Chapter 544 Running Legs

News from Xiyuan spread in the capital with lightning speed.

Although the yamen had been dispersed at this time, there were also personnel on duty left after the yamen were dispersed.

Emperor Jiajing set a down-to-earth order, and the memorials after the criticism of the redemption were given priority to send them to Wuyi Hall for processing. Soon, the official document was sent to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice.

When left-behind officials saw this, they naturally spread quickly. Overnight, almost all the officials who were socializing outside heard about this.

The Ministry of Justice sent people to various places to lock up the governor of Ji Liao, Yang Xuan, governor Xu Shen, and deputy envoy of the Bing Beidao, and others.

Many officials who had received Yang Xuan’s gifts before were also a little bit waxed at this time.

In their opinion, even if Yang Xuan is responsible for his defeat, he should be impeached by the censor of Kedao. Yang Xuan was dismissed from office, so he would be imprisoned because of this.

Once a person goes to prison, it is hard to say for the subsequent development.

Moreover, everyone actually knows that the person who hates Yang Xuan the most is actually Yang Bo, the Minister of War.

With this great god in power, who can help him speak?

Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng both attended a banquet organized by their colleagues in the Hanlin Academy tonight, and gradually more than 20 people were present in three tables.

Their news was quite late, mainly after Prince Yu's mansion found out the news, he sent someone to inform him home, and then he found him.

Everyone was drinking and drinking. When they were drunk, a little servant appeared at the door of the private room, which naturally made everyone feel a little stunned. It was not until Wei Guangde recognized that he was from Prince Yu's Mansion that the atmosphere was a little better.

He and Zhang Juzheng first accused everyone, and then went out one after another.

"Eunuch Li said, thanks to Lord Wei and Lord Zhang for giving it to him, he almost made a big mistake."

First, the little servant bowed to Wei and Zhang and bowed to each other.

"But what big happened?"

Wei Guangde asked with a frown.

"The news just came out of the palace, the emperor issued an order to take people."

"Who should I take?"

The little servant was interrupted by Wei Guangde and asked after he started.

"Yang Xuan, the governor of Ji Liao, and Xu Shen, the governor of Shuntian."

When the young servant finished reporting the names of several people, Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng looked at each other and knew that Emperor Jiajing had made a big fuss this time.

Because there are a lot of officials involved.

Seeing that Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng were silent, the little servant hesitated for a moment and said, "Listen to the news from the palace, the emperor wants the Ministry of Justice to investigate whether Yang Xuan colludes with the enemy."

"Ah? What do you say?"

Zhang Juzheng spoke first this time in surprise.

In fact, Wei Guangde was also very surprised at this time. How could the governor of the Ming Dynasty collude with the enemy? What a joke?

Nowadays, there is no saying that foreign monks can recite scriptures. Han people are generally very proud of being wise people, and they look down on foreigners as barbarians.

Emperor Jiajing actually believed those rumors?

Wei Guangde only felt a little funny. Isn’t this too unconfident?

"I don't know the specifics, I just heard what the people in the palace say is like."

The servant was obviously someone Li Fang trusted, otherwise he would never have heard of these secrets, and he might even know who the eyeliner installed in the palace by Prince Yu’s mansion.

However, this has little to do with Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng, and even the people arrested have nothing to do with them.

Whether it is Wei Guangde or Zhang Juzheng, he will never like those positions. He will not be a good official in Beijing and will go out for foreign affairs.

"There are two urgent matters that the cabinet has dealt with urgently today. In addition to taking people, it is also necessary to send an order to make Jiangdong go back to the court."

The little eunuch said again.

"Jiangdong?"

"Who is Xuan Da?"

Xiaonei seemed to hear them say this, so he nodded.

"What should he do when he comes back? Could it be that he will replace the Ministry of War?"

Wei Guangde said in surprise.

He knew that Jiangdong was still the Minister of Internal Affairs because he sued Governor Yang Shun of Xuanda, and then Yang Shun was taken back to the capital for questioning.

Although Yan Song was protected, he could not be the official, and the one who replaced Yang Shun was Jiang Dong, the Minister of War.

"The emperor said that he would assist Yang Shangshu in reconciling his merits."

So, the little eunuch told the news that Jiangdong led the Datong army to ambush the Mongolian Huangtaiji tribe at the Pigeon Cave at the Great Wall Pass, and forced him to withdraw from the Great Wall from Longwangyu.

"So, the people who made contributions this time were Governor Xuanda."

After hearing the eunuch's words, Wei Guangde couldn't help but chuckled: "Lord Jiang's life is really good, so he has made a contribution."

"Jiangdong may replace Yang Xuan."

Zhang Juzheng said, but his mind was not on this.

He knew that there was someone who chose his teacher in his mind and received Yang Bo's support, which was actually a kind of exchange.

Although the Governor takes military affairs and civil affairs into the jurisdiction, he actually focuses more on military affairs. He needs to pass the governor's level when he is involved in civil affairs.

Although the governor can suppress the governor in most cases, he is not a direct supervisor after all.

In this way, the Ministry of War actually has the greatest voice in choosing the governor.

This is also the reason why Xu Jie agreed to help Yang Bo defeat Yang Xuan.

Xu Jie was in the court with a big tree and deep roots, there were too many people in his pocket, and the court's official positions were fixed.

Everyone wants to make progress, so they can only find ways to get more official positions.

Yang Bo needs to get his support to defeat Yang Xuan, and there are naturally third-rank officials waiting to get ahead in his pocket.

This is also considered political mutual benefit.

Exchange, everything is exchange.

If you want to get, you must give something, and everyone will be happy.

As for future struggles, we will use our own means.

The conversation in Xiyuan that day was well known to the officials in the capital at this time.

Emperor Jiajing was very angry at the invasion of the enemy. When he saw the fire at night, Xu Jie said bluntly that it was Yang Xuan who was indifferent, saying that the enemy was in the north and Yang Xuan went south, as if he could resist the invasion of the Tartars.

Afterwards, Yang Xuan reported three times a day, and even made great contributions, hoping to divert the emperor's attention.

But the news of Sun Bin's defeat was soon heard back, which was a slap in the face.

By this time, Yang Xuan's ending was actually destined.

Emperor Jiajing could not tolerate being deceived, and Yang Xuan was blatantly deceiving the emperor.

Wei Guangde didn't know what was going on, but seeing Zhang Juzheng's face was unstable, he naturally didn't know that he was worried about his teacher.

However, if Wei Guangde knew about it, he would only smile, because even if Jiang Dong took over Yang Xuan's official position, Governor Xuan would be vacant. In fact, it was just a change to a Governor, and it was not a big deal.

Therefore, after seeing off the eunuch, Wei Guangde smiled at Zhang Juzheng and said, "When did we ask Yang Shangshu for a glass of wine? I heard that he didn't like Yang Xuan very much.

Now that Yang Xuan’s fall is a foregone conclusion, he may be drinking secretly at home to celebrate.”

"Haha. You're coming to the door to find a scolding. Lord Yang is the kind of petty person."

Zhang Juzheng just smiled and responded to a few words casually.

Wei Guangde said this in front of Zhang Juzheng, but in fact he had to understand the truth first.

I originally planned to wait two days before going to find Yang Xuan, but in a few days, Jiangdong would go back to the capital to participate in the Ministry of War’s remarks. Wei Guangde still remembered that Ma Fang mentioned in his previous letter that he had not done.

Yes, Wei Guangde mentioned Dong Yikui that day, of course it was not a whim.

Ma Fang knew that Dong Yiyuan was the first person to join Wei Guangde's disciple, so he took good care of his brother Dong Yikui.

In that letter, one thing was mentioned, that is, the position of the general of Shanxi Town was suspended for half a year and no one had been arranged to take over.

Dong Yikui has the intention to do this job.

Ma Fang had previously tested the meaning of Governor Xuanda Jiangdong, but Jiangdong did not agree, but he did not object.

Of course he understood the truth, that is, although Shanxi Town is under the jurisdiction of his Governor Xuanda, the appointment of the general officer is not his final say. It is to appoint the Ministry of War in the capital, at most it is to consult his opinions.

Of course, Jiangdong would not be confused about this matter. If he wanted to be an official, he would go to the capital by himself.

This time, leading troops into the aid was considered a great contribution. He took this opportunity to let Dong Yikui go to Shanxi to take charge.

Jiangdong is going to go back to the capital, so he just took this opportunity to see if he could get things done.
