eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 538 Rebel!

The deadline for the imperial court to take back the invaded military settlements is approaching, there should always be a choice between compromise and non-compromise.

General Jiang Han didn't have to think about it. Although he felt sorry for the wealth he had acquired, he was in a high position and could see clearly that Emperor Zhengde's power was stable, and it would be unwise to insist on resisting.

The most important thing is that he himself also retreated. Firstly, unlike He Jinyi, who invaded as many military settlements as [-] hectares, secondly, both he and Yang Ying had meritorious service in battles in the past, which is why he was promoted step by step by the emperor. He only made small mistakes. not to die.

Cleaning up the military base itself is not killing from top to bottom, so don't worry too much about losing your life.

This is different from the current atmosphere in the city, but it is difficult for him to explain one by one, and no one will believe him. Even if others are willing to believe him, he will not be able to protect himself, and it will be difficult for him to guarantee others.

He is like this, so many generals and some soldiers of other guards do not have such a big room for concession. Wealth is a very complicated concept. Some people seem to have land, but in fact they may still be in debt, relying on these fields to suffer maintain.

Here is a case of each family, each family is not the same.

Now the imperial court has made a one-size-fits-all order to return all of them. It is true that the normal life of some people will be affected.

Many people were very dissatisfied. When they got together, they originally scolded the imperial envoys in private. As the date approached, this kind of dissatisfaction and insults became public.

This kind of emotion was easier for Sun Jingwen and Meng Bin to take advantage of. For more than ten days, they ran around, secretly persuading, many people were already burning with anger, and they didn't know how to vent it.

Now it's all right, the entire Ningxia Wei was agitated like a powder keg.

On August [-]th, King Anhua suddenly held a banquet in the palace for his birthday, and sent invitations to officials of all sizes in Ningxia.

He is very sensitive this day,

But no matter how imaginative Jiang Han, Yang Ying and others were, they could never have imagined that what they were encountering was such a major event as treason.

King Anhua lived in Ningxia for a long time, so he had to give face to his invitation.

Besides, many people actually feel in their hearts that September [-]st is coming, and there is no way to decide what to do with the biggest event in Ningxia right now. of.

Jiang Han, Yang Ying, Li Zeng and other prominent figures can't be found no matter how hard they are usually searched for. Tonight they will 'can't escape'.

That evening, the entire palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons, the ground was covered with flowers, officials rode in palanquins, military generals rode horses, the gates were crowded, and guests filed in. It was really a lively scene.

"Eunuch Li, the guarding eunuch, brought four brocade boxes and one century-old ginseng!"

"congratulations!"

"Please, Mr. Li, please!"

In the palace,
Sun Jingwen walked around the long corridor of the palace, opened the door and entered a room, and said respectfully: "My lord, we have never arrived at that imperial envoy."

"Have you delivered the invitation?" King Anhua opened his arms, allowing the people in the mansion to change his clothes for him.

"Handed it over, and sent someone to deliver it to Guyuan Mansion."

"Handed it?" He was a little silent. In fact, Zhang Cong was looking forward to coming, just to avenge the offense that day.But if people don't come, there seems to be no good way at the moment.

It's just... this resentment has deepened...

King Anhua suddenly felt ashamed, and said angrily: "This king's banquet, but he didn't come! No one is here, and this king will kill him in the future!"

Sun Jingwen squinted his eyes and smiled at the side, "My lord, this subordinate thinks he has no guts to come. He set a deadline for everyone in a decent way, but he doesn't know that there are many people who are dissatisfied with him. No one knows how many people want to get rid of them quickly, since he knows this, how dare he do it?"

For this reason, the logic makes sense.

The palace has also hosted banquets in previous years, but this time it was the largest, and many people came for 'that event'.

But tonight was planning a big event, and the imperial envoy didn't come for no reason, and King Anhua felt a little uneasy.

"Outside, is everything alright?"

"If you go back to the prince, everything is arranged according to the plan. Just wait for the prince's order tonight."

"Okay!" With this answer, King Anhua felt more at ease, and at the same time he did not forget to sneer and mock, "It turns out that he is also a coward!"

Not long after, a servant came in from outside, "My lord, Mr. Jiang and Eunuch Li are here."

"understood."

……

……

Tonight's high-ranking officials in the royal palace are walking all over the place, which is really full of guests and friends.

The courtesies between the guest and the host are as boring as prescribed actions, and there is nothing to say.When the auspicious time came, they took their seats. King Anhua walked out from the side room, and said in public with a bit of high spirits: "Today is the 34th birthday of my king. I am very grateful to all of you for coming to congratulate me. My king and everyone here Most of the people are old friends who have known each other for a long time, so I won’t say much else, everyone who comes is just a guest, everyone, have a good meal today!”

Eat and have fun...

A black line fell down Jiang Han's face.

This vassal king is really ignorant, such a welcome speech gave him the feeling of a small merchant in the countryside.

"Living together in Ningxia City, there may have been friendships or disputes between Anhua Palace and everyone in the past, no matter what, from now on, everyone who comes today is my friend of Anhua Palace!"

He stretched out his arms, and there was a bit of taste in his posture.

That's the wording...

Meng Bin was busy recently and didn't pay attention to it. At this time, he complained to Sun Jingwen and said, "Why don't you write a paragraph for the prince?"

"...Who said it was not written? It has already been written and handed over to the prince."

wrote?

Can't memorize it... Sigh.

"Ahem." Meng Bin was a little embarrassed, "Brother Sun was wrong."

"It's okay."

In fact, Sun Jingwen also felt embarrassed. Didn't this immediately make people see that he had no ink in his chest?

Fortunately, the visitors also expected too much of a vassal's cultural level, and no one cared about it.

When the banquet really started, it naturally began to toast, toast and exchange glasses.

Only halfway through, there was another "self-directed and self-acted" in the palace like that day.

Jiang Han, the general himself, can also predict it.

King Anhua said to Jiang Han: "Jiang Zongbing, the deadline for September [-]st the day after tomorrow is coming. This time, the imperial court wants all the officers and soldiers in Ningxia town to return to the army. There has been a lot of trouble for more than a month. This king sees Many people are even crying. Jiang Zongbing, how should we deal with this matter?"

The two rows of the banquet were all Ningxia's main officials. In fact, whoever had the heart to eat this wine all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Jiang Han said with a blank expression: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. This is an imperial decree. As a minister, what else can we do except obey the decree?"

"Okay! President Jiang is indeed loyal. What about Eunuch Li, does Eunuch Li also plan to do the same?"

"Yes, the word from the palace has been delivered long ago. The emperor sent our family to Ningxia, and our family has to take good care of this place for the emperor."

Both the chief soldier and the guarding eunuch said this, and the people sitting at the banquet began to feel a commotion.

"Give the land away, and my whole family will have to borrow money to survive!"

"I'm miserable. I lost money betting on Pai Gow last month. I originally wanted to rely on the land to mortgage some money to make a comeback. Not only is there no hope of making a comeback, but I don't know what to do with the debt I owe!"

……

The sound of Xixisuo continued.

The anger of the crowd seemed to be visible to the naked eye.

At this time, all the pretentiousness is no longer needed. Now that you have made up your mind, you can't back down at the critical moment.

"Jiang Zongbing and Eunuch Li are both willing to quit the field, but..." King Anhua stood up, "I don't want to quit!"

boom! !

He threw an exquisite white porcelain cup to the ground.

It was the classic throwing cup as a sign, and in an instant, hundreds of elite soldiers in armor rushed out. They circled behind everyone from both sides of the banquet hall. Hold it down.

At the same time, a group of people appeared outside the palace. Qianhu Zhou Ang led the generals and drove all the guards brought by the officials into the courtyard to squat down.

The situation took a turn for the worse in an instant.

Yang Ying, the deputy commander in chief, was impatient. He felt that something was wrong, so he got up and asked, "King Anhua, are you going to do something wrong?!"

"Something wrong?" King Anhua went to the crowd below, and said impassionedly: "All the soldiers have resisted the Tatars and made great achievements in battle! The year before last, in the battle of Huamachi, how many people died in Ningxia Town? Brothers, you all know it well! Now that the Tatars have been beaten away, the imperial court began to cross the river and tear down the bridges, turning their faces and refusing to recognize anyone!

Cleaning up the military settlements on the surface is actually costing our lives!Today's people are cruel and merciless, with Zhejiang and Fujian as far away as Beizhili and Huai'an Mansions as close as they are, which place doesn't kill a lot of people? !Who would spare him if he gave up his fortune?And now, it's Ningxia's turn! "

It's Ningxia's turn! !

This sentence was shouted the most vigorously, and its voice floated back and forth in the hall, hitting people's hearts directly!
"What this king is doing today is to do justice for the heavens and to demonstrate the orthodoxy of the court. The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world, which has been the truth since ancient times. This king swears here that after this is done, everyone can enjoy the glory and wealth! Jiang Han, Li Zeng, Yang Ying, I advise you to return as soon as possible, lest you lose your life here!"

Jiang Han's scalp jumped in shock. How could such a thing happen, forcing everyone to express their opinions at the banquet? !

Li Zeng, the guarding eunuch at the side, was even more frightened and furious, "Hey! You, a rebellious minister and traitor, dare to deceive the people with lies and rebel! Who knows that as soon as the imperial army arrives, you will be crushed immediately! The emperor is the son of the first emperor, the royal family Orthodoxy, how can you, a small king of the side branch, be able to compare?!"

The old eunuch was so angry that he slammed King Anhua and slapped the table again, glaring at everyone, "Our family will take a good look at you today! Write down every face of yours and see who has no conscience Your Majesty is very gracious, and we must follow this rebellious king to do rebellious deeds! In the future, when the Imperial Heavenly Army arrives, our family will report to the Emperor one by one, and we will punish the rebellious traitors of the nine clans, and we will never stand up for generations!!"

After scolding this, Li Zeng gasped for breath, and at the same time looked directly at King Anhua, without any fear!
