Chapter 309 Guarding the prince and dragging the entire Confucian orthodoxy to be buried with him!
The man in the boa robe was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his eyes, wrote down a person's name on the case, and said to Dong Tingxian: "You go to see this person and tell him that we need to add some firewood so that That stoked the fire a little bit bigger."
Dong Tingxian stared at the person's name for a while, then agreed: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
And on the second day after Dong Tingxian left.
When the sky was just getting dark and the remaining stars were still there, a large number of scholars wearing square scarves suddenly appeared outside the Palace of Prince Xin.
These scholars lined up and walked towards Prince Xin's Mansion.
At this time, the Xinwang Mansion had already dispatched many Jinyiwei in advance.
Wei Zhongxian had long been on guard against someone taking the opportunity to cause chaos, and in the name of protecting the powerful, he sent brocade guards outside these people's houses to guard them.
Xin Wang is no exception.
You must know that since Tianqi implemented the Reform and New Deal, there have been many forces secretly thinking of enthroning King Xin.
After all, King Xin is the emperor's younger brother, and he has the possibility of inheriting the throne in history and rituals. The key point is that King Xin can completely disown his descendant Zhang family when he ascends the throne.
Therefore, many forces opposing the New Deal have been staring at King Xin.
At this time, Jin Yiwei, who had been guarding Xinwang Mansion in advance, saw so many scholars appearing, they all shouted and asked, "What are you doing!"
"At this time of upheaval, come and ask Wang Jianguo!"
A scholar walking in the front replied loudly.
Then, another scholar shouted at the guard in front of him, "Get out of the way!"
Jin Yiwei hurriedly drew out his knife.
But these scholars suddenly took out their pistols from their sleeves, and pulled the trigger on these Jin Yiwei.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
The sound of frying beans sounded.
Many Jinyiwei were caught off guard and fell to the ground on the spot, bleeding into pools.
The concierge of Prince Xin's Mansion had already rushed in to report.
At the same time, Jin Yiwei also rushed to Miyagi to report.
Obviously, this is a coup.
And at this time, the Daming Yongwei Battalion was suddenly transferred outside the Daming Gate under the order of the General Soldier Ma Ke,
Ma Ke also held the official letter and said: "The Ministry of War orders! Let my brave guard camp enter the inner city to strengthen the guards in the palace! Please open the door of the Shenshu Battalion He Zongbing."
He Kegang, the commander-in-chief of the Shenshu Battalion guarding the Daming Gate and the entire inner city, was quite surprised, so he ordered: "Send someone to the Ministry of War to ask, is the Ministry of War really going to transfer the Yongwei Battalion into the inner city?"
"There is no need to send anyone, this hall has come in person. This is an agreement between the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Ministry of War. Therefore, our Ministry of War sent an official letter to transfer the Yongwei Battalion into the inner city in order to strengthen the defense of the inner city."
At this time, Zhang Ruocheng, the left servant of the Ministry of War who was temporarily in charge of the deployment, came to Daming Gate in person.
"But according to the system, the transfer of troops into the inner city should be discussed by the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Ministry of War, and the humble official who supervised the military administration."
Ye Chengxue came over at this time, and said: "Otherwise, unless he has the imperial decree, Zongbing Ma, he can't come in!"
Snapped!
Zhang Ruocheng slapped Ye Chengxue directly: "Presumptuous! You, a military official, dare to speak to the hall!"
Ye Chengxue's eyes were full of gold stars, and he was a little surprised.
At this time, Zhang Ruocheng yelled at He Kegang: "Open the city gate immediately! Otherwise, the hall will join you two at the court, which will delay the military plan!"
At this time, Yuan Keli, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came over, looked at Zhang Ruocheng and said something.
Zhang Ruocheng was startled when he saw Yuan Keli approaching, and then asked, "Why, the Chief Otsuka is also in charge of the Ministry of War?"
"Otsuka Zai!"
At this time, He Kegang and Ye Chengxue saw Yuan Keli appearing, and they both bowed their hands to Yuan Keli.
Yuan Keli nodded and looked at Zhang Ruocheng, took out the imperial decree from his sleeve, and said: "Before this, Your Majesty left a decree for me to assist me in military affairs, so I can naturally manage military affairs."
As he said that, Yuan Keli looked at He Kegang: "He Zongbing, you are promoted by the uncle of the country, you should know the rules, you can't just open the door to let a soldier who suddenly appeared into the inner city with an official letter from the Ministry of War Come."
"The humble job understands!"
"I really don't understand, what are you worried about?!"
Zhang Ruocheng asked a question, and said, "Isn't the Yongwei Battalion a soldier of the imperial court? What's the point of our military department sending him into the inner city?"
Yuan Keli said: "If you don't follow the rules, you don't follow the rules!"
"Yuan Liqing! It is well known in the world that the people in your policy making department are arrogant of power and disorderly governing. Now you say that the Holy Majesty ordered you to assist in military affairs in advance. I think it is your policy making department who is arrogant and disorderly governing!"
In desperation, Zhang Ruocheng directly spoke of Yuan Keli's imperial decree, and shouted to Ma Ke, the commander-in-chief of the Yongwei Battalion outside: "Mr. Ma! There is a treacherous minister, Yuan Liqing, who conspired against Wei Zhongxian, the powerful minister, Han Yu, etc., immediately. Quickly attack the Daming Gate and protect the prince!"
Ma Ke also understood after hearing this, and hurriedly shouted: "Prepare to attack the city! Take down the Daming Gate! Protect the prince!"
Yuan Keli then looked at Zhang Ruocheng: "What do you want to do, do you know what you are doing?!"
Zhang Ruocheng sneered: "Yuan Liqing, we naturally know. That's right, we just want to force the palace at this time, and by the way, force the new Majesty to kill you and wipe out all the ministers who support the reform! Then restore the etiquette and restore the ancestors. In addition, all your New Deals must be abolished!"
"It's all useless!"
As Zhang Ruocheng spoke, his veins burst out and he roared angrily.
Then, Zhang Ruocheng said again: "This is our last chance! Last chance!"
Then, Zhang Ruocheng burst into laughter suddenly, and shouted to the sky: "The last chance!"
Yuan Keli looked at He Kegang at this time: "He Zongbing, organize the defense! As long as you guard the Daming Gate, this hall will ask the court to make you a Marquis!"
He Kegang couldn't help but feel refreshed: "Please don't worry, Mr. Otsuka!"
Then, He Kegang began to arrange.
"Otsuka Zai!"
Zhang Ruocheng suddenly shouted at Yuan Keli.
Yuan Keli looked back at him.
Zhang Ruocheng bowed to him suddenly: "Please support the king of faith! No longer support the reform and new policy. Do you really want to see my Confucian etiquette being trampled on?! Seeing that Confucian scholars are not as noble as craftsmen?! As for the public office I care about the benefits of the Maoshan Iron Mine, do you really think that if you give up Xianzhou, abide by the kingly way, and don't fight for the benefits of foreigners, you can't get the benefits of the Maoshan Iron Mine?"
"The Duke has always been a smart man, and he should understand that the benefits of the Maoshan Iron Mine, if the imperial court does not participate in the benefits of the Maoshan Iron Mine, on the contrary, the Gongqing scholar-officials can get more benefits from the Maoshan Iron Mine from the foreigners!"
As he said that, Zhang Ruocheng looked at He Kegang and Ye Chengxue: "There are two more, if you all smuggle Maoshan's iron ore with foreign barbarians, it will not be less than sharing the benefits with the imperial court, it will only be more! So why sit idly by?" The royal court and the whole people share the benefits of the mine!"
"Zhang Shilang!"
Yuan Keli also yelled suddenly, and said: "Thank you for thinking it out! Give up the Maoshan iron ore to foreigners, and then collaborate with the foreigners to smuggle Maoshan iron ore into Daming, sell it to the imperial court at a high price, and defraud a large amount of state funds , until the imperial court is overwhelmed by you!"
"What is the common people of the country in your eyes?! You actually said such words that annihilate conscience!"
Then, Yuan Keli questioned Zhang Ruocheng loudly.
Zhang Ruocheng was taken aback for a moment, then gritted his teeth and pursed his lips, then turned around and asked He Kegang and Ye Chengxue: "You two, don't you want to get more benefits in Maoshan Iron Mine through the method I just mentioned!"
Boom!
He Kegang kicked Zhang Ruocheng directly, and scolded: "What the **** are you, how dare you look at me like this! When Uncle Guo promoted me, he said that he was looking for his loyalty and courage. You really think I'm a traitor!" Someone who seeks honor? If his ancestor Dashou didn’t want to be a lackey of the Tartars, why would I want to betray him?! You civil servants, don’t think that others are who you are!”
Zhang Ruocheng was stunned for a while, then sat up from the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "It's really bad luck! Why are the people recommended by my relative Zhang Gui so stupid!"
As he said that, Zhang Ruocheng looked at Yuan Keli: "Master Otsuka, you should understand that change of dynasty is a common occurrence. It may not be that his Zhu family's power is gone, and your Yuan family will be ruined if you want to be a loyal minister! You can be a loyal minister." When the Zhu family's country is gone, why should I drag my entire Confucian orthodoxy to be buried with him for the sake of his Zhu family's emperor?!"
