "Your Majesty has an order. Wang Hanlin, please enter the palace quickly!"
Seeing Wang Yuan walk into Chengtian Gate with ease, the other four people were extremely envious.
Originally compiled by the Hanlin Academy, he started out as a sixth-rank scholar, and he is still in the emperor's heart. He will probably become a pavilion elder in the future.
Wang Yuan was very puzzled. The emperor had not seen him for more than two months, so why did he suddenly come to the Hanlin Academy to summon him?
…
Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing, Wang Chang, Sun Jiao and other important ministers had been waiting in the Leopard Room for a long time.
Li Dongyang did not come today. He suffered from frequent anal fistula attacks and left all specific matters to Yang Tinghe.
Faced with such a noble move of delegating power, Yang Tinghe was so moved that he wanted to scold his mother - Li Dongyang was not delegating power, it was just a matter of passing the blame!
There are rebels all over the country, and the Ministry of Household Affairs is so poor that if the front line is defeated, the real officials will be impeached.
The officials were particularly enthusiastic, not only impeaching military affairs, but also biting Jin Gui.
Four months have passed since the imperial examination fraud case, and officials have been impeaching him every day. Just last month, Jin Gui lost control of the Hanlin Academy, and Mao Ji, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, was also in charge of the Hanlin Academy.
In other words, Wang Yuan's top department leader became Mao Ji.
Wang Yuan was brought into the Leopard Room and immediately saw the group of big guys. He was a little dazed and then calmly saluted them.
When the big guys saw Wang Yuan, they all frowned. They were going to talk about military affairs today. What the hell did they do to invite Wang Yuan?
"Everyone is here?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly walked in, followed by eunuchs Zhang Yong and Zhang Zhong.
All the ministers saluted one after another.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Wang Yuan and said: "You must have received the news that the rebels are approaching Bazhou again, only two or three hundred miles away from the capital. I have sent so many officers and soldiers to quell the rebellion. What will the peace look like now?"
"I am guilty!"
The ministers who just bent down to salute were now kneeling on the ground.
Wang Yuan looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose. He stood aside without squinting, as if he was nothing but air.
At this time, the rebel army had dispersed into several groups. Liu Liu and Liu Qi were circulating in Shandong and Henan, and their partial divisions even reached Huguang and Nanzhili. The officers and soldiers were exhausted from suppressing the bandits and worried about the safety of Nanzhili, so they all gathered in the Xuzhou area.
As a result, Liu Liu and Liu Qi suddenly made a comeback, and their main force once again ravaged Shandong. Before the officers and soldiers could come back, these guys went straight to the capital, and seemed to want to have an outing outside Beijing.
Yang Hu was even more confused. They were obviously rebels from Shandong, but by beating them up, they turned half of Shanxi into chaos.
Now, the two groups of rebels are all fighting back to the capital, obviously planning to join forces in North Zhili. However, the officers and soldiers pursuing them have been thrown hundreds of miles away, and they don't know when they will arrive.
Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he slammed the table: "I don't want to punish you. I want to punish those who rebelled against the thieves. Stand up! Tell me, how can this mess be settled?"
Wang Chang, Secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up and said: "The top priority is to ensure the safety of the capital. Most of the twelve capital camps have been mobilized to suppress the rebellion. Now there are only some old soldiers left. They must start training immediately to prevent the rebels from approaching the city and the capital camp not defending the city.
Power."
The cabinet ministers had obviously discussed it in advance, and Yang Tinghe suggested at this moment: "We can ask the governor who is living in the rear mansion to sit in the camp with Zhi Baiyu and train the old soldiers."
Wang Yuan was inexplicably shocked when he heard that the capital was actually in such danger that the old, weak, sick and disabled had to be trained to defend the city.
Zhu Houzhao was very dissatisfied: "Then what? I don't want to defend the city, I really want you to conquer the rebels!"
Eunuch Zhang Zhong suddenly said: "The method proposed last time is to mobilize the border troops to come to the capital to fight against the thieves."
A group of civil servants wanted to object, but they did not dare to object. What if the rebels really captured the capital?
Because Yang Hu had made trouble in Shanxi before, the Shanxi frontier army had been chasing him. However, they did not dare to pursue him until they reached Guangchang County. If they pursued him again, they would enter Beizhili. At this moment, the Shanxi frontier army was parked there and was waiting for instructions.
With the permission of the imperial court, they could immediately march in with other officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the rebels. The three guards of Xuanfu were also in the border area and could quickly reach the capital along the official road.
"That's it, let the Shanxi frontier troops come over immediately to quell the chaos!" Zhu Houzhao said.
The civil servants looked at each other.
Zhu Houzhao asked again: "Who is the Shanxi general responsible for chasing Yang Hu?"
Wang Chang replied: "Yang Xin, the right guard of Xuanfu."
"Just one hundred households?"
Zhu Houzhao thought there was something wrong with his ears and said in disbelief: "Give him a promotion and let him take charge of the officers and soldiers of the guard station near Yuzhou."
Wang Chang thought for a while and said, "You can be promoted to the director of the department."
Yang Yiqing reminded: "Shanxi's military strength is empty, and we must prevent the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan from entering the invaders."
Zhu Houzhao said: "Let them step up their training!"
Several ministers discussed it and asked eunuch Zhang Zhong for his opinion. The final result was an immediate order: Wanquan Department Headquarters commanded his colleague Chen Xun, and Shanxi Xingdu Department Headquarters commanded Jiang Yi, to jointly train the sergeants of the guard station to prepare for the possibility.
The coming border trouble.
Eunuch Zhang Yong said: "The three guards of Xuanfu are closest to the capital. They can be deployed to defend the city."
"Keep your guard up!"
The civil servants originally wanted to say "no", but before they could speak, Zhu Houzhao responded to Zhang Yong: "Strictly order all the officers and soldiers on the road not to enter the capital without orders. Let me kill the rebels on the way! Even if the thieves come to the city, I will
I personally lead hundreds of civil and military officials to defend the city, and they must kill the thieves for me outside the city!"
Yang Tinghe and other civil servants immediately shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhu Houzhao suddenly shouted: "Wang Yuan!"
Wang Yuan saluted unhurriedly: "I am here."
"Do you dare to charge into the battle?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Dare you."
Zhu Houzhao said: "I have two hundred cavalry in the Leopard Room. They have been training all year round and are the best in the world. Take them all out for me and bring back the heads of Liu Liu and Liu Qi!"
Wang Yuan accepted the order and said: "I obey the order."
Yang Tinghe suddenly reminded: "Your Majesty, Wang Hanlin is a civil servant."
Zhu Houzhao said to Yang Yiqing: "Assign him a position."
Yang Yiqing thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any suitable position.
Zhu Houzhao had no time to wait and said directly: "Give him a temporary position of supervisory censor, patrolling Baoding, Hejian, Bazhou and Zhuozhou!"
Okay, you are the emperor, you can say whatever you want.
Zhu Houzhao must have been really angry. Even if the rebels came once, they actually came twice. He came and left when he wanted. Did he really treat the capital as a public toilet?
Zhu Houzhao said to Wang Yuan: "Bring on the majesty you used to chase the enemy alone on horseback last time. I will give you two hundred elite cavalry. This time I will kill you fiercely!"
