Chapter 520 Cover Up
Zhengde staggered into the Fengtian Hall and did not walk calmly in the court. He was really confused. The rebellion of the vassal king is not comparable to the people*. These are two different concepts. The civil rebellion is a rebellion, and although the rebellion of the vassal king is also called rebellion, they are the descendants of the Zhu and the blood of the Taizu. If you talk about it seriously Come on, this is a struggle for power within the royal family.
In this power struggle, many people's attitude is not so clear, because no matter who finally seizes the throne or the Zhu family, this is actually the most terrible. There are countless such things in the past dynasties, and not to mention the changes of the Xuanwumen of Li and Tang, no one said that Li Shimin was a rebellion in later generations. It was difficult for the king of Yan to seize the throne in the Ming Dynasty, and now no one says that he is wrong. On the contrary, there are many people who praise meritorious deeds. The seriousness of the problem is self-evident. Even political idiots like Zhengde, Understand the key.
The ministers were buzzing and discussing. Seeing Zhengde breaking in in panic, they hurriedly saluted in unison. Zhengde was not in the mood to engage in these red tape. He waved his hand and asked, "Where did you get the news? Is it true?"
Yang Tinhe said, "Your Majesty, Yang Yiqing, the chief system officer of the three sides, and Song Nan, the commander of Jinyiwei, jointly played."
Zhengde suddenly remembered that Song Nan was still in Ningxia Town and quickly asked, "Where is Song Nan? Why didn't he go back to Beijing?"
Yang Tinhe said: "It is said that Song Nan is well aware of Zhu Yu's evil heart and has been strictly monitored by him and can't get out. Yang Yiqing, under the cover of official business, escaped from Ningxia Town the day before the rebellion. At this time, he is sitting in Lingzhou to transfer troops and gather.
Zhengde said again, "Why didn't this memorial be sent to me? On the contrary, I was the last one to know."
Yang Tinghe looked at Liu Jin with an uncertain look and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Song Nan and Yang Yiqing's memorial is particularly noted that they cannot be made by the governor. In fact, Song Nan wants to report directly to the emperor through Nanzhen Fusi, and I don't know what he means, and there are many details that the cabinet has not known. Sun Xuan of Nanzhen Fusi is in the palace. The emperor can ask him."
Zhengde glanced and said, "Where is Sun Xuan?"
Sun Xuan appeared from the last class and walked forward to salute. Zhengde asked, "Where's the memorial? What else did Song Nan say?
Sun Xuan hurriedly presented the memorial. Zhengde quickly looked at it a few times, patted it on the dragon case, and then listened to Sun Xuan: "The emperor, the messenger who sent the memorial can no longer move because of the three-night and two-day gallop. After his mouth conveyed Lord Song's words, Wei minister relayed it to the emperor."
Zhengde said, "Come on."
"The rebellious king Zhu Xiaoqi rebelled on the evening of the 19th of the first month. Jiang Han, the general of Ningxia Town, the governor An Weixue, the eunuch of the town army Li Zeng, and Zhou Dongjun were killed that night. Zhou Ang, He Jin, Qiu Yue, the commanders of the three guards of Ningxia, etc. have all defected to the rebel king. In the control, the whole area of Ningxia Town has been occupied by the rebels.
The ministers made waves of exclamation, and they did not know these things. Although Sun Xuan immediately notified the cabinet after receiving the letter, and the cabinet notified the six civil and military officials, but the memorial was not submitted, because it was specially requested by Yang Yiqing and Song Nan.
Zhengde leaned over and asked, "Can't you Lord Song get out? Isn't he going to be killed in the city?"
Sun Xuan said, "Your Majesty forgives the crime. Lord Song confessed that some things can't be said in the court. Weichen needs to be reported alone. Lord Song said that it is about the rebellion, and the safety of the community should not be taken lightly."
Zhengde wondered, "Why did he say that?"
Yang Tinghe and others also said dissatisfiedly, "What is Song Nan covering up for such a big event?"
Sun Xuan said, "Your Majesty forgives your sins. Lord Song said that Zhu Yuyu's rebellion has been prepared for a long time and has been premeditated. There are countless grain, grass and weapons in the royal palace. He suspects that there must be assistance in the court. In extraordinary times, it is very serious. Even if you have complaints, you can't take care of it."
The ministers were in an uproar and whispered. Song Nan's words were very clear. Song Nan suspected that someone in the court colluded with Zhu Wei to help him, so he could not announce all the details in court.
Zhengde thought for a moment and said, "That's all, you can come to see me alone later."
Sun Xuan said, "I obeyed the order, and Lord Song also said that although he knew the omens in advance, Zhu Yuqi rose quickly. He hoped that the court would not delay and immediately order the encirclement and suppress it without giving the rebels a chance to strengthen. Lord Yang Yiqing has mobilized soldiers and horses from Guyuan, Pingliang, Yan'an, Yansui and other places to gather in Lingzhou. Please transfer some soldiers and horses to assist. Lord Song, please reassure the emperor that he has made a plan to quickly extinguish this chaos.
Zhengde said happily, "It turns out that Song Nan and Yang Yi had a plan in the morning. Well, I am relieved. Immediately, Song Nan is the governor of the rebellion, Yang Yiqing is the deputy, and Zhang Yong is the middle officer. Since they want the assistance of the Beijing camp, they let the Shenshu camp go. What do you think?"
The ministers agreed one after another. It was the first time that the emperor decided so quickly. Song Nan and Yang Yiqing were in the northwest. No one could take away the position of rebel governor, but everyone was full of doubts. Song Nan mysteriously spread a lot of words to Sun Xuan, and Sun Xuan mysteriously wanted to the emperor, as if What's the secret in it?
There is a vague feeling in everyone's hearts that something big may happen in the court.
......
In the study of Qianqing Palace, Zhengde ordered all the people to withdraw, leaving only Sun Xuan in the room. Liu Jin wanted to stay, but was ruthlessly scolded by Zhengde.
"Sun Xuan, what on earth is Song Nan going to tell me?"
"Your Majesty, although Lord Song is aware of Zhu Yu's rebellious heart, he can't stop it. Before the rebellion, two guards in Ningxia's three guards fell into the hands of the rebellious king, but there was no evidence, so he could not transfer troops to stop it in time. I hope the emperor can forgive this."
"How can I blame him? It's not his fault."
"Lord Song said that Qiu Yu's former guard was persuaded by him to return to Zhu Yu, so Zhu Yu chose to rebel so soon, because he had mastered all the soldiers in Ningxia Town."
Zhengde was stunned and said, "Why did Song Nan do this?"
"Lord Song pretended to surrender. This is the plan set by Lord Song and Qiu Yu. Lord Song said that since Zhu Yuqi wants to rebel, this day will always come sooner or later. Instead of waiting for him to be fully prepared, it is better to force him to do it as soon as possible. It's better to have a short pain than a long pain. Destroy him in one fell swoop."
Zhengde thought for a moment and said, "I don't understand this, but Song Nan's arrangement must have his reason. Is Song Nan really sure that he can solve this matter quickly? I'm still very worried."
Sun Xuan said, "It's not that the emperor doesn't know Lord Song's ability. Lord Song is now hiding in Qiu Yu's military camp. Once the opportunity comes, he will dig his heart out with Qiu Yu. The reason why he doesn't say these things in the court is that he is afraid of revealing Lord Song's whereabouts, which is related to Lord Song. Yu Yu's life is related to the success of the rebellion, and it can't be taken lightly.
Zhengde nodded and said, "So that's it, but does Song Nan really think that someone has colluded with the rebels? I think Song Nan is too worried. It shouldn't be like this.
Sun Xuan said, "Your Majesty, I just reported Lord Song's words to the emperor. How did the emperor choose Weichen? From the perspective of the minister, he naturally believed Lord Song's words. Lord Song was almost stabbed to death when he entered Ningxia. He must know something from it, and the rest of the ministers dare not guess more."
Zhengde was shocked and said, "Someone dares to assassinate Song Nan? That may only be the traitor Zhu Yuqi. Didn't Song Nan understand his conspiracy? Zhu Yuyu must be trying to kill people.
Sun Xuan said, "If it's really Zhu Wei, it's okay, but as far as I know, it's not him, but someone else."
Zhengde was stunned and said, "Let me ask Song Nan personally about this matter. Now the most important thing is to suppress the rebellion. Does Song Nan have anything else to say?"
Sun Xuan shook his head and said, "I have relayed everything. Please leave."
Zhengde nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Sun Xuan withdrew and saw Liu Jin standing on the corridor. He wanted to take a detour, but Liu Jin stopped him and said, "Sun Zhenfu, have you finished talking to the emperor?"
Sun Xuan smiled and said, "Yes, my father-in-law can go to serve the emperor."
Liu Jin said, "Your Lord Song is really busy. You arrived in Ningxia Town in the blink of an eye. Just now, you said that your Lord Song is still in Ningxia Town and has not escaped. King Anhua has rebelled. He is too dangerous in Ningxia City. It's not good for you subordinates to find a way to save him out."
Sun Xuan said, "Lord Song will not worry about his life. He has his own moderation."
Liu Jin shook his head and said, "Lord Song is now an important minister of the imperial court. It's not a good thing to be so adventurous, but it is estimated that such a shrewd person as Song Nan will definitely protect himself. We guess that your adult must want to copy the nest of the royal palace together inside and outside, right?"
Sun Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. I never inquire about the whereabouts of adults."
Liu Jin smiled and said, "Sun Zhenfu's speech is getting smoother and smoother, and there are many talents in Jinyiwei, which is really rare. Our family is just concerned about the safety of your adult and asked casually. By the way, your adult hinted that someone colluded with Zhu Yuqi in the court. Who is this person? Can you reveal one or two? Our family can also ask Dongchang Tiqi to help you investigate; if there is really such a person in the court, it should be dug out as soon as possible.
Sun Xuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Excellency, you can't say it without evidence. I didn't dare to believe it when the emperor asked just now."
Liu Jin pointed to Sun Xuan and said with a smile, "It's not true. What if we talk to our family privately? Even if your Lord Song, if I ask him in private, he will tell me.
Sun Xuan laughed and said, "Grandpa Liu still has a chance to ask Lord Song by himself. I can't miss a word here."
The displeasure on Liu Jin's face flashed away and said with a smile, "Isn't your lord referring to our family?"
Sun Xuan smiled and said, "All Wenwu in the Man Dynasty are possible; but Grandpa Liu is the most unlikely one. Who doesn't know that Grandpa Liu is the most loyal to the emperor?"
Liu Jin laughed and said, "Well, I won't delay you as a busy person. The road is slippery in the dark. You should be careful when walking, Sun Zhenfu."
Sun Xuan arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your concern. You should also be careful, Grandpa Liu. You have gained more weight recently, and your walking will be more unstable."
