On the second day, Yang Shanlu and Yang Sichang went to the palace to hear the seal.
The morning of Ming Dynasty is very early, about 5 to 7 in the morning, which is almost as early as dawn.
And when they entered the Forbidden City, there were seven or eight little eunuchs with bells and drums, and they began to support the giant tree to slam the Jingyang bell and ring the Sichen drum. After the bell and drum were struck, they announced the beginning of the early dynasty. The official went to the palace.
It’s the first time Yang Shanlu went to the morning dynasty. To be precise, it was also the first time to enter the Jinluan Palace... The big girl got on the sedan chair once!
And although he made a great contribution this time, he is now only a five-rank official position. At the place where the important civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty gather, he can almost only stand in the last row, looking to the front from him, You can only see rows of bodies and buttocks, the emperor can't see anything at all.
On the contrary, his old father Yang Sichang, who is quite advanced, probably in the second and third row, is already a very important minister.
However, Yang Shanlu discovered that some civil servants were whispering, among them Liu Zongzhou, and they looked at his father with contempt... A strange atmosphere began to flow quietly.
And at this time, the two servants who opened the way screamed: "The emperor is here." The whole hall fell silent.
Then I saw Emperor Chongzhen wearing a five-claw dragon robe, and under the guidance of his confidant eunuch Wang Chengen, sitting on the Golden Luang Palace.
Because today’s highlight is to appoint Yang Shanlu, father and son, Emperor Chongzhen briefly asked that all the ministers and workers have a memorandum... Then he asked the eunuch Wang Chengen who served on the left and right to pronounce the imperial decree.
I heard a sharp voice: "Yang Sichang, the left servant of the Xuanbing Department, and Yang Shanlu, the guardian of the town captive, stepped forward and listened."
"what!"
Among the hundreds of civil and military officials, there was a burst of violence. It was normal to appoint Yang Sichang, but I didn't expect that the hero of this shocking victory, Yang Shanlu of Zhenluwei came, but we have to see who it is!
After listening to the announcement, Yang Shanlu squeezed forward from the end of the crowd until Baiguan voluntarily separated. Yang Shanlu went out to work with his father Yang Sichang and knelt down in the envy of everyone. Seal.
Then Wang Chengen said in a shrill voice: "Today there is Yang Sichang, the minister of the Ministry of War, who governs the country and teaches his sons well. He is specially designated as the official second-ranked book of the Ministry of War and leads the nation's military affairs.
Today, there are town captives and thousands of households Yang Shanlu, loyal and loyal to serve the country, courageous in doing things, and promotion to the third level! Sealed as a guard commander! And Yin's mother is Mrs. Hao Ming! I hope that this member will continue to be loyal to the country and contribute to the country. "
After the announcement was completed, the ministers of His Highness all began to discuss... It was the first time that many people knew that the two people were still a father-son relationship. As for now seeing that the father and son are sealed at the same time, they also know the grace that this represents. Pet...
The Emperor Chongzhen sitting high on the dragon chair, seeing the astonished appearance of the civil and military officials, was satisfied. He wanted to let the whole world know that he would not hesitate to reward the meritorious officials!
But before Yang Shanlu and his son bowed their heads to thank you, I saw a large group of people in the hall hula knelt down and said together: "Weichen and others are going to impeach the traitor Yang Sichang!"
Okay, Emperor Chongzhen looked down, his face turned gloomy, and all those who came out were Donglin Party members, like He Kai in the official department, Qian Zeng in the official department, Qian Zeng in the official department, and Lin Lanyou, the official of the court. … And the head of this is Liu Zongzhou, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Huang Daozhou, Shao Zhan Shifu.
Then he opened fire with Liu Zongzhou as the main force, talking about Yang Sichang’s unfaithfulness and filial piety. For example, in this revolt, there are "forgetting relatives and ethics", "great rebelliousness", and "bad people". An ominous person must never be reused.
Okay, Yang Sichang, who was kneeling on the ground, turned blue with anger, but as an impeached person, he couldn't play in person in order to avoid suspicion, so he could only let them pour dirty water over.
As for the Emperor Chongzhen sitting high in the dragon chair, his face was even more ugly. In fact, in the first few years of his ascension to the throne, he respected the great sages and literary masters like Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou in the world. .
However, in recent years, he has gradually seen through them, because these people have a set of theories about governing the country. Talking about the Four Books and the Five Classics, they will not repeat the same for a day, but it is really useless in practice! They are the only ones who are keen on party struggles, hoping to achieve what they think they are.
As it is now, as long as political opinions are inconsistent, regardless of three or seven twenty-one, you will be knocked to the ground! Of course, if Emperor Chongzhen himself came to argue against them now, it would seem a bit of a price drop.
And at this time, when the leader of the court, Wen Tiren, was speaking, this was also a traitor in the eyes of the Donglin Party members, so now seeing the Donglin Party members attack, he jumped out of his own accord.
"The minister thought that what Mr. Liu said was wrong!" Wen Tiren is naturally talented when he can be the first assistant, so this rebuttal is of course the point. Moreover, he had a good relationship with Yang Sichang, so of course he will come out to help out.
But Yang Shanlu, who was still kneeling on the ground, saw Wen Tiren come out to argue for them, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. You must know that this man has a conclusive conclusion in history, and he is clearly classified as a traitorous official!
But now, this traitorous official jumped out to argue for his father and son? It seems that I can't escape the hat of a traitor.
However, Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied when he saw Wen Tiren jump out, and nodded: "Aiqing said it is very true, I have decided on this matter, and there is no need to discuss it!"
"what!"
Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou and others saw it, but they were very angry, no wonder the country is getting tough day by day, this is the villain in charge, blinding the saint...
Liu Zongzhou gritted his teeth and suddenly said loudly: "The minister still has a book!"
Then he took out a memorial from him, and Yang Shanlu glanced at it, and his heart was stunned... Could this be the famous "Angry Time and Hardship"? You must know that it was this memorial that Liu Zongzhou was dismissed on the spot!
Of course, according to the original history, this memorial should have been put forward at the beginning of the year, but now it seems that it was stirred by his butterfly wings...
At this time, Liu Zongzhou had already spoken, and his face was still shining with the brilliance of justice: "Over the past few years, your majesty has been guilty of personal relations, and his ministers have often used it to report; your majesty has used it without monitoring, and the villains of the world will stand towards!
Woohoo, in eight years, who is Bing Guocheng, and so is! The minister can't be the first to keep warm and benevolent. Moreover, the villain is always more important than the Zhou villain, and the gentleman is unique. Therefore, since ancient times, there is a gentleman who has a villain, but there is no party like a gentleman who is a villain..."
All in all, this memorial focused on criticizing Emperor Chongzhen and reusing villains, which made the affairs of the country difficult! By the way, he scolded the head of the court to help Wen Tiren.
Well, Emperor Chongzhen was caught off guard, Liu Zongzhou actually has such a heavyweight*, he blames him for the difficult situation today! It was so angry that I couldn't speak for a while!
As for the head of the dynasty to help warm the body, it is even more maddening! My heart said, you old man! It turned out to have been waiting for me here long ago! Just because he involved himself, it was not easy to argue directly.
As for Wen Tiren's other party members, some were too low to be worthy of fighting with Liu Zongzhou, and some were high in status, but were shocked by Liu Zongzhou's bold offense. They all forgot to help out... The scene was extremely quiet for a while!
But at this suffocating moment, suddenly there was an abnormal noise outside the hall! And the noise is getting louder and louder! It seems that countless people are cheering and shouting outside!
"What's the noise outside!"
Emperor Chongzhen's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip!
Many ministers did not know why, so immediately there was a servant in the palace ran out to inquire, and when he came in again, he knelt down in the tunnel: "Emperor Qi, it is the people of the capital who are celebrating spontaneously!"
"Because the more than a thousand heads captured by Zhenluwei have been piled up at Caishikou into Jingguan, and the Jingguan is more than ten feet high! It is rare in the past! Including the captured hundreds of armors with the banner of Tartarus, they are all available for viewing. So the people in the capital cheered for joy, and the sound of celebration is just like the New Year!"
"is it?"
The emperor Chongzhen's face suddenly cleared after hearing this, and then he listened carefully, and it was so... At this time, the people outside had gathered more and more, cheering! Long live the mountain call! There are various sounds, and they are about to break the roof!
"Haha!"
Emperor Chongzhen has no steps down, and now he heard it loudly and shouted: "Did you hear Liu Zongzhou! You keep saying that Yang Aiqing is a traitorous villain! A traitorous courtier and his son! But what is the celebration outside!
You said I was blinded by the villain! Could it be that so many people outside are also deceived by the villain! I think you have been deceived! "
At this time, Wen Tiren saw the rare opportunity, and he simply ignored his decency, went into battle in person, and echoed: "The words of the saints are extremely true! Liu Zongzhou used the name of righteousness to slander the country! The officials secretly thought that this is such a talent. He is a real villain! He deserves to be dismissed from office! Just as an example!"
"That's it!"
Chongzhen had long been impatient with Liu Zongzhou, not to mention falsely accusing him of Yang Shanlu and his son, whom he valued the most, so Chongzhen immediately said: "Come here, strip off Liu Zongzhou's official robe and wear it! Demoted to the people!"
Two little eunuchs came over immediately and wanted to strip off Liu Zongzhou's official gown tops!
"This this… "
Although Liu Zongzhou is full of resources, he is unable to argue at this time! The surging cheers outside are the best proof!
However, Liu Zongzhou's heart is twisted like a knife, his head is trembling with white hair... This is truly a country without heaven! Traitor in power! Even the saints are loyal and evil!
In that case, stop! For the livelihood of the people of the world, why should the old man remonstrate with death!
So Liu Zongzhou suddenly stiffened, and then he screamed: "The emperor is going to dismiss the veteran's official, the veteran should obey! Only the veteran has one last book... The evildoer is in charge of the country, the country will not be the country! I hope the emperor will think twice!
Wei Zheng, a wise minister in the ancient times, gave his advice to death! What a hell of an old man today! "
After speaking, Liu Zongzhou fiercely pushed aside the two little eunuchs around him, and slammed his head into a thick court pillar in front of him!
What a staunch Liu Zongzhou, if he hits him, he will definitely be killed on the spot!
But at this moment, the two little eunuchs were stunned. They were about to splash five steps of blood. Suddenly, Liu Zongzhou's body was pulled by someone... This person was Yang Shanlu.
"Where does the old man come here!" Since Liu Zongzhou took out the "Indignation and Difficulties", Yang Shanlu has been staring at him to prevent accidents! So after discovering that he looked wrong, he immediately rushed over and hugged him!
"This this… "
For a while, the court was a little messy, and even Emperor Chongzhen was taken aback! With the staunchness of this old man, it's almost a big deal!
On the contrary, Liu Zongzhou, when he saw Yang Shanlu being blocked, he scolded angrily: "Little thief, why are you blocking me!"
Yang Shanlu didn't speak, but just hugged him tightly... He said nothing on this occasion.
But at this time, more eunuchs rushed forward and caught Liu Zongzhou, making him nowhere to be found.
However, after the emperor Chongzhen had settled for a while, he still maintained the original judgment and dared to threaten me with death! I am not afraid of you! So in the end, Liu Zongzhou was still relegated to the people! Drive out of the Golden Temple!
When the early dynasty finally dissipated, the hundreds of civil and military officials were full of discussions, and the atmosphere was heavy, including Yang Sichang and Yang Shanlu. After such a disturbance, they were not in a good mood.
So they ignored some congratulatory officials and returned to the Yang mansion early.
After returning to the Yang Mansion, the Zhou family had returned to normal at this moment. Seeing Yang Sichang returned to the mansion, he quickly asked, "Master, what official has been promoted this time?"
"Improve you!"
Yang Sichang didn't give her a good face at all! He was thinking about Liu Zongzhou's appearance... If this is really hit to death, he will definitely end up with a reputation as a deadly Zhongliang! Luckily, Lu'er responded quickly...
It was Zhou, who ate another closed door, but she didn't want to ask Yang Shanlu, so she could only sulk secretly!
However, Yang Shanlu felt that he had left the town prison guard for a long time, and then the rewards of the father and son were also down, and it was time to return.
"My father, my child is going to bid you farewell!" But after finding Yang Sichang, Yang Sichang thought for a while and said, "Lu'er, wait a moment."
Then Yang Sichang called Zhou Clan over.
Zhou's still didn't know what was going on at this time? I thought Yang Sichang was going to reconcile with her, so he was very happy, but when he entered the living room and saw Yang Shanlu was there, his face was a little droopy.
And Yang Sichang didn't care about her, he just ordered: "Madam, you give Lu'er fifty thousand taels of silver."
"What?" Zhou immediately exploded, like a cat with its tail stepped on, and screamed: "Why give it to him! Our Yang Family has a big business, and I don't know how much we spend every day..."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Clan was interrupted by Yang Sichang before he finished speaking: "What is it, tell you to take it out!" Yang Sichang usually doesn't care about money, but it doesn't mean that he has no power to control! Not to mention that he knows exactly how much money Hundred Flower Dew has made in the past two years!
Seeing Yang Sichang's anger, Zhou really didn't dare to talk back, even if Yang Sichang was more used to her.
So Zhou could only go to get the money with angrily, but after a while, after she returned again, she only took out a stack of cash receipts and said: "There are only 40,000 taels at home."
In fact, she was still rich, but she was really angry, so she quietly deducted ten thousand taels. And even so, the profits for most of the year have been wiped out!
Yang Sichang gave her a stern look, and after taking these silver tickets, he handed them to Yang Shanlu: "Lu'er, you are going to the guards of the town. There are so many things that you need to spend money on, so you can take these. Right!"
"Thank you Father -" Yang Shanlu is still very happy, and it seems that after fully supporting him, it is quite cool.
Of course, Yang Shanlu was still able to live up to the face, and he even paid a salute to Zhou's: "Thank you for the kindness of your mother." As for how dark Zhou's face was, he didn't care.
Forty thousand taels of silver bills are still quite a lot. There are a total of 40 of the leading silver bills of one thousand and two, and Yang Shanlu carefully put it in his pocket.
Then Yang Shanlu was about to leave, but before he left, he suddenly thought of one more thing, which was to ask Yang Sichang: "By the way, my father, do you know where the degraded official was sent off?"
"What? Do you want to send that old man off!" Yang Sichang's expression was a little unhappy.
"Yes." Yang Shanlu didn't deny it, and said loudly: "Although Mrs. Liu has a different political philosophy from ours, it is undeniable that he is a clean and honest official, so he should be sent to him because of reason. of."
Okay, after Yang Sichang was silent for a while, he felt that this could show the people of his father and son's mind, so he nodded and said: "Then you go to Changting outside the north gate of Jingshi to see this old man for the last time!" (End of this chapter)
