Chapter 172
"It's said that Wei Zhongxian called several eunuchs and asked them to discuss how to deal with the matter in Xiong Tingbi's report."

"After several eunuchs watched for a while, someone stood up and said at this time, according to Xiong Tingbi's statement, it was the Sichuan army who provoked the trouble, shouldn't it be enough to punish the Sichuan army?"

"Look, Xiong Tingbi is still protecting my family. It was obviously picked by the Liao soldiers, but in his memorial, it becomes the Sichuan army who picked the trouble."

"Although Xiong Tingbi said so in the memorial, and some people suggested punishing the Sichuan army, but at this time someone stood up and argued that Xiong Tingbi is the governor of Liaodong, and he must be protecting his family."

"The implication is that Xiong Tingbi is deliberately fabricating the facts. Perhaps the Sichuan army is not the one that provoked the incident, but the one that was attacked."

"Hey, it makes sense to say that, because Xiong Tingbi is just like that, and someone said that if the Sichuan army is punished, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with the Sichuan army. If the Sichuan army quits, what will Liaodong do?"

"Attention, at that time there were only three troops in Liaodong, namely Xiong Tingbi's own Liao army, Qi's army transferred from Zhejiang, and finally the Sichuan army transferred from Sichuan."

"Needless to say about the combat effectiveness of the Liao soldiers. During the Korean War, the main force was the Liao soldiers' iron cavalry. Although there are not many Liaodong iron cavalry, their combat effectiveness lies there."

"As for the Zhejiang army, that is, the Qi family army, after all, it is an ace force with a great reputation, and it also has easy-to-carry tiger squatting cannons. weak."

"As for the Sichuan army, that is, the white-armed soldiers, they made great achievements when Yang Yinglong rebelled. They were very powerful in combat and participated in the Korean War."

"The most important thing is that Qin Liangyu's husband Ma Qiancheng was framed to death a few years ago. Qin Liangyu still remembers this grudge."

"If Qin Liangyu is dissatisfied because of punishing the Sichuan army, no one knows what Qin Liangyu will do."

"It's fine if she brings people back to Sichuan, but if she rebels, it will undoubtedly deal another heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty, and no one can stand it."

"So the eunuchs repeatedly argued, and some of them said that the Zhejiang soldiers and the Sichuan army are both inland troops. If they are punished, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction between the Zhejiang soldiers and the Sichuan army."

"It's better to just punish the Liao soldiers, so that the Zhejiang soldiers and the Sichuan army can feel at ease, and the situation in Liaodong will not be so tense."

"Hey, someone came forward to refute at this time, saying that the Liao people have four major hatreds, don't you know? Originally, the Liao people generally distrusted the court because of Gaohuai's chaos in the Liao Dynasty. If we punish the Liao soldiers now, maybe the Liao soldiers will only Any remaining combat power will be wiped out."

"So everyone turned their attention to Zhe Bing, but it still didn't work. Why? Zhe Bing is an ace troop, and discipline has been strict since Qi Jiguang's time. If Zhe Bing is accused of making trouble, who would believe it ? Zhejiang soldiers alone can’t accept it.”

"After all, there is still no clue. The eunuchs couldn't explain why, so they told Wei Zhongxian that they should return the memorial and let the cabinet solve it by themselves."

"But Wei Zhongxian raised his hand at this time. He said, we can't solve it. Do you still expect the cabinet to solve it? Maybe if you hit the cabinet, the cabinet will call back to the Ministry of War."

"If this matter remains unresolved, who knows if similar incidents will happen in Tongzhou? If such incidents still occur, who can guarantee that Nurhachi will not take advantage of the fire?"

"People used to think that Wei Zhongxian was a great eunuch who did all kinds of evil, but his other side was rarely known. For example, this incident shows that he is really thinking about the country."

"Although the credit is not worth it, it is undeniable that at that time, Wei Zhongxian controlled the government. When faced with such a matter, the cabinet was powerless, and it seemed that he was the only one who could solve it."

"However, at present, it is impossible to punish anyone. Wei Zhongxian has also committed a difficult situation at this time. If he cannot be punished, should he be rewarded? Encourage them to continue fighting?"

"Of course it's not like this. It's been a day, and the Supervisor of Rituals still hasn't come up with a solution, but at this moment, Xiong Tingbi's second memorial has arrived."

"Xiong Tingbi said it in the memorial. He said that during the period when the court did not reply, the Sichuan army started to make trouble again. He asked the court to make a quick decision to prevent the Sichuan army from causing more trouble."

"The memorial was quickly sent to the cabinet again by the Ministry of War, and the cabinet was not idle, so it immediately sent the memorial to the chief inspector."

"When Wei Zhongxian saw such a memorial again, he also had a headache, thinking about how to solve this matter."

"However, at this moment, the cabinet sent another memorial, but this memorial was not sent by Xiong Tingbi. Who is it? Qin Liangyu!"

"Reporting to the higher level. This is. Although Qin Liangyu's move violated the rules, when Wei Zhongxian saw the content of the memorial, he found that things seemed not so simple."

"Qin Liangyu explained the incident of Tongzhou Rush clearly in the memorial. Obviously, her memorial is obviously different from what Xiong Tingbi reported."

"Xiong Tingbi said it was picked by the Sichuan Army, and Qin Liangyu said it was picked by the Liao Army. This year, Wei Zhongxian did the same thing, so he called the cabinet ministers to discuss it together."

"However, the ministers in the cabinet at that time were a bunch of mobs, and there were no particularly capable ministers, so the cabinet was acting according to the wishes of the chief inspector."

"Wei Zhongxian saw that the cabinet had nothing to do, so he had to send them away. In the end, Wei Zhongxian really had no choice but to punish anyone. In the end, he took the memorial and went to the Qianqing Palace, intending to let Emperor Zhu Youxiao come to the sage. "

"Then after the emperor has seen the memorial, he will order whoever is punished. Even if he orders the Sichuan Army to be punished, what else does the Sichuan Army have to say?"

"This is typical resignation, isn't it? Soon, Wei Zhongxian came to Qianqing Palace. He wanted to find Zhu Youxiao and show him the memorials of Xiong Tingbi and Qin Liangyu."

"What was Zhu Youxiao doing at that time? It is said that Zhu Youxiao is a master carpenter, so he must be doing carpentry, right?"

"Hey, who knows that Zhu Youxiao is different today, what's wrong? Because Wei Zhongxian found out after entering Qianqing Palace that this Zhu Youxiao is actually reading a book!"

"And sitting outside the hall, basking in the sun and reading a book very quietly! Wei Zhongxian didn't pay much attention to what book he was reading at that time, because he still had important matters to be handed over to Zhu Youxiao for adjudication."
