A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 589 Reaction
The past few days have been lively and interesting for the people in the capital, and all kinds of rumors and gossips have made them deeply addicted. Perhaps, the gossip heard in these few short days is more intense than usual for decades. Get up even more.

Gossip has been going on for a long time, and there is also aesthetic fatigue. There are too many rumors and versions, and there is nothing new to come out of it over and over again.

Therefore, the fun in the market mainly turns to collecting various small post albums, such as Dorgon's prostitute, the barbarian woman Zhezhe's counterattack against the slave chief Duoduo, and the false Huhuang brothers having fun with the former false prince Badger's wives and concubines. , etc., the people love to hear and see the elegant enjoyment.

The main reason is that these beautiful picture albums are exquisitely printed, rich in variety and variety, and people can't put it down. The trend of fashion collection they set off greatly exceeds the sensation caused by Jin Ping Mei back then.

Even some people with unique tastes vigorously collected the picture albums of Zhou Shixian, the prospective son-in-law, who fought with all the little princes. For a while, the capital was up and down, and the rain was falling, and his moral standards plummeted for more than a hundred years, making all the moral gentlemen beat their chests and groan .

Some rumor makers were also dumbfounded, feeling confused.

Just when the public was tired of aesthetics and most of them shifted their attention to the target, early in the morning, like a sound of spring thunder, the capital, which was about to cool down, boiled up again.

It is impossible to test whether the news came from the palace or from the six departments. This news is too amazing!
Countless good-for-nothings declared excitedly that when they saw the high-ranking officials of various ministries on Qipan Street and were hastily called into the deep palace last night, they knew that the matter was not simple. Sure enough, the facts proved their foresight.

With their loud murmurs and countless excited crowds spreading the news, the whole city soon became known to the world, and the teahouses and restaurants that had cooled down in the streets were full again.

The news was that Uncle Zhongyong was angry with the rumors, and he vomited blood in his heart. He resolutely ordered the army to turn to Changping. He didn't want to reach the capital, which is a sad place.

Zhongzhen Bo Yang Guozhu, worried about state affairs, could not bear to see the loss of a general in the court, he braved the wind and snow to see and persuade him to stay, his sincerity of words, loyalty and loyalty moved the Lord, and he stopped snowing for half an hour.

General Wang Pu, Fu Yingchong, Wu Sangui and others also sincerely wanted to stay. Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, was wounded and worried, and even coughed up blood for half a fight. , Went straight to the capital, met with the emperor, and offered advice.

They also vividly described how the [-] frontier soldiers clamored angrily, and how they shouted at injustice, and vividly explained their grief and indignation. Watching their performances is creepy.

I feel that the generals are sincere, and my loyal and brave uncle has suspended the idea of ​​being a teacher, and only played jointly with the generals. I hope that the emperor, the emperor, and the princes in the court will thoroughly investigate the rumors, punish the rumor makers, and restore the innocence of the loyal soldiers. I can't bear to die for the country. .

This news was too shocking. After a brief silence, countless troublemakers rushed out of the capital and rushed to watch excitedly. This time, the army of teachers mainly gathered near Zhangjiawan. , return the first-hand progress information.

But within the capital, the din of quarrels seemed to pierce the wind and snow in the sky, and they all wanted to stay away from this ancient city.

It can be seen from the various shops and restaurants and teahouses that after the news came, the King King faction once again gained the upper hand.

They shouted loudly that they must not be caught by the thieves' rumors and treacherous schemes, catching wind and shadows, and framing Zhongliang. The Jingbian army has been loyal to the country since the beginning of the war. How could it be possible for some officials to chill the hearts of loyal and brave soldiers?
The tens of thousands of frontier troops in front of us are arguing against each other, which proves this point!
Many of them also gathered on Qipan Street, shouting excitedly to the officials of various ministries on and off work, expressing their indignation just like Uncle Zhongyong.

In contrast, the arrogance of the king demoting faction has been greatly weakened. In particular, many censors have calmed down and deeply felt that a storm is coming. Especially today, the Holy Admiral held three court meetings unprecedentedly, which proved this point.

Of course, there are also many king demoting factions who die hard to the end. They shout loudly, Uncle Zhongyong, no, king thief, this is Sima Zhao's heart. It is obvious that he is blatantly blackmailing the court and His Majesty the Holy King. Take a look, Wang! The thief is so unruly and domineering, he really has no king, no father, no king!

He coerced the frontier army and made an act of blatant coercion. This is a death sentence. Everyone half-believed the rumors before, but now they really believe it.

The two sides are vying for each other, ninety-nine out of ten are big fights, often from upstairs to downstairs, and then into the street, the two sides chase, cross the streets and alleys, it is a mess, and the five city soldiers and horses who maintain law and order are patrolling The soldiers complained endlessly.

Of course, because the number of the king-delegating faction has decreased a lot, the king-supporting faction has a large number of people, and not only has the upper hand in speech, but also often beats the king-degrading faction full of sacks.

However, no matter whether the faction that demotes the king or the faction that supports the king, everyone knows that there is a debate in the public, and it mainly depends on the meaning of the court. Therefore, the two factions also have people in the middle, and the chessboard street is crowded. Every time an official comes out, there will be a crowd On the other hand, inquire about the progress of things.

Facing the public, all the officials have different expressions, some are anxious, some are high-spirited, some have a dead face, some are inscrutable, some... But without exception, they all have expressions that have nothing to say.

The more this is the case, the more itchy everyone feels. Whenever someone mysteriously reveals a few words, it will immediately push the incident to a climax...

The capital of the Ming Dynasty is divided into the palace city, the imperial city, the inner city, and the outer city, and outside the Daming Gate of the imperial city is Qipan Street, which can be described as the essence of the capital.

Not only the palaces of the princes, the six departments of the imperial court, but also the governor's mansions of the five armies, Jinyiwei Yamen, etc. are here, and there are all kinds of shops that gather the essence of Ming merchants. All day long.

Passing through both ends of Qipan Street, towards Wangfu Street and Chongwen Street, there are similarly dense shops, and there are countless teahouses and restaurants with various brands. Jewelry, jade, and Lantern Street also converge here.

It was already noon, and Qipan Street, Wangfu Street, Chongwen Street and other streets and alleys were crowded with people. The dense flow of people was as crowded as sardines in a can, accompanied by the sound of fierce quarrels and physical fights.

In order to express their hearts to the greatest extent and let everyone pay attention to their own views, many people came up with the same method, found paper, cloth, wooden sticks, etc., wrote big characters, and stretched banners and slogans at both ends, which is somewhat similar to the parade of later generations Grand event.

They also held up signs from time to time to signal their point of view.

"Support Uncle Zhongyong, the Jingbian army will be victorious!"

"Down with the king's thief, punish the treacherous evil, if Qingfu survives, Lu's disaster will never end!"

While many people were holding up slogans, they were also desperately beating gongs and drums to attract everyone's attention. As they shouted and shouted, countless heads, looking from the buildings at both ends, all of their faces were full of excitement.

There are still many people who have nowhere to set foot, so they squeeze into the shops, even many merchants and officials who came to the capital from outside, are also very interested, and their faces are full of excitement. The situation before them makes them amazed, the capital is the capital, and the local very different.

The dynasty was over, and countless costumed beasts poured out, and everyone who shouted and shouted was also in chaos. They rushed forward and drowned the dressed beasts, and then divided them into various private places for detailed discussions to prepare for the next wave of battle.

In a small restaurant on Chongwen Street...

The consumption here is relatively real, not as expensive as the other side of Qipan Street, and it is very suitable for the pockets of some small officials. According to the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the six small officials, even those who participate in the court meeting, even if they are not qualified, how can they let them go? The emperor is in charge?They all find places to eat by themselves.

Because the meals are large and economical, even in troubled times, the business of this small restaurant has always been good, so the upstairs and downstairs are filled with people very quickly, and it is noisy. What is the attitude of the Holy Majesty and the princes at the court meeting?

Several speech officials are being impassioned. The leader is a young man, 25 or [-] years old, with a Chinese face and dark skin. His name is Zhuo Buwei, but he is an official.

Therefore, the scale of the court meeting in the next dynasty was huge, with more than a hundred people. Although Zhuo Bu was a small official, he participated in the same way. In addition, he had a strong personality and dared to speak out. He was one of the first to impeach Wang Dou this time. It is understandable for a brave general to become the core of the people at this table.

Under the admiring eyes of several young officials, he drank a glass of wine generously and shouted: "Have fun!"

He made a generous statement: "Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Meng said to obtain righteousness, although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!"

"In the past, Emperor Gao set up the censor as the head of the emperor's ears, eyes, and discipline. He said that all ministers who are treacherous, villains form a party, and those who are powerful and disorderly govern the government. All officials who are corrupt and corrupt officials will be impeached. Anyone who is academically inaccurate, submits a letter and declares to change it into a constitution, and whoever wants to use it will be impeached!"

"Then Wang Dou is a treacherous minister, a villain in the party, and a domineering and chaotic government! What is the man doing? It is to wipe out the evil and return the world to the peaceful and prosperous age. Although Wang Dou has many forces, how can I be afraid? And afraid of it? I swear to deal with it to the end with full blood!"

He cast his eyes downstairs, saw Wang Dou's supporters all over the street, and said bitterly: "Look at this thief, who invites people's hearts and threatens the Holy One, he is really a big thief!

Everyone around him applauded loudly, and another official said worriedly: "Hearing about this court meeting, all the princes are hesitant..."

He lowered his voice: "The king's bandit is powerful and threatened the frontier soldiers. The Holy One hesitated, and ordered Jin Yiwei to investigate thoroughly. Could it be that Huanghuang Daming really wants to surrender to those traitors, to do the kind of pain for loved ones, and quick for enemies?" Things?"

Several officials were distraught with grief and indignation, Zhuo Buwei's eyes were tearing apart, as if he was about to bleed.

He opened his eyes to the widest, stood up suddenly, and shouted sharply: "Never give in to the king's thief, we have read the books of sages and sages..."

His voice was shrill, like a cuckoo crying blood, and it stopped until the blood came out.

However, at this moment, several plates of vegetable soup were thrown over the head and face, and the table was thrown into a mess, crackling, and some vegetable soup and porcelain plate fragments splashed even more, splashing on Zhuo Buwei and the others, making everyone All of them couldn't dodge in time, and they were in a panic.

But I saw a few people standing up aggressively at the next table, and the leader shouted: "You crows, if you don't do your shit, you will catch the wind and frame Zhongliang. I really can't listen to it anymore. I'm so angry..."
