"Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! ”

In the Hongde Hall of Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be furious after reading the two letters, and threw the two letters on the ground, scolding with a blue face.

Wang Chengen on the side hurriedly lay on the ground, motionless, and did not dare to come out.

"The army of 13,000 was defeated by Qin Yi's only 3,000 soldiers and horses, that's it, Wang Dehua, Wang Kun, and Xue Dongting actually attacked each other and shirked the blame, they should be a three-year-old child?"

The more Chongzhen scolded, the more angry he became, and smashed the dragon carving inkstone on the imperial case to the ground, and the broken jade and ink splashed everywhere.

At this time, there were faint cries and wails from the direction outside the Huangji Gate, as heart-rending as some people being killed and the whole family was killed.

Hearing the cry, Chongzhen became more and more upset, kicked a piece of inkstone shard, and asked angrily outside, "Are Zhang Jiwen and Wu Qiding crying again?" ”

A little eunuch knelt down outside the hall with a puff, and replied in a trembling voice, "Returning to the emperor, it is these two people, accompanied by some family members of the Zhang family and the Wu family, as well as more than ten supervisors of the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and many people from the Ministry of Officials, Rites, and Criminal Departments, and placed thirty-six blood letters outside the Huangji Gate, saying that Qin Chuan, a thousand households in Ninghua, killed the village gentry indiscriminately in Jingle County and Lan County, so that Luliang Mountain was full of blood, and it was as miserable as purgatory. ”

"Lang Lang Qiankun? Where is my brightness? Now that Dongnu is hoarding troops in the Qingshui River area, eyeing Datong and Shanxi, Shaanxi thieves are fleeing back and forth in Shanxi, Henan and Hebei, Wang Dehua and Xue Dongting's 13,000 troops are defeated, where can I mobilize troops and horses to exterminate the Qin thieves? ”

The more Chongzhen spoke, the more angry he became, and swept the royal pen and song on the imperial case to the ground.

The little eunuch outside the hall trembled, and he didn't dare to come out.

"Those officials who should be killed, they will only be impeached in case of trouble, and they will only insinuate and scold Huai, what else will they order? I'm all in a hurry, what else are they going to order besides causing chaos for me? ”

"Make trouble, let them make trouble, I want to see what they can do."

Chongzhen shook the big sleeves of the dragon robe, sat back on the chair, rubbed his forehead and closed his eyes.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of kneeling on the ground.

Chongzhen opened his eyes and looked out, only to see Cao Huachun holding a wooden box in his hand, kneeling respectfully outside the temple gate, probably seeing him close his eyes and recuperate, so he didn't wake him up.

Seeing Cao Huachun, Chongzhen's irritability eased a little, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Cao Banban, what do you want to play?" ”

Cao Huachun raised his head slightly, and said with sincere fear, "Emperor Qi, Shanxi Ninghua guards the Qin Chuan of the Imperial Thousand Households, and plays the grievances of the Emperor, and the minister does not dare to slack off, so he will send it to the Emperor to see." ”

"Qin Chuan Chen?"

Chongzhen frowned, and then scolded again, "Rebel thief, wolf ambition, what grievances does he have?" ”

"Cao Companion, take the song Shu over and take a look."

"Yes."

Cao Huachun got up from the ground, bowed down and walked into the hall, put the wooden box on the imperial case, and opened the lid.

Chongzhen took out a piece of silk cloth from it and unfolded it, only to see that it read, "Qin Chuan, the minister of the military department Ninghua guarding the thousand households of the Thousand Households, is the erosion of Chen Mingjin Xuan's second town, and affirms the grievances of the ministers." ”

According to the righteous son of Zhang Bingzhong, the head of the eight kings of the thieves, the bandits in Lou Annoy, the leader of the Yellow Cong Mountain, Bashan Tiger and Guo Yan, the head of Guandi Mountain, to keep the peace of Lou Annoy, protect the lives and wealth of the people, and do their best for the country and the people."

"Cangtian Mingjian, the dragon's eyes are like a torch, the minister Yu Renshen is grateful to the emperor, Ren Ninghua guards the thousands of households and hundreds of households, from then on the heart of the family and the country, want to Jingping Huanyu and go north to kill the enemy, slaughter the east, punish the country thief, do his best to never make a fool of himself, and the emperor's grace to lead the Ninghua Institute, holding the Han Erjian pawn, should fulfill the loyalty of the Han family."

"However, the three towns of Jin Xuanda hid filth and dirt, and many gentry and officials colluded with the East Captives, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and in vain they led the slaves and thieves deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to take the head of the ministers to sacrifice to the slave Khan, and the ministers killed the enemy in blood, with eight arrows and seventeen knives in their bodies, and they were unwilling to be unwilling to the bridge, and they were angry and cut off the bull's head and horse face, and punished the soul and ghost, and returned to the yang world, vowing to kill all the traitors and villains in the world for the glory of the heavens."

"The gentlemen of Jingle Lan County-->>

For many years, he has been in trouble in the township, bullying men and women, disregarding people's lives and occupying people's land, and even colluding with the East to cooperate with the enemy and betray the country. ”

"However, the courtiers cared about right and wrong in vain, and talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact, they were scornful villains, colluding with traitors in the three places of Jin and Xuan, manipulating Zhangjiakou Fort and Horse Market, and making a fortune."

"Your Majesty is also loyal and treacherous, and before he can clearly discern it, he hastily sent troops to attack his subordinates, and every time the ministers think of the blood of the past for the Ming Dynasty and the people of Li and the people who are loyal to the enemy, they will have a heartbreak and can't sleep at night."

"The minister shed blood for the Ming Dynasty and sacrificed his life for the people, why did he fall into such a situation?"

"What is the sin of the ministers who do the right thing for heaven and eliminate violence and peace?"

"If Your Majesty insists on going his own way, and wants to kill his subordinates for the traitors of the Ming Dynasty, and take the heads of his subordinates for Nu Khan, the ministers can only fight with their lives, and the net will be broken."

"The sea is wide and the fish swim, the sky is high and the birds are flying, please think twice and think again."

"Minister, Qin Chuan is respectful."

Seeing the complete seal, Chongzhen's face was already pale, his chest was panting, and he suddenly slapped his palm on the imperial case.

"Bold! Daring! Qin thief is so bold, he deserves death! ”

"If this thief is not removed, I will be the Son of Heaven!"

Scolding and scolding, Chongzhen slammed the wooden box on the imperial case to the ground.

Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen lay on the ground, and they didn't dare to come out.

Probably because he had dropped something, he got a bad breath, and Chongzhen sat back on the throne, staring at the letter on the imperial case with his eyes.

There was silence in the Hongde Hall, only Chongzhen's gradually slowing gasp.

After a long time, Chongzhen suddenly asked, "Cao Banban, you have already seen it." ”

Cao Huachun responded, "The minister is ordered to write Zhu Criticism, and I have indeed seen it." ”

"In your opinion, what should I do with this Qin Chuan?"

Cao Huachun's head was buried lower, "The ministers are in the district, and they don't dare to discuss the government." ”

"If I tell you to, you can say it."

"Yes."

Cao Huachun kowtowed, then raised his head slightly, and said cautiously, "Emperor, in the opinion of the ministers, now there are Dongyu troops hoarding troops outside the pass, and there are thieves raging everywhere inside, so it is not appropriate to divide more troops." ”

"And this Qin Chuan eats soft and not hard, although the troops under his command are only 3,000, but they are all brave soldiers, and their people are cunning, wise and brave, and many brave generals under his command, and occupy the two strong cities of Jingle City and Lancheng, relying on the natural danger of Yunzhong Mountain and Luya Mountain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you send troops to attack, I am afraid that it will not be able to attack without more than 30,000 troops."

"In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to appease first, calm down the matter, and transfer it to suppress the bandits, if he is loyal and scrupulous, if he can be used by the emperor, he can keep it, if he is still stubborn and arbitrary, it is not too late to secretly order Zhang Zongheng, Hong Chengchou and others to trap him."

After hearing this, Chongzhen frowned and thought about it, and suddenly asked, "Wang Companion, what do you think?" ”

Wang Chengen, who was lying on the ground, raised his head slightly, and said cautiously, "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that what Cao Gong said is reasonable and well-founded, and this method can be advanced or retreated, which is a good strategy." ”

"What should we do with those people who are crying outside? Lu Zhongwei's 300 heads hung outside Taiyuan City, how to deal with it? Also, what should be done with those people in Zhangjiakou Fort? ”

"As far as the minister knows, the gentry clan in Jingle Lan County and the two places do indeed have many acts that cause trouble to the township, and the occupation of military land by Lu Zhongwei and others is not out of nowhere, these people will die when they die, since they want to be appeased, they can no longer treat the crime of Qin Chuan."

"As for the matter of Zhangjiakou Fort, the minister does not dare to discuss it, and hopes that the emperor will see it."

Chongzhen didn't continue to ask, only frowned and kept thinking.

I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "Intentions." ”

Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen hurriedly got up from the ground, ran outside the hall and drank a few times, and soon a few little eunuchs ran in to clean up the mess on the ground, and brought new inkstones, imperial pens, incense ink, etc.
