Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 390

good poem.

As Li Xiangjun was reading, it seemed as if a general appeared on horseback, riding a snow-white war horse, wearing a blood-red cloak, and the autumn wind was strong, and the cloak fluttered.

In front of the general was a city where the flames of war hadn't dissipated, and above the city were ferocious barbarians.

Behind the general is a group of mighty and unyielding generals, who can destroy mountains with united will.

Just when the general was about to fight with his subordinates, suddenly the poetry became popular. After changing the followers, he took out the pen and paper, and swayed with the wind, a few strokes were done immediately!
After that, the general killed the horse as soon as he broke it.

Although the scene is wrong, the emotion is right.

Obviously plagiarism, which is plagiarism again.

But at that time, Yang Chao really felt that the poem written by General Chen could express his feelings. He was deciding to return to Yangzhou, but faced with the disparity between the enemy and himself, Yang Chao felt a sense of sadness in his heart. With tens of 10 people, and the enemy relying on Jiancheng, it is really not optimistic to fight with 1 people, but it is impossible not to fight.

In fact, Yang Chao was prepared to die in battle at that time, maybe it was a rush of blood, or inner self-blame, or something else, even if it was caused by a man's blood, but he did decide to counterattack, and later he Thinking about it for myself, I have never been sure whether that decision was correct. After all, let tens of thousands of subordinates risk their lives in battle to fight against myself, which is hopeless no matter how you look at it. Things to do.

A desperate state of mind, coupled with the letter from Gu Mei asking for debt repayment that he had just read, this poem immediately appeared in front of Yang Chao's eyes. Usually, he might not be able to think of a good poem, but the love and the scene , immediately let the memory open the floodgates, releasing this turbulent verse.

This poem also conveys Yang Chao's spirit of fighting back against a strong enemy in a dangerous situation to Nanjing.

After Li Xiangjun saw it, she was deeply touched. After a long time, she came back to her senses and found that everyone was looking at her.

Especially Gu Mei, who looked at her strangely.

Li Xiangjun couldn't help being ashamed, and snorted coquettishly: "Okay, sister Gu. It's hard for you to hide it from everyone. It turns out that you and Mr. Yang have long--"

Before Li Xiangjun finished speaking, Gu Mei snatched the paper from her hand.

Immediately returned Li Xiangjun's words: "Hey, we know that we are jealous before the incense fan pendant has passed through the door! Jealousy is a bad thing. This is just to pay off the debt. He is just a Wubian. How can this girl like him? !"

To report victory to the emperor, to report victory to the people, and even to send a letter to Meilou, how could Yang Chao forget his family.

Simultaneously with the cavalry who threw out the good news and Xie Fei who entered the palace to report the victory, a horse rushed directly to Yang's house.

Li Liang personally delivered the letter to the Yang family.

Mrs. Yang caught and questioned her for several hours, all kinds of details were asked, starting from Taiping Mansion's blocking of Zuo Liangyu, until Li Liang left before she stopped.

After hearing that Yang Chao arrived in Yangzhou without any danger, but was defeated and fled, Mrs. Yang couldn't calm down. At the end, when she heard that Yang Chao had won the battle and was trying to appease the people, Mrs. Yang couldn't stop chanting Amitabha Buddha.

Finally, when he heard the continuous cooing, he finally gave up asking for more details, and asked someone to prepare meals for Li Liang, and specifically emphasized that there must be wine and meat.

After Li Liang had a full meal, he thought it was over, but he didn't expect to be called by Mrs. Yang to continue asking.

The question of concern this time became, since the battle had been won, when would Yang Chao go home.

Li Liang said, Lord Yang was appeasing the people, the Tazi soldiers would come back at any time, and they might not be able to come back for a while, so Madam Yang should not worry.

Can you not be in a hurry? When she heard that the Tartars would come again, Mrs. Yang became even more anxious.

I kept asking why the Tartars came to fight again after they were defeated. Didn't they always retreat and never come back in previous years?

Li Liang began to explain that the Tatars did not enter the customs this time to plunder, but to compete with the Ming emperor for the world.

These words made Mrs. Yang think about Amitabha Buddha again and again, fighting for the world, oh my God, how can she feel at ease when her son is involved in such a crisis.

"Blessed by the Buddha, let my son return safely. The good girl is willing to be a vegetarian for three years!"

Before she finished asking, Mrs. Yang had already started to make a wish in her heart, but she felt that it was not safe. She had already decided to take the princess to the temple to pray another day. I believe that the princess' face should be given by the Buddha.

Back to Meilou again.

Yang Wencong, who has always been on good terms with Gu Mei, also returned to Nanjing to inquire about news.

His fate largely depends on Yang Chao's future. Yang Chao guarantees that he will be promoted to another level within three years. In fact, Yang Wencong does not plan to use three years. The post of Shangshu.

However, if Yang Chao loses power, it will obviously affect him. After all, he is the left servant recommended by Yang Chao and sits in charge of the Shibo Department.

The Shibo Division is now raising military expenses for Yang Chao. If Yang Chao falls, the fate of the Shibo Division is unknown. If you want to be promoted one step, you will not have solid political achievements.

It was not difficult to inquire about the news. After meeting Ma Shiying, the movements in the court were clear.

So he came to Meilou to talk about the old days with his old friends, Yang Chao was indispensable in the conversation, Yang Chao was indispensable, and Yang Chao's poem would naturally be connected.

Yang Wencong also asked Gu Mei for a paper copy.

After reading it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Poetry is good poetry. It's just the words, I'm afraid it's not prudent enough!"

Gu Mei didn't think there was anything wrong with the poem, but seeing Yang Wencong's cautious demeanor, she also felt that there was something wrong with the good show.

"What's wrong with this poem?"

Gu Mei asked.

Yang Wencong pointed to the two characters above.

Gu Mei took a look: "Start a business?"

Yang Wencong nodded: "That's right, starting a business, Yang Chao is a general, what kind of business did he create!"

Gu Mei's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, they didn't think in any direction before, so they didn't think there was anything wrong. Starting a business was also understood by them as the achievements of generals.

But in the eyes of those who are interested, a military general who wants to start a business has a lot to do. Troubled times, armed forces, and determination to start a business, these words piled up on Yang Chao are definitely not good words.

Gu Mei couldn't help frowning: "It seems that Young Master Yang has gotten into trouble, I'm afraid the judge will impeach him."

Impeachment is nothing more than that.

Fortunately, this is Daming. If it were placed in the Qing Dynasty, just these two words would be enough for the Yang family to copy and kill.

"Hey, this poem was written to me by Mr. Yang, so I didn't think carefully about the words. Who would have thought that I would recite it in the court hall. It seems that I caused trouble for Mr. Yang."

Gu Mei smiled wryly.

But just as Gu Mei said, the court has become lively, Yangzhou has just been recovered, and no one thinks about how Yangzhou will be managed. Tide, take back military power.

And the one who tried to impeach is the famous Liu Zongzhou.

This Liu Zongzhou was as famous as his life, and he often had amazing words. During the Chongzhen period, the emperor who was repeatedly provoked was unhappy and was once imprisoned, but he won the reputation of a direct minister.

After Zhu Cihong ascended the throne, according to Donglin Party's suggestion, he naturally wanted to appoint this loyal minister.

But with three edicts on his face, Liu Zongzhou came to the post slowly, insisting that people use the old history of visiting the thatched cottage to satisfy his vanity.

When he arrived at the court, he was still the speaker, and the official worshiped the imperial envoy of Zuodu.

He has super fighting power, he dares to impeach anyone, and he is not afraid of offending anyone.

Including the impeachment of the four towns in Jiangbei, which caused the four towns in Jiangbei to jointly ask the court to kill him.

In the original history, Liu Zongzhou was dismissed by the court under the joint pressure of the four Jiangbei towns.

Knowing that the imperial court could not offend the warlords, he wrote to the imperial court to punish the four towns several times, and brought out the fact that the four towns had no achievements at all, embarrassing the court and making the four towns very angry.

It's just that in this time and space, because of Yang Chao's sudden birth, the Four Towns are not so domineering. With Yang Chao sitting in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial court has limited scruples about the Four Towns, so Liu Zongzhou was not dismissed, and the Four Towns were left alone. Dare to continue to put pressure on the court.

It's not that he hasn't impeached Yang Chao before, but he didn't start with merit, but felt that the imperial court shouldn't hand over the financial power to Yang Chao, and hoped that the imperial court would take back the power of the Municipal Department in Yang Chao's hands, close the Municipal Department, and follow the old rules , continue to ban the sea.

But what people in the imperial court understand is that the four towns in Jiangbei supply millions of dollars a year, and Yang Chao doesn't want a penny. He just relies on the support of the Shibo Department. Where did the taels of silver come from, even if they were taken back, the courtiers could see clearly that the business of Shibosi was something that Yang Chao could do, but the court couldn't.

If the imperial court does it, within a few months of keeping it, the Shibo Department will be useless, and the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River will continue to smuggle through the sea.

Although there are also civil servants who profit from the smuggling of wealthy families, compared to the constant military pressure on their heads, they still choose to temporarily let Yang Chao take charge of the shipping department in exchange for a promise not to ask the court for money.

Of course there were a few opponents, but there were more people who supported Yang Chao, and in the end the matter was left alone.

But this time Liu Zongzhou once again focused on Yang Chao, causing the court to have a headache, because Yang Chao's poem was too easy to find fault with, so this time was different from last time, there were many courtiers who agreed with Liu Zongzhou, and all of them It's those self-proclaimed lofty and bold guys.

But those who were really in power, such as Ma Shiying, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Duo, the cabinet minister, all remained silent, determined not to interfere in this matter, and let the emperor decide for himself.

Chaoyi was fierce, and the little emperor was facing Yang Chao at the beginning. Although the entrepreneurial venture made his heart skip a beat, he thought that when Yang Chao resolutely fought back, he must have been prepared to die. The emperor could also see it, but the officials' impeachment over and over again, and the detailed analysis in the memorial, still affected the little emperor's thinking.

The little emperor admitted that Yang Chao was probably determined to die at the time, but writing this poem proved his true thoughts. Is a person's words good when he is about to die? It shows that Yang Chao has thought about starting a business.

So the little emperor gradually felt that Yang Chao really had the idea of ​​being Cao Cao after being instilled over and over again by the civil servants.
