So the next day, Yang Shanlu was working in the farm, but Liu Zongzhou hurriedly found him, and seeing the bloodshot eyes in his eyes, it was obvious that he hadn't slept all night.
And when Liu Zongzhou saw Yang Shanlu, he didn't talk nonsense, he was not even called a son-in-law, but after pulling Yang Shanlu out of the farm, he called out his words directly.
This is what Liu Zongzhou said: "Zhenguo, I can understand it, now only you can save the people of Daming! So the old man has decided! I want to push you up! Only you control a larger territory, such as the entire Datong Town, and even The entire Xuanda three towns! And even a larger site, so that the people of Daming can survive!"
"Uh, what's the matter with you, old gentleman?" Yang Shanlu was shocked when he saw Liu Zongzhou's excitement and his words were shocking. The old gentleman was so impulsive, maybe he was stimulated by something... Yes, how do you like to go from one extreme to another
In fact, this is because of Liu Zongzhou's character, or Liu Zongzhou is a man of temperament, expressing his heart directly! I think when he first saw Yang Shanlu, it was 100 people who looked down on him and even accused him of being the son of a traitorous official!
But now, he turned a 180-degree turn, and he actually lifted him to such a height, and even said that only he can save Daming.
Then Yang Shanlu understood the reason... As a filial son, the old man lost his mother, which is really sad, and what makes him even more uncomfortable is the land of fish and rice like Zhejiang. , There will be refugees and chaos, so can you imagine other places in Daming? So no wonder the old man is so impulsive!
However, Yang Shanlu still underestimated Liu Zongzhou's impulsiveness. The next moment Liu Zongzhou had taken out a memorial from his sleeve, the fresh ink on it was obviously written overnight.
Liu Zongzhou said very excitedly: "Zhenguo, this old man returned home this time, and finally figured out a truth! The old man has already found a way to save the country with his own eyes—that is, you can help you to a higher position. ! So please wait for the good news, the old man will go to the capital and present this memorial to the saint himself!"
And Yang Shanlu couldn't help laughing or crying. Is this old gentleman sixty years old or sixteen years old? Can you stop being so impulsive to do things? Or don’t look back if you are right! And who wants good news! Not to mention whether the sage will agree, know that you still want to low-key development for a few years, if this is suddenly pushed to the cusp...
However, Liu Zongzhou didn't give him time to think about it. After talking to Yang Shanlu about his great pioneering work, he was already excited and went straight away, ready to go to the capital to listen to his thoughts.
Moreover, Liu Zongzhou's chances of seeing Chongzhen are not small, even though he has been dismissed as the people, but his lofty prestige lies there, and he is still an important status of the leader of the Donglin Party.
In addition, Liu Zongzhou has been under the influence of Yang Shanlu for some time, and he is no longer just talking about national affairs, but can actually understand various people’s livelihoods, and he seldom continues to sing against Emperor Chongzhen, so he really wants to If you go to Miansheng, Chongzhen is still likely to meet him. If you then submit this memorial...
Including many members of Yang Shanlu at this time, they were also shocked by Liu Zongzhou’s remarks. Although they followed Yang Shanlu for so long, they all knew that he was definitely not a thing in the pool, there was always a hidden dragon. It was on the day of Yuan, but the steps now are a bit messy!
Including Yang Shanlu himself, he was caught off guard by Liu Zongzhou, and he also knew that with this old gentleman’s temperament and his reputation, it was unrealistic to stop him, so now he can only Consider the impact.
But this can also be regarded as the butterfly effect he brought... While he profoundly affected a large number of people, these people in turn would also affect him, so after Yang Shanlu dealt with the farming matter, he immediately called for a job. The confidant, analyze the impact of this incident, including the various responses he should make.
On the official road of Zhenluwei, Liu Zongzhou was already sitting on the carriage, riding the dust.
Seven days later, the palace, Jinluang Hall.
After some operations, Liu Zongzhou, who was successfully summoned, gave a generous speech in front of Chongzhen, and uttered his proposition sharply-Yang Shanlu is the only one who saves the world! And despite the shock of hundreds of civil and military officials present, the memorial was presented on the spot.
In addition to Liu Zongzhou, he also presented a book of Wanmin! The so-called Wanminshu is a petition written by ten thousand ordinary people!
This was Liu Zongzhou’s mobilization of his disciples and ran all over Yanghe Daodong Road (which Liu Zongzhou told his disciples after he went to Beijing) to find the people who were willing to ask for orders for Yang Shanlu, and then wrote all their names and home addresses. In the above, this is well-founded! Of course these ordinary people hardly know how to write, but it doesn't matter, they will bite their fingers and put on bloody handprints!
Therefore, the current Emperor Chongzhen, looking at Liu Zongzhou’s fierce memorial, and then looking at this Wanmin Book with 10,000 bloody handprints, he was lost in thought... Why did the same person evaluate him completely? Different
Because during this period of time, he has been receiving all kinds of memorials to impeach Yang Shanlu, and even the large number is about to pile up his imperial cases!
As for the cause of the incident, it is also very obvious. This time, Yang Shanlu drastically managed the entire Yanghe Daodong Road, and it was a great management from top to bottom! Not to mention the others, there are as many as three or four hundred high-ranking officials (various corrupt officials) who are driven away!
Who are these three or four hundred people? The lowest of them are six-rank military officers, and even the high-ranking officials above the fifth rank who have been posted by him. But now, they are all driven by him. gone!
The so-called cutting off people’s wealth is like killing their parents. Although these three or four hundred people dare not confront Yang Shanlu head-on, each of them has a backing behind them. In addition, they have been officials for decades, and they have intricate relationships... Since you violated my fundamental interests, then I must fight with you to the end!
So soon, the imperial court was headed by the acting king Zhu Chuanhuoqi (founded in Datong Mansion), combined with some noble nobles in Beijing, plus a large number of officials from the DPRK, that was to impeach Yang Shanlu... all kinds of memorials, what? Disregarding the laws of the country, appointing nepotism, and even turning the entire Yanghe Daodong Road into a trend of his words... Anyway, how dirty all kinds of dirty water are spilled on him!
But I have to say something here, Emperor Chongzhen withstood this pressure! He still trusts Yang Shanlu! He still remembers the promise he had said to him when he played against Yang Shanlu Junci, as long as what Yang Shanlu did is worthy of Daming and Sheji, his Chongzhen is his strongest backing!
So so many memorials were kept by him and not issued. (The so-called stay in the middle is to keep the memorials on the ministers in the palace ban, not to approve, not to give orders, and just leave them in the air)
But even so, Chongzhen also suffered a lot of pressure, because these ministers, like they had taken gunpowder, gave impeachment memorials every day, which made Chongzhen very annoying! But now, after seeing Liu Zongzhou's memorial to "Ingenuity", Emperor Chongzhen was shocked... Did he underestimate Yang Aiqing
After all, he was too aware of Liu Zongzhou’s personality. Although this old gentleman had repeatedly confronted him at the beginning, and even admonished him with death, he still admired this old gentleman’s character. It was really poor and humble. Wealth can't be ***, a role model for scholars, and an example for literati!
But now, such characters actually stand up to support Yang Shanlu? Even still such a high profile? What makes Yang Shanlu blow out is so unique in the world, and even the hope of saving Daming is tied to him alone
It's just that this is scratching Chongzhen's itchy place... The so-called clever woman can hardly cook without rice, as this rare year of catastrophe continues to deepen, the situation of the entire Ming Dynasty is getting more and more difficult! The memorials requesting disaster relief from all over the world flew like snow flakes, making Chongzhen a deep headache!
Even Chongzhen would not dare to imagine that if Yang Shanlu had not turned the tide before, he would have eliminated Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai as the second thief dedicated to Cao! Qiongzhou Island has been developed again, and there continues to be a supply of rice. Now Daming Jiangshan, I really don’t know how it looks like! (In the original history, Zhang Xianzhong at this time has revived, and with the countless refugees in this catastrophe year, half of Daming's country has been eroded.)
But even so, the current Chongzhen is already in distress, including the fact that he has repeatedly asked the Ministry of Accounts about the book, and the head of the Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's money. Is there a way? The answer I got was only two words-No Zhe.
So now, suddenly seeing a ray of light from Liu Zongzhou, Chongzhen was suddenly moved... Of course, this matter is very important and cannot be easily decided.
So Chongzhen looked at Liu Zongzhou, who was still waiting for his reply, and said with a pleasant face: "Old Aiqing (Liu Zongzhou is already a grassroots body, but to show his closeness, he still calls it that way), your piece is loyal to the country, I have seen it, and I will carefully consider your proposal."
But I have to say, why Liu Zongzhou is a'strain', Chongzhen has said so, including the officials present who impeached Yang Shanlu, all glared at him, wishing to peel off this old guy's skin! Liu Zongzhou still said, "My lord, this is already the only hope to save Daming, so you have to make a decision early, otherwise the old minister will come tomorrow!"
"I know!" Well, if it was in the past, Chongzhen would have been unhappy with Liu Zongzhou's "I don't know how to advance or retreat", but now, since his perception of him has changed, Chongzhen has become admiring Liu Zongzhou. Come... This is the loyal minister of the country!
(I would like to say one more thing here. In fact, most of the Donglin Party members are patriotic. They just couldn’t find the right direction. That’s why Yang Jisheng’s mistake in the country happened. Now only to find the right direction, it’s still very Energetic)
Not to mention that after Liu Zongzhou retired, he began to contact other Donglin party members and continued to build momentum for Yang Shanlu. It was said that Emperor Chongzhen, after he retired, the more he thought about it, the more he thought it made sense... It seemed that he had to put pressure on Yangshanlu a little heavier. It's a burden!
Of course, Chongzhen also knows that the so-called hearing is false and seeing is believing, this upcoming decision is of great importance to all people! So you still need to go to the East Road to see in person (Liu Zongzhou's'social practice' when he returned home this time also touched him), only after truly understanding the actual situation can he make the right decision!
However, the so-called country cannot be ruled in one day. Chongzhen asked people to check the map. It takes more than ten days to go to the East Road, plus it takes two or three days to investigate, so almost half of it will be left. Months, such a long time...
So Chongzhen knew that he could not hide it, so he called in the cabinet chief Liu Yuliang, cabinet second assistant Yang Sichang and others, and told them that they would go to the East Road for a field investigation. Then they would review the memorials in the court on their behalf (cabinet assistant minister) We have the right to vote. Of course, if it really matters a lot and they can’t make a decision, they can send a letter to the flying pigeon to inform him.
But when he learned that Chongzhen was leaving the capital, the cabinet chief Liu Yuliang was shocked, and it stands to reason that he should be resolutely blocked as the cabinet chief! (Chongzhen is a distinguished status and cannot leave Gyeonggi) However, this cabinet chief has always believed in Mingzhe to protect his life, and then he looked at Chongzhen's decision to go, so he didn't do anything to persuade him.
On the contrary, it was the second assistant Yang Sichang. Although he did not approve of Emperor Chongzhen’s leaving the capital, he learned that he was going to Yanghe Daodong Road to investigate, so Yang Sichang changed his mind...
To know that so many people impeached Yang Shanlu this time, it made him very annoyed! It's just that this time the background is too big, the prince is also honorable, and he can't stand it... So I can take this opportunity to let the sage see Lu'er's deeds, and then severely reprimand those people, that should be Is it good...
Since the two most important figures in the cabinet have no objections, this matter is settled-Chongzhen is about to leave Beijing for the first time since he became the throne!
Of course, originally Chongzhen was very diligent. He almost went to the sky, but now he suddenly disappeared for half a month. Isn't it to arouse the suspicion of those ministers? But this is not difficult for these cabinet ministers. After they discussed it, they said that the emperor's dragon body is not safe and occasionally suffers from minor illnesses, so it can be confused with those ministers.
But in any case, the emperor’s travel is not a trivial matter, and there must be strong armed guards around him, but now the main armed force of the capital, namely the three major battalions of the capital, has long been slack and unusable.
However, the current imperial court is very embarrassed. Apart from these people, there is really no available armed force. In the end, it can only draw the eldest son among the dwarves. Five hundred sergeants are selected from the three major battalions, and they are also selected from the Jinyiwei. With five hundred capable fans (Jinyiwei was originally the royal forest army, the emperor's guard), so a total of 1,000 people set off.
In addition to this trip, Chongzhen also brought his confidant eunuch Wang Chengen, plus the ministers of the three major camps, Wuping Marquis Chen Shien, to accompany the king with his writing and martial arts.
Of course, it was a secret trip this time, so these thousand people were light-clothed and simple. After quietly leaving the capital, they came to Yanghe Daodong Road. (End of this chapter)
