Chapter 304 The situation suddenly changed
Chapter 304: The situation changes suddenly
Xie Hong didn't know how effective the aerobics and various supplements would be, and how long it would take to take effect. However, after a conversation with Zhengde, he confirmed another thing, that is, Zhengde's mentality is younger than his actual age.
Among all the emperors in China, Zhengde is a rare only son, and he is a family of three, a kind father and strict mother. Under Hongzhi's doting, his growth experience is similar to that of the children in later generations, which also leads to his immature mentality.
This immaturity is not only manifested in being an emperor, but also in his attitude towards women.
Especially with the various tricks created by Xie Hong, for Zhu Houzhao, the temptation of working hard to cultivate his queen and creating a perfect woman is far less than the pleasure of becoming the best pitcher in the baseball league. Correspondingly, he did not show any enthusiasm for this.
Regardless of whether he was in a cocoon or not, Xie Hong's confidence in the strategy of delaying time was getting smaller and smaller, so for the time that he followed, he devoted all his energy to preparing for the war.
In his own opinion, Ivy League Academy has changed the most, and both the research institute and junior college have withdrawn the Military Equipment Department. Of course, it seems that it is very active. In fact, there are not many people in these two institutes in total. Because these two institutes are different from primary schools, Xie Hong is expected to get help from here in the near future, so the requirements are relatively high, resulting in relatively few people.
There is no change in primary schools at all. Most of the teachers in primary schools make money for the sake of making money. They are not really loyal to Xie Hong. Of course, they are not considered core personnel. Therefore, the operation of primary schools is still carried out as usual.
Zhenbaozhai and Houdefang have not changed at all. The third father-in-law and Ma Yongcheng returned to the imperial city, but the matter outside was still here to ask for instructions, so basically everything in these two places is as usual.
As for Lichunyuan, to outsiders, this intelligence system has nothing to do with Xie Hong, but it is just a more successful businessman with the style of Zhenbaozhai.
In the eyes of outsiders, the biggest move is the Baseball League. Thirty-two teams and thousands of people gathered in the West Garden of Imperial City, which is a major event that is quite eye-catching in any case.
At the same time, the reaction caused by the Baseball League was also the biggest.
Most ordinary people are very excited. In their opinion, this will be a big event. Compared with the regular season, the knockout round is more exciting and intense. The gambling from this is naturally more profitable. Therefore, the people are looking forward to it.
The ministers in the court were very angry. Although the West Garden was in a remote corner, it was still part of the imperial city. It was a very decent thing to gather so many irrelevant people in this place.
What's even more excessive is that according to the arrangements of the baseball league, after the playoffs begin, people must be allowed to enter to watch the event. Wouldn't there be more people entering the Imperial City? How can this be done?
Even those who are high-ranking officials must be summoned by the emperor if they want to enter the imperial city, except for going to court. As a result, the imperial city suddenly opened to a group of untouchables. It is really intolerable!
Yan Chao! This big move that is common in the struggle between the court was released again.
It is said that the news had been spread out at the beginning of the baseball league, but the court officials were in a mess at that time, and were still scared by the messy methods such as Xie Hong's small dark room, so they did not make any reaction.
At that time, there were also a few people who were not afraid of death who were advised, but Zhengde used a small black room to mess with people. The fate of these people is also conceivable. If there are too many chickens, the monkeys will be afraid. The ministers are not stupid. Even though they know they will be unlucky, who will come to seek abuse?
However, today is different from the past. Although the defeat of the Hanlin Academy severely hit everyone's morale, it also aroused the anger of the court officials. Coupled with the hardliners such as Liu Daxia, court officials with different minds all had a great sense of unity, and soon formed a unified voice in the court.
What's more, the original stable distribution is now moving closer to another direction. The court meeting that determined the emperor's wedding made everyone see hope. As long as they advance and retreat together, the emperor will have no choice but to use the outside court.
Everyone doesn't know if something big will happen, but as long as you show your complete strength, the emperor is not a fool, can't he see the gap in strength? Will he still insist on doing his own way after seeing this gap?
The court officials became more and more excited. They jointly signed and pricked blood, and knelt on their advice outside Chengtian Gate. They could see different methods of advice every day, and the content of advice became more and more abundant. For example, those advice that no one dared to propose some time ago were proposed. Now some people have proposed it, and there are many memorials for impeachment or advice.
Under such circumstances, Xie Hong's early move to the playoffs will of course arouse the reaction of the foreign leader.
However, although the court officials' reaction was huge, it was not because of vigilance, but because the existence of Jiaziyuan destroyed the system, or everything related to Xie Hong destroyed the system and needed to be corrected. The court officials were not good at people and things, and as long as it was related to Xie Hong, they were within the scope of their opposition.
Canceling the Ivy Academy, banning the baseball league, dismissing the imperial villages such as Zhenbaozhai, Houdefang, disbanding the Nanzhenfusi, and expelling the border troops... In the end, all the demands gathered into six words: protect the country and punish Xie Hong!
This tide of impeachment and advice came quickly and violently, both beyond Xie Hong's expectations and beyond his expectations.
After Zeng Jian's reminder, Xie Hong had made the worst plan, and of course he would not be mentally prepared for the attack of the foreign court. Moreover, according to convention, generally speaking, if the external court suffers a blow, it will be calm for a period of time. The specific length of time depends on the intensity of the blow.
It has been more than a month since that lecture. The courtiers should have recovered almost the same, so new actions should be taken.
However, Xie Hong did not expect that the Outer Dynasty would suddenly act like a complete liquidation. He was a little confused. He didn't know if the other party was determined to make a big move. Otherwise, they should have known very clearly that Zhengde would not agree to any of these requests.
With such doubts, Xie Hong also instructed his two major intelligence systems - Midnight and Scouts to operate with all their strength, and Midnight increased the intensity of intelligence collection; the scouts' reconnaissance scope was larger and more targeted.
The collected information made Xie Hong feel relieved. The Beijing troops did not transfer any mobilization, and there was no bigwig in charge of the impeachment tide. It was basically the spontaneous behavior of low-level officials.
However, the five cities' military personnel had some abnormal movements.
After being defeated by Xie Hong in the street that day, the military officials were still scared. Their appeals were made to the outside world, not only did they dare not face the Nanzhen Fushi, but they even restrained themselves a lot when dealing with ordinary people.
However, in recent days, the military personnel have suddenly become arrogant again. Although they still dare not face the men of the Nanzhen Fushi, their efforts and frequency of patrols have increased, and a large number of people have been sent out in a single batch, all of which have caused considerable trouble to the scouts under Monkey.
"Liu Daxia is a desperate old man." After receiving the reward from the monkey, Xie Hong also shook his head and sighed. This old man, who is known for his stubbornness, has a turtle smell. Well, as long as he determines the target, he will not let go after biting it.
The Five City Military and Ma Si declared to the outside world that the emperor's wedding was about to come, so the Military and Ma Si had to take on the responsibility of defending the security of the capital and maintaining a harmonious situation. But how could such a statement be hidden from Xie Hong? The Military and Ma Si was under Liu Daxia's jurisdiction. The old man was already making trouble and causing trouble. He said that the Military and Ma Si's actions were not due to his instruction. Who would believe it?
"The actions of the Bingmasi may have been instructed by Liu Dongshan. However, although Liu Dongshan is old, this tide of turmoil..." Zeng Jian pondered slightly, and after a long time, he said: "It seems to be a different mystery. Nephew, you must know that although the censors are in the same spirit, if there is no strong person in the middle, spontaneousness alone cannot set off such a turmoil of turmoil."
"Is it Liu Jian?" Xie Hong frowned, and was puzzled.
Since entering Beijing, except for the time when welcoming the sage, the sensational tide has become loud this time. The time in the suburbs of Beijing was all officials, and Liu Jian instructed the Censorate, which made such a big scene. It can be seen that without the approval of the cabinet ministers, the storm of the storm would not appear easily, and it would not be too big if it appeared.
Now that Xie Qian is ill at home, Li Dongyang is known for his stability. He should not have chosen to cause such a big storm on the eve of the emperor's wedding, so that only Liu Jian is the most suspicious.
If Liu Jian was really doing the storm, then the matter would be really big. The Chief Auxiliary and the Minister of War were only one level apart, but their influence and power were very different. If Liu Jian made up his mind and even took the test, then a major change would probably be imminent.
"It's not very similar." Zeng Jian shook his head, "Liu Xixian's style has always been the right time to take action. It's not as sure as it is more than 80% sure. It's a huge difficulty to let him take action. Although the turmoil was used frequently in the past court struggles and was quite effective, it actually did not have much effect on the emperor and nephew, haha, otherwise you wouldn't have entered Guangding Sect at the beginning."
Zeng Jian smiled and continued, "With Liu Xixian's experience, how could he not know the reason? He should not do this meaningless thing. This time, I have to look at it... It seems that someone is forcing Liu Xixian to make a decision with the tide of voice."
"Who could it be?" Xie Hong thought intently, and listed the court officials who had a grudge against him in his heart and carefully measured it. However, he soon gave up on this move. There were too many people who had grudges against him. Even if they only counted those who had stepped on him, they could not count them. Don't mention those who he didn't remember after stepping on him.
Could it be that these people have reached a tacit understanding because of their common hatred goal? An inexplicable idea emerged from Xie Hong's mind.
"Sir, Mr. Zeng, caught another strange spy..." The person who came to report the news was a scout under Monkey. Because of the actions of the Five City Military Commanders, Monkey himself took action more times.
Regarding the ability to detect and conceal the traces, Monkey is much stronger than his subordinates. Even if the five cities' military commanders increase their efforts to patrol the city, he can still come and go freely.
Xie Hong was not surprised to catch the spy. During this period, the spies would certainly not be idle either. The young men who entered the palace paid attention to it. The thousand-class men of the Military Equipment Department were the focus of the court officials. After all, these people have a reputation, and if they were confused by these people, they would be a little trouble.
Even Wang Yue thought so. Among the spies he caught during this period, there were quite a few sent out from the palace. Xie Hong's approach to these spies was still the same as before. It is useless to retreat at this time. If he really showed his timidity, it would probably increase the morale of the courtiers, which would be counterproductive.
There are many spies, and there are many strange ones. For example, the eunuchs sent out in the palace, which can be regarded as special spies. However, the ones that can make the scouts come to report to them are really strange spies, such as Xia Ru's father-in-law...
"It's the old man again?" Xie Hong asked with a smile.
"This time I'm not an old man, but a young man..." The scout's expression was a bit strange, "Well, it seems to be a scholar, he claims to be a Shuji..."
"Ah?" Zeng Jian and Xie Hong both exclaimed in surprise.
Shuji Shi, also known as Shuchang, the name comes from the meaning of "Shuchang Jishi" in the "Book of Books? Li Zheng". It was originally established during the Hongwu period and later became customized.
From the first grade of the imperial examination and Jinshi, he was awarded the Hanlin editor and editor. From the second grade and third grade, he chose young and talented people to join the Hanlin Academy to serve as a Shuji scholar, which is called "Selecting the Pavilion".
In general, it is equivalent to the training students of the Party School in later generations. Although they have no power, they will definitely have a bright future after graduation.
It is indeed a very strange thing for such a person to suddenly come to the Military Equipment Department. It is unlikely that he will use Shujishi as a spy? Isn't this possible? It would be more credible to say that he took the wrong path.
But if it is said that it is another reason, what can it be? It is impossible!
The hatred between Hanlin Academy and Xie Hong is so high-spirited. Isn’t that Hanlin scholar Zhang Yuanzhen just angry to death by Xie Hong? What’s more, Xie Hong brought the face of these great talents in front of the whole world. What kind of hatred can be greater than this hatred?
Besides, if someone really wants to surrender, it should have been a few days ago. Xie Hongzheng was at the forefront of power a few days ago. Although he is not on the verge of despair now, it seems that he is in a turmoil outside. How unhappy would he be when he comes to surrender at this time?
"Has he reported his name?" Xie Hong sighed. He was a cultural person after all. Please ask first. If you don't even dare to report your name, it's probably fake, so you don't have to be polite. If it's true... I'm afraid it's a counter-espionage plan or something?
The scout bowed and replied loudly: "He claimed to be the Shuji Yan Song."
