"...His eunuch Li Guang deceived Your Majesty into using unapproved medicine in the name of smelting. He arranged for royal relatives in the hope of favors, stole jade springs, bypassed private houses, opened a lucky door, and engaged in wanton corruption. , invaded the land, and almost led to civil unrest. The prince-in-law treated his relatives as his father, and the general soldiers guarded him and called him a palace. His crime was not unknown to the ministers, but also to the princes in the court. However, in the case of Li Guang, the law was rampant. During the attack, there was the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, Zhou Jing, who did not avoid powerful people, was upright and vocal, and his name was also framed by rumors. His husband Li Guang was dead now, so he dared to attack and frame him. Outside, there was the fierce general Wang Yue, who was also included in the attack. If your majesty will comply with the plan of the cronies who enter Guangzhou, the generals who guard the border and the people at the border will fill the ravines with death without resting their eyes... I will no longer be afraid of sin, but your majesty will make a holy decision!"

Wang Hao is a person who writes excellent articles.

As I thought about it last night, I became more and more inexplicably agitated, and finally I angrily picked up the pen and wrote the memorial in one fell swoop.

When writing articles, pay attention not to change a single word, so that you can be as charming as possible.

Wang Hao's sentence "The generals who guard the border and the people at the border are filling the ravines with their lives and not keeping their eyes open" accurately pointed out the reason why Wang Yue needs to be elected, and he also named and criticized the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology, blaming them. Use the opportunity of Li Guang's death to expand the attack area!

He only cares about his own political interests and does not care about the life and death of the people.

Emperor Hongzhi waited day and night, and finally waited for such a magnificent article!

He cheered in the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace!

But outside the palace, there was a loud thunder!

Because it turned out that Wang Hao was a representative figure in Qingliu. He became a Jinshi, was awarded the Hanlin Academy, compiled "Records of Xianzong", and joined Zhan Shifu. Every step of his career was exactly on the right track to get out of the cabinet and become a prime minister.

No one could have imagined that this person would write such a memorial at this juncture.

Today, in every corner of the capital, the main topic of Qingliu officials gathering in groups was to drag Wang Hao out and scold him.

Wu Kuan rushed directly into the palace. Wang Hao was his subordinate. He thought he knew this person fairly well. What is his name now?

"Master Wu." Wang Hao's face was expressionless, and he faced his boss's angry face with a straight face. He was calmer than usual.

In terms of official positions, Wu Kuan was his superior, and in terms of imperial examinations, Wu Kuan was his senior.

So when you meet someone, you should be polite or polite.

"Jizhi, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you say anything to Shu, who was awarded the title of a mighty general for the country? Did you know that things are about to turn upside down outside?!" Mr. Wu got straight to the point and said You are welcome.

"If I discuss it with the adults, will they agree?"

"How could I agree with you to speak for that Li Guang crony?!"

"That's it. The subordinates must report this memorial. It's better to let the Lord know about it, and it's better to let the Lord not know. In this case, why bother with the Lord again?"

These words are similar to what Wang Hao and Wang Jizhi said.

But Wu Kuan also stared angrily, "Wang Hao, you are not the only gentleman in the world. Am I, Wu Kuan, afraid of being implicated?"

"Ji made a mistake, please forgive me."

Why.

Wu Kuan was not really angry about this. He was still angry about the memorial.

"Jizhi, do you know that what you are destroying is the overall situation? Since the fourth year of Hongzhi, Li Guang has deceived His Majesty's trust with his strange magic skills. Many ministers of the court have succeeded him. Now that Li Guang has finally surrendered, it is time to uproot him. How do you do that? Can you do such a thing? You are still the mainstay of the Qing Dynasty. How do you make the world look at the ministers of the court?"

"That's all. It turns out that Li Guangzhi's evil influence has faded, and the election of the chief commanders of the three sides can be appointed as a loyal minister of the country. Even if His Majesty's side delays for a few days, there is great hope. But now, you are here

Feng Shu set off a fight over the selection of the chief officials of the three sides, and even started a fight over Li Guang's case, which destabilized the court. If there is a mistake at the border, can you, Wang Hao, bear the eternal infamy?!"

Wang Hao has never been scolded like this in his whole life. He has always done things with a clear conscience.

"Master Wu, not only the lower officials can't bear the blame for the border failure, but no one in the court can bear it! Since no one can bear it, why not send General Wang Yue? At least there is a better chance of winning the war.

Bigger! According to Mr. Wu, if you change it to someone else, who should you replace it with? Is there anyone who can lead troops better than General Wang Yue in fighting now? When something goes wrong by then, who will bear the blame? Is it you, Mr. Wu?

!”

"You are so presumptuous!" Wu Kuan slapped the table and looked at Wang Hao with hatred.

He is over sixty years old, and for many years he has valued Wang Hao, who is more than ten years younger than him.

Never would have imagined that one day, the two of them would be in this situation.

Come to think of it, the variable is the East Palace.

Wu Kuan calmed down and asked, "Do you still remember what I said about the extraordinary wisdom of the East Palace?"

Of course Wang Hao remembers,

They were discussing it not long ago.

"Master Wu, the new and strange method is not the wrong method. Do you know what His Highness the Crown Prince said to me?"

"What did your Highness say?"

Wang Hao was full of anger and said loudly: "His Royal Highness said that if the court cannot send famous generals due to the situation, once the defeat is reported to future generations. Will future generations think it is me, the civil servant of the Ming Dynasty, who is ridiculous, or the emperor and the prince...! Mr. Wu

, the history books are full of ridiculous things, do we, the Ming Dynasty, want to add a joke to future generations in the hands of you and me?!"

The following words were taboo, so Zhu Houzhao could just say "I don't know what's good or bad", but he, a minister, couldn't say it.

But even though he couldn't speak, Wu Kuan could understand it.

"How do you know there will be a defeat?! Wang Yue is already very old. Our Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world and has thousands of people. Can we rely on just one Wang Yue to support us? What if he is already dead? Will our Ming Dynasty collapse?

Is it done?"

"But he's still alive!"

"you!"

Wu Kuan knew that he would not be able to convince Wang Hao today no matter what.

He was so angry that he threw his hands away and turned around to leave.

But after taking two steps, he stopped and said: "I have said before that you, Wang Jizhi, are not the only gentleman in the world. I, Wu Kuan, am not afraid of any powerful people! As long as it is detrimental to the country and the country, I will take part in it! You, please take care of yourself.

!”

Wang Hao is neither humble nor arrogant. He is a gentleman. He is worthy of heaven and worthy of others! He is afraid of a bird!

Later, not only Wu Kuan, but also many officials from the DPRK and the Central Government wanted to find out the truth, including Xie Qian, Wang Hua, Cheng Minzheng... He and these people were officials in the same DPRK and knew each other well.

It’s just that no one really thought about ‘fighting side by side’ with Li Guang’s people.

This is actually pretty good,

There are also some people who are afraid that others will implicate him and say that he has some relationship with Li Guang, so they strongly oppose it and use his reputation to name him. This kind is even more hateful.

at the same time,

The two fast horses left the capital and swept westward quickly along the official road. After arriving at the inn, people stopped, horses stopped, and messages continued. Now that there are such major changes in the court situation, the northwest side must know as soon as possible.

west side...

It is now known as the three sides. Gansu Town is located in the far west, roughly located in the current Hexi Corridor area, to the east is Ningxia Town, and further east is Yansui Town, which is now Yulin.

The trilateral commander-in-chief recommended by the imperial court was to control the troops and horses in this area and fight against the Tatars.

Gansu is the westernmost place on the Nine Borders and is far away from the capital. Once the border generals with heavy troops rebelled, it would shake the world. Therefore, since the first year of Hongxi, when Wang An was appointed as the eunuch to guard Gansu, the imperial court began to dispatch eunuchs to guard it. This was also the eunuch guarding.

The beginning of a place.

Among the three sides, Gansu Town has the weakest troops, while Yansui and Ningxia Town have slightly better troops.

The surname of the commander-in-chief of Gansu Town is Zhu, and his national surname is Zhu Mingzhi. The surname of the guarding eunuch is Zhang, and his name is Zhang Tao.

Although they were far away from the court, their eyes were fixed on the court.

Especially Zhang Tao, who came from the palace, he paid special attention to Li Guang's death.

The system of guarding eunuchs... was initially used to station eunuchs in one place. Later, guarding eunuchs were assigned to all border towns, and some mining tax eunuchs were also dispatched.

The eunuch army was later criticized, but in fact this was both good and bad.

For example, during the Zhengtong period, the eunuchs of the Xuanfu reported directly to the palace, bypassing the commander-in-chief and the governor, saying that they had neglected their duties, which shocked local officials. Because they were ministers, they did not go through the cabinet procedures and reported directly to the palace.

For another example, during the Zhengde period, when King Ning rebelled, the first person to report the incident to the palace was the garrison eunuch in Nanjing.

Of course, its problem is also obvious, that is, it has a lot of eunuchs, but eunuchs can also be corrupt, have selfish motives, and can get involved with local officials.

Once it is corrupted to that extent, the system is actually just about girls getting married - it has no purpose.
