Not long after Zhang Fengyi asked for the superintendent, there was a good report of the annihilation of 200 Qing soldiers, Chongzhen thought: "He is also the longest-reigning secretary of the military department, he should not be incompetent, if he can achieve good results this time, I will promote him to the cabinet." ”

Thinking about it, Chongzhen became excited, and looked down to see that there was a thick accumulation of notes on the case.

"There must be good news in it, hmph, Tongnu devil, I will let you have no return this time."

Muttering, Chongzhen has opened it to see, and it is actually impeached Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong for cowardice and without a fight, allowing the Qing soldiers to loot!

"How so? These two damn guys! Scolding secretly, Chongzhen thought again: "These officials also have no scruples, and they will report to me if they are not satisfied, maybe these two are not like this." ”

I was thinking about it, but when I saw Wang Chengen coming in a hurry, I was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What happened again?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "The soldiers of the king of Qin from all over the country have arrived, but Tongnu has withdrawn. ”

Chongzhen let out an "oh" and said, "How about the losses in various places?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "Everywhere Tongnu passed, they were all looted, miserable. ”

Chongzhen said: "What are Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong eating?" What are their records? ”

"The emperor's words are clearly full of anger, these two designations will be held accountable, alas, the loss is ......" secretly thought, Wang Chengen said: "Soon after Tongnu withdrew from the army, Zhang Fengyi died of illness, Liang Tingdong also died, Liang Tingdong still held a lot of rhubarb in his hand after his death, and he should have died by swallowing a lot of rhubarb." ”

Chongzhen was stunned and said: "Zhang Fengyi was sick some time ago, and if he dies of illness, he can be regarded as dutiful, so treat his family well."

This Liang Tingdong, afraid of cowardice, allowed the Tongnu to drive straight in, disturbed the imperial tomb, and caused Gyeonggi to suffer heavy losses, his crime is unforgivable, since he has committed suicide in fear of crime, I will no longer pursue it, but his crime must be listed and clearly marked. ”

After speaking, he looked at Wang Chengen, and said: "Those Qinwang soldiers are too slow, I won't pursue it, let them go back, tell them that if they dare to do this, I will not be spared." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Has Lu Xiang risen?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "Xiangsheng is a person who likes to be more serious, he came the earliest, and those Tongnu soldiers who retreated a little slower were killed by him. ”

Chongzhen pondered: "Yes, if he doesn't like it so much, maybe it can be better, so let him stay and take over from Liang Tingdong." ”

Wang Chengen said tentatively: "Then, the military department ......"

Chongzhen said: "Let Yang Sichang take over, I will make an order to win the favor in October, and this Yang Sichang actually resigned." ”

"It seems that the emperor is bent on using Yang Sichang, so let's help him say more good things, so as not to be difficult to talk when we meet in the future."

After making up his mind, Wang Chengen said: "This should be no wonder Yang Sichang, because there is no door and no faction, and the courtiers have a lot of complaints about his military department, and Yang Sichang can't help but have scruples." ”

Chongzhen snorted coldly and said, "No door and no faction? What I am optimistic about is his lack of sect and faction, with my support, what is he afraid of Yang Sichang, this time, you will personally arrange someone to tell him my words clearly. ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly said: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Chongzhen said: "When I was the king of letters, I read his books such as "Diguan Ji" and greatly appreciated his talents. As soon as I ascended the throne, I activated their father and son.

His father, Yang He, was originally guilty of a capital crime, and he asked to resign three times to replace his father. I exempted his father Yang He from the death penalty and changed his military to Yuanzhou, Jiangxi, and did not let him resign, and also comforted him many times, encouraging him to do his duty.

However, this Yang Sichang did not disappoint me, and when he supervised military affairs for the right hand of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Prefecture of the Governor of the Mountains (Customs), Yong (Pingfu) and other places, he reorganized the defense and built the two wings of the Shanhaiguan City; When he was the right attendant of the military department and the governor of the three towns of Xuanda Shanxi, he made six statements on side affairs, advocating the opening of mines and recruiting workers to disintegrate the rebellious party, and planned many times. ”

Saying that, Chongzhen paused, and then said: "I think it can be used, but why do the courtiers oppose it? Hmph, I think it's purely ill-intentioned! What is Enemy? Not only are there slaves and rogues, but there are also people who prevent me from making the right decision. ”

"He actually listed dissenting people as enemies, alas, ......" secretly thought, Wang Chengen was already sweating on his forehead, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, a little eunuch came in happily and said, "Your Majesty, I'm overjoyed." ”

Chongzhen said: "Will I have a happy event at this time? You don't have to change your way to make me happy, just say anything. ”

When the little eunuch heard this, he didn't dare to make any more publicity, and said honestly: "Shaanxi Governor Sun Chuanting caught the head of the Liukou Yingxiang in the Meridian Road, and has now been escorted to Beijing, please ask the emperor to decide." ”

Chongzhen said: "This fruit is a good thing, Sun Chuanting once reported it quickly, and I ordered him to use it if he can, and escort the capital if he can't."

Now that he has been escorted to Beijing, it shows that this Yan Yingxiang is stubborn, and it is useless to keep it, so let's put him to death, kill him with 1,560 knives, and then publicize it to warn other thieves. ”

Just as he was about to make a difference, his father Yang He died in Yuanzhou, and Yang Sichang went home to worry, and a year later he was mourned by his stepmother Ding.

got rid of the mundane affairs in the officialdom, Yang Sichang was able to calm down and think, and he actually gained a lot.

On this day, I was excited, and the holy decree of Chongzhen's love arrived.

"That's a rare treat! The emperor gave us such a high courtesy, we can't fail the emperor. It's a pity that our strategy is not mature enough.

By the way, we might as well resign, first, to gain time and improve our strategy, and secondly, to silence the mouths of those courtiers who oppose our resurgence. ”

After making up his mind, Yang Sichang hurriedly went to write a note, ordered to play it immediately, and went to do his homework in front of the map.

Within a few days, Chongzhen was not allowed.

Yang Sichang was extremely moved in his heart, but his idea was set, and he was still not approved.

During this period, Yang Sichang did not dare to slack off, and carefully studied day and night, and the strategy was completed. I looked at it again and again, and there was no flaw.

At this time, a slave hurriedly came in and told the Qing soldiers about the plundering of Gyeonggi and Sun Chuanting's capture of Yan Yingxiang.

Yang Sichang said: "Hurry up and prepare, the master must enter Beijing." ”

The slave said: "The emperor has issued an edict again? ”

Yang Sichang said: "Not yet, but soon, I expect that the date set by the emperor for me to enter Beijing will not be later than the end of March." ”

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard a eunuch's scream outside the door: "The holy decree has arrived-Yang Sichang received the decree as soon as possible-"

Yang Sichang didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly greeted him, knelt on the ground and said: "Minister Yang Sichang welcomes the holy decree." ”

The eunuch pronounced the holy decree in a tone and handed it to Yang Sichang to confess, and then said: "The emperor also said that Er Nai is my minister, and he should obey my dispatch and enter Beijing before the end of March." ”
