Chapter 721 Guangning defeat
Among the ministers present at the court, except for a few who did not speak, most of the rest supported Hui Shiyang's opinion.
Wang Huazhen was Ye Xianggao's student. Most of the ministers present at the court were Donglin Party members or ministers close to the Donglin Party. Naturally, he supported Wang Huazhen to stay in Liaodong.
Ye Xianggao said at this time: "Since everyone has made a decision, after going back, all the adults will write a question together and hand it over to the emperor. Next, all the adults will discuss the candidates for the strategy."
Liaodong's rule was not a good position, but since the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty, Liaodong rule has become a hot commodity. The court gave Liaodong no less than one million taels of Liao's salary to Liaodong every year. Civil and military officials from all over the Liaodong can share many benefits, among which the position of the strategy is the top priority.
Although the Later Jin Dynasty won several battles, in the eyes of many ministers in the court, the Later Jin Dynasty was just a disease of scabies and would sooner or later be wiped out by the Ming Dynasty.
"The officials thought that in order to ensure that there were no more disagreements in the affairs of the magistrate, the Liaodong governor and the governor should be one person." An official present at the court held a speech.
His words attracted the recognition of many ministers.
Many people saw the disagreement between Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen, so the strategy and the governor were the same as each other to avoid such disagreement from happening again.
"The officials thought that Lord Zhang could replace Xiong Tingbi as the governor of Liaodong." Hui Shiyang said.
At the same time, his eyes looked at Zhang Heming.
Zhou Chaorui said: "Mr. Zhang has always supported Mr. Wang's countermeasures against the Later Jin Dynasty in Liaodong, so the officials also believed that Mr. Zhang was suitable for taking over the position of Liaodong's General Manager."
After he finished speaking, no one was present.
Many people looked back and forth at Zhang Heming, Hui Shiyang and Zhou Chaorui.
Everyone present was talented. The reason why Zhang Heming was able to take over as Minister of War was because Wang Xiangqian was appointed as the governor of Ji and Liao. Now someone suggested that Zhang Heming be appointed as the governor of Liaodong, and the position of Minister of War would be vacant again.
The ministers in the court all understood that once Zhang Heming left the capital and took office as the Liaodong General, whether he was appointed as the Liaodong General, or the Liaodong General for only a period of time, even if he returned to Beijing in the future, he would no longer be the position of Minister of War.
Zhang Heming hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think that in order to prevent any further misunderstandings from being involved in the affairs of the tutor, it is better not to set up a position of governor and serve as a full-time governor."
None of the other ministers present spoke.
This has already involved the position of Minister of War. Many people have not figured out what is going on and are unwilling to intervene.
"Mr. Zhang should not be modest. The official thought that the position of Liaodong governor is the most suitable one." Hui Shiyang said with a smile.
Zhang Heming frowned.
He could feel that there was a force against him in secret.
At this time, footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the house, and soon a person walked in from outside.
"Who asked you to come in!" Zhang Heming's face darkened when he saw the visitor and said in a bad tone.
The visitor glanced at Zhang Heming, but ignored him, and went directly to Ye Xianggao's heels and whispered: "Sir, it's not good. Liaodong just sent back the news that Governor Wang and Xiong Jingluo were defeated and Guangning was lost."
"What?" Ye Xianggao Yi was shocked and the cover bowl in his hand fell to the ground.
The ministers in the room looked at Ye Xianggao.
Seeing Ye Xianggao's out-of-compassion look, many people realized that something big happened.
"Sir, is something wrong?" Zhang Heming asked.
Ye Xianggao stood up and said to the ministers in the room: "I need to meet the emperor immediately. As for what happened, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat will tell you all."
After saying that, he walked outside the house without looking back.
When the ministers present saw Ye Xianggao hurried to meet the saint, their hearts were shocked, and they knew that something must have happened.
At this time, everyone's eyes looked at the Secretariat who had just come in.
Everyone in the house knew that this person was Wang Wenyan, the Zhongshu Sheshou Sheikan beside Ye Xianggao. He had an extraordinary status in the Donglin Party.
Before Wang Wenyan could ask the people in the room, he took the initiative to speak: "Just just received an urgent report from Liaodong, Guangning was defeated."
After saying the four words "Guangning's defeat", the audience was silent.
Zhang Heming, who had just stood up, fell back to his seat, his face turned pale, and his right hand trembled slightly.
Because of his support as the Minister of War, most of the troops in Liaodong fell into Wang Huazhen's hands. This time, Liaodong was defeated, what he was most worried about was that the court would put the blame on him.
He knew that the position of Minister of War would definitely not be able to be kept, otherwise the political enemies in the court would not let him go.
Many of the ministers in the room looked at Zhang Heming with sympathy.
When Guangning was defeated, he, the Minister of War, could not escape the responsibility. Everyone knew that he, the Minister of War, would definitely be replaced.
"I am going to meet the emperor." Zhang Heming suddenly stood up and walked out of the house.
The court agreed that at this time, there was no need to continue. Guangning had been defeated. No matter what the real reason for the defeat was, Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen were definitely the most guilty. It was certain that they would abandon their posts and abandon their posts, and they could not be avoided. Yang Hao, the Liaodong governor who was defeated by Sarhu, is still in prison.
Some people began to sympathize with Xiong Tingbi.
This time Xiong Tingbi resurrected, it can be said that he did not receive much support from the court. Instead, he was bound by the governor Wang Huazhen everywhere. Many people understand in their hearts that the biggest responsibility for Guangning's defeat lies with Xiong Tingbi, but with Wang Huazhen.
In the Qianqing Palace, Tianqi had a blue face and memorials were scattered on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and you must not get angry." Wei Zhongxian advised him.
The news of Guangning's defeat was naturally delivered to Tianqi of the Qianqing Palace, and this news was brought by Wei Zhongxian himself.
"All these people should be killed." Tianqi said gritting his teeth.
Every year, Liaodong took away a lot of Liao salary from the court. In order to win over the Mongols, he, the emperor, took out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from his own treasury, but in the end he was defeated.
Wei Zhongxian persuaded: "Your Majesty, you have tried your best. It was Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen who were incompetent, which caused Guangning to be defeated."
At this moment, a little eunuch ran in from outside, knelt on the ground, and said, "The emperor, the chief minister of the cabinet, Lord Ye, asked for a meeting."
"Let him come in." Tianqi said coldly.
The little eunuch retreated.
Not long after, Ye Xianggao walked in from outside, lifted his clothes and fell to his knees on the ground, and said, "Old minister, please see the emperor."
As he said that, he looked down at the memorials scattered all over the ground, then at Tianqi's gloomy face, knowing that Guangning's incident had already reached the palace.
"I heard that Wang Huazhen is your student?"
