Zhu Cihong thought for a while with a gloomy face: "According to the law, the cabinet ministers should indeed be the six bachelors. But Chen Zilong's rebellion is already known to the world, and if I want him to return to the cabinet, this thing will not work! If I had made such an example, the world would have treated the law as nothing. ”

Qian Sule had no choice but to respond: "Your Majesty is right, but if you don't have a suitable position, you won't be able to get twice the result with half the effort, and please consider it." ”

Zhu Cihong got up and took two steps and said, "Although I have removed Chen Zilong's official position, the young master and the official are still there, so ...... Let him be given the title of advisor, and in this way, the errand will be justified. ”

When Qian Sule heard this, he sighed slightly in his heart, knowing that the emperor had a deep prejudice against Chen Zilong.

However, this advisory is also suitable, although there is no rank and no title, but the power can be large or small.

That is, the advisory government is not a permanent official position, it is temporary.

was a little wronged by Chen Zilong.

At this time, Zhu Cihong said to Qian Sule with a pleasant face: "I just said, according to the law, the cabinet is six scholars, the Taifu is loyal to the imperial court, and the hard work is high, I want to invite the Taifu to enter the cabinet again, and the position of the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is still vacant, I intend to let the Taifu concurrently serve, I don't know what the Taifu wants?" ”

Qian Sule thought for a while, bowed down and said, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

……。

After Qian Sule left, he saw Qian Qianyi coming out of the back screen.

Zhu Cihong said: "Does Qian Qing think what Taifu said is credible? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Taifu's loyalty is still credible, at least in the matter of resisting the Qing army's attack, Taifu will not have any dissenting intentions. It's just that......? ”

"Just what?"

"It's just for the sleepers......."

"You might as well say it."

"Wozi is also an upright person, but his personality is paranoid, since he has openly rebelled, he will not give up easily. Jiangnan scholars are almost inextricably linked to Wozi, and even far away in Shuntianfu, there are also their protégés. Compared with Taifu, Wozi is more threatening to His Majesty, and the minister is worried about ....... ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "Qian Qing is right, the reason why I reused Taifu and did not give Chen Zilong a real position is also because I am worried about this. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Cihong's evidence became stiff, "It's just that compared to the person in the south, Chen Zilong is quite controllable." ”

Qian Qianyi hurriedly followed Zhu Cihong's words and said, "Yes." Wu Zheng has already withheld more than one million taels of business taxes, and the wolf's ambition is obvious. This time, the commander of the Jingwei Command, Lord Liao, also cut off one of his fingers, which was even more arrogant. ”

Zhu Cihong said hatefully: "If it weren't for the current military emergency, I would never tolerate it." ”

Qian Qianyi said: "Your Majesty is right, according to the minister's opinion, I am afraid that Your Majesty will have to ......." ”

Zhu Cihong said angrily: "Do you even want me to beg him?" Without him, I can't defend myself against the Qing army? I want the world to see that without him, I can keep my world. ”

"Yes. Be....... Your Majesty, there is news from the Hangzhou government, and the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan who are in charge of financial power for Wu are not obsessed, and set up the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, raising huge sums of money to invest in various government monopoly prohibitions, and make a lot of profits. All the famous businessmen in Jiangnan were included, and there were countless participants in Ying Tianfu, and even ...... Even the Qing merchants of Jiangbei were involved...... ”

Zhu Cihong's face turned pale, and he scolded: "I dare to collude with the Qing court and spread this matter on my behalf, I want to see if he can block the mouth of the people of the world, and let everyone in the world know what kind of face he has under his full of loyalty!" ”

At this time, Zhu Cihong really couldn't think of any other powerful measures to sanction Wu Zheng, I was afraid that he would use public opinion to vent his anger.

Qian Qianyi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not!" ”

"Why not, why not?" Zhu Cihong said angrily, "I exposed his painting skin, is it still wrong?" ”

Qian Qianyi hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Wu Zheng does not have a stake in it, even if Your Majesty publicizes it, I am afraid that it will not be able to grasp its shortcomings." I am afraid that I will offend the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan and Jiangbei. ”

Zhu Cihong said hatefully: "My Ming Dynasty will be ruined by these profiteers, rich and corrupt officials!" I can't wait to confiscate their property. ”

"Your Majesty, this is not feasible, if it is really done, I am afraid that I will shake the foundation! Your Majesty knows that behind these businessmen, there are wealthy families from all over the world, and no one can know which important ministers of the court have become shareholders in them. Once touched, I am afraid that it will cause backlash, and the consequences will be unpredictable...... Again, ahem...... The minister is thinking, such a huge profit, is it that the household department also buys some shares? Your Majesty knows that there are now positions in the bank...... There is still some surplus. ”

Zhu Cihong's face turned pale and pale, and after a while, he sighed: "It's not that I covet those money, but I just think of the emptiness of the treasury, since Qian Qing is interested, I will ...... Aiqing looks at it. However, it must not be in the name of the user department. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will arrange everything." Qian Qianyi sighed in his heart, in fact, he was cut first and then played, and he had already invested two million taels into the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, he was afraid that Zhu Cihong would flatly refuse, so now that the war is together, when the silver is used, the matter is exposed, and he really can't turn around.

……。

Shen Zhiyuan, Qian Qiaogong, Jiang Quanyi, and Wang Yilin are really having a good time.

Xinghua County was taken, and the scattered Qing troops stationed in the surrounding counties could not pose an actual threat to these more than 2,000 people in terms of strength or combat strength.

Occupying Baijuchang and Liujiazhuang, the two salt fields, this Qing court really had a headache.

I have to have a headache, it's really too difficult to completely encircle and suppress.

This gang of "robbers" is a few who say a lot, but a lot who say little.

Throwing in two or three thousand attacks will not make any difference.

But once 10,000 people are mobilized, it will be one word - escape!

The difficulties of Jierharang are: First, there is a problem with the dispatch of troops, there are still more than 40,000 troops in Jiangbei, but this is to defend the bank of the thousand-mile river, and it is no problem to transfer three or five thousand, and tens of thousands of troops are transferred, and the defense line is a sieve net. Second, once a large army is mobilized, these 2,000 or so people will make another "strategic shift" and bring disaster to the counties around Xinghua, and the losses will be great. In case you have to go and suddenly disappear and end up in Jinan or even further north, this matter is not so prevaricatable.

Therefore, after Prince Zheng Jierharang encircled and suppressed the vanguard of the army, and Shen Zhiyuan and their "small" battle, and both sides suffered losses, the Qing army stopped in a loose encirclement posture and no longer took the initiative to attack.

It's a mud pit, you can't beat it, and you can't fight it.

Beat too hard, afraid that they will escape, if they can't fight hard, how can they be a head these days?

Zilharang's head at this time was really bigger than two. He sent him to beg this group of "rebels" of the Yixing Dynasty.
