"Zuo Liangyu must be eliminated!" Zhang Mingwei gave a conclusive conclusion, "Whether it is supporting the army and respecting itself, or plundering the people, ruining the reputation of the court, or fleeing from the battle, it is all a capital crime!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little surprised and said, "Since Mr. already knows, why did he ...... just now?"

"The key now is ......" Zhang Mingwei listened and said helplessly, "I'm afraid the court can't help him, right?" Even if a warrior goes to deliver the decree, captures the thief first, captures the king first, and takes him down, can you guarantee that his subordinates are obedient? You know, if he does those things, his subordinates must have a share. Even if the imperial court promised to pardon them and only punish them, wouldn't they be worried about the imperial court settling accounts after the autumn? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Mingwei said solemnly: "Only if they have scruples, for example, most of the soldiers dare not rebel against the imperial court, or the imperial court has a strong army to coerce, in this case, and then use the thunderous means of capturing the king, it will be effective." ”

"Sir's words are exactly where my concerns lie!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he also showed helplessness, sighed and said, "And there are many such remarks in the court, and there are even good things to say for him, I am really jealous." However, a similar trend must not rise! I have already issued an order to Sun Chuanting last month, and the crime will be He Renlong! ”

This is obviously a persimmon picking up soft pinch, He Renlong's strength is not comparable to Zuo Liangyu, and he does not pay attention to the Chinese officials of the court, so he has become the object of the imperial court's anger.

Speaking of which, this He Renlong is also unlucky. In the past, he had always worked hard to hunt down the thieves. However, in order to die, Yang Sichang played tricks on him and wanted him to work harder, but as a result, he did not fulfill his promise, which finally aroused He Renlong's dissatisfaction.

Subsequently, He Renlong saw that Zuo Liangyu did not contribute to work, escaped from the battle, looted places, and did not listen to the commander's orders, anyway, all kinds of things that broke through the bottom line were being done, but they were all right. He began to do the same, did all kinds of things that broke through the bottom line, and even killed the governor Qiao Wannian, and finally brought him a killing opportunity.

In this regard, Zhang Mingwei didn't feel that he was resentful, since he had done so many things that could not be violated, it was absolutely right for the court to kill him.

Thinking about this, he explained to Emperor Chongzhen: "I suggest that I send the court's proposal to Zuo Liangyu to defend himself, in fact, it is to warn him and let him restrain a little." He's a smart guy, and as long as he doesn't really play the banner of rebellion, he'll definitely relent. In this way, it is always a good thing for the imperial court. After we have a certain strength, we will clean him up, which can be regarded as a delaying tactic! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded again and again: "Yes, Mr.'s response is very good, and I am very relieved!" Unlike those in the court, who either sell their fame or speak for Zuo Liangyu, there is no one who can really do things. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei frowned slightly, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I think that Liu Zongzhou is still good. Regardless of whether he sells his reputation or not, at least he can maintain the imperial court. Isn't he the imperial history of the left capital? Good location. His Majesty should encourage him more, so that the responsibility of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise the hundred officials can be reflected to some extent, so that they can have some scruples. ”

Judging from what we have learned so far, it is good that this Liu Zongzhou can put forward righteous words, such as commending Lu Xiangsheng and pursuing Yang Sichang and Zuo Liangyu.

However, he did not provide a concrete analysis and a really feasible method. It is equivalent to him throwing out a problem, indicating that he is a clear stream, but how to solve it is lost to the imperial court, no wonder Emperor Chongzhen thinks that he is selling his reputation.

As far as Zhang Mingwei is concerned, this Liu Zongzhou may be the kind of pedantic scholar who can say or can't do it.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen listened to Zhang Mingwei's proposal, and immediately remembered the list he saw last night, so he nodded and said, "Sir's meaning is to make the best use of things." I've been taught! ”

This is a good student, he listens to his own words, and his comprehension ability is not bad! Zhang Mingwei thought a little proudly in his heart, and then said to Emperor Chongzhen seriously: "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, soon the thieves will attack the seal, and then Your Majesty will issue an order to urge Sun Chuanting to come out of the customs to rescue." ”

This is the benefit of the later generations, Emperor Chongzhen thought so in his heart, so he hurriedly asked, "What advice does Mr. have?" ”

Zhang Mingwei said solemnly: "There is a saying in later generations, Sun Chuanting died and Daming died!" ”

"Oh?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He really didn't expect that later generations would have such a high evaluation of Sun Chuanting.

The reason why he was surprised was because Sun Chuanting did not have a good impression in him. Not to mention that Sun Chuanting had an opinion about him when he was King Qin in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, pretended to be sick and negative, and finally arrested Sun Chuanting and sent him to prison. Of course, there is a credit to Yang Sichang in this.

In addition, when Emperor Chongzhen released Sun Chuanting at the beginning of the year, Sun Chuanting boasted that he only needed 5,000 elite soldiers to quell the rebellion, but it didn't take long for him to change his tune, saying that he would train 20,000 soldiers and pay 1 million in silver.

This change of tone made Emperor Chongzhen very unhappy, so his impression was even worse. If it weren't for the fact that no one was available, it is estimated that Sun Chuanting would have come from and go back there.

Zhang Mingwei had learned about this history and knew these thoughts of Emperor Chongzhen, so he explained to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, think about it, Sun Chuanting was dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's power during the Apocalypse and resigned and returned to his hometown, which should be able to see that he has backbone, which is different from ordinary officials, right?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, and he did not deny this.

"It was Sun Chuanting who led the troops to defeat the biggest thief in the early days, and captured Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, alive, right?"

This is a fact, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't deny it, so he nodded again.

"It's Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou who joined forces to ambush heavy troops in Tongguan, so that only eighteen Li thieves escaped, right?"

is still a fact, Emperor Chongzhen can only nod.

"Sun Chuanting led the troops to Qin Wang, but he was framed and excluded and imprisoned, but after being in prison for so many years, His Majesty wants to use him, and he has no hesitation, and he is loyal to the court and His Majesty! As for the miscalculation of the thief, it is because he has been locked up in prison all these years, he must not have expected that the other people in the court would be so useless and let the thief sit to this point, so he miscalculated, right? ”

"This?" Emperor Chongzhen was still a little hesitant about this statement. According to his understanding, how could Sun Chuanting be framed, otherwise, he would not have ordered Sun Chuanting to be arrested and imprisoned. However, this is what Zhang Mingwei said, so it shouldn't be false!

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be a little hesitant, Zhang Mingwei explained to him: "Actually, Sun Chuanting's fall to such a point has something to do with his character. Did Your Majesty ever know that when he was training troops in Qindi, when the food and salary were very small, why did he train an elite Qin soldier and beat the thieves? ”

"Why?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately became very interested, if Sun Chuanting's method of training soldiers was really useful, it would be great!

Who knew that Zhang Mingwei did not answer him immediately, but added: "Actually, there are still things, including the ending of Lu Xiangsheng's final death in battle, which is not strange at all." ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was slightly stunned, Mr. changed the topic too quickly, what does this mean?

However, his intuition told him that Mr. would inevitably reveal the truth of a very big matter, which made him even more expectant, and hurriedly urged: "Sir, please speak quickly!" ”
