Chapter 206: The Dust Has Settled

When Wang Chengen read the holy decree in the morning, the civil and military officials standing outside the gate of the emperor immediately exploded.

Emperor Chongzhen actually rehabilitated the charge of rebellion against Qinchuan, a thousand households in Ninghua, and also ordered Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, to find out the truth about the three hundred human head trees outside Taiyuan City, and then ordered the third governor of Jin Xuanda to strictly investigate the embezzlement of military land by generals.

Qin Chuan privately cast artillery and recruited troops and horses, and what shocked the hundred officials even more was that the emperor actually charged more than a dozen hometown gentry in Jingle and Lan County with the crime of fornicating with foreign enemies, or bullying men and women, and encroaching on fertile land to bring disaster to the township.

Among them, several gentry such as the Wu family in Jingle and the Zhang family in Lanxian County were detained for the crime of fornicating with the Donglu and the Tatars, and the Hu family in the Dongcun was even charged with plotting rebellion and banditry.

In other words, Emperor Chongzhen allowed Qin Chuan's actions in Jingle Lan County and did not pursue any responsibility.

Not only did he not pursue it, Chongzhen also moved Qin Chuan as a guerrilla general in Shanxi, and 1,120 generals from the Ninghua Qianhu Institute were organized into a guerrilla battalion, with Qin Chuan as the battalion officer, and it was under the command of Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, and Zhang Yingchang, the chief soldier of Shanxi, to go south to exterminate the thieves.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also ordered Feng Xuan and several nephews of the Feng family in Zhangjiakou Fort to be arrested and imprisoned, and the family was beheaded for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

As for the Fan family, there are exculpations from Zhang Yixian, Wen Tiren and others, and the Fan family is unharmed.

As soon as Wang Chengen finished reading the holy decree, the officials under Danqi rushed out of work, shouting that they could not condone the guilt of Qin rebellion, some knelt on the ground and begged bitterly with tears and tears, and some were filled with righteous indignation to refute the holy decree with national law, and even some hot-tempered officials scolded directly, scolding Chongzhen for being mediocre and unreasonable, unable to see the wolf ambition of the rebel thief, and allowing the rebel to be a disaster in the township, and slaughtering the township gentry of the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Youzhen on the throne had been mentally prepared, he was still so angry that his face turned pale, and he got up to shoot the case, and asked Jinyiwei to drag more than a dozen officials out and spank them on the spot.

After the crackling sound of the cane and the screams outside, the emperor's gate was a little quieter, but there were still many officials kneeling on the ground or begging bitterly, or persuading Chongzhen to retract his will and send troops to attack Qin Yi again.

Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, kept standing under the pier with his head bowed, frowning and thinking hard.

He wondered why and what the Emperor's intentions were.

Before he could come up with a reason, Wen Tiren took the lead and expressed his support for His Majesty the Emperor's will, saying that some of Qin Chuan's actions were too arrogant and reckless, but this person had repeatedly made great contributions before, and now the court was at the time of employing people.

With Wen Tiren's support, Zhu Youzhen's face softened a little.

When Zhou Yanru saw it, he also hurriedly ran out and expressed his support for His Majesty's will.

With the red men in front of these two emperors taking the lead, some of the nimble brains in the court, as well as many officials who are in collusion with Wen Tiren, also went out to express their support for the emperor's will.

At this moment, those officials were annoyed, and they reprimanded these officials for ignoring the law of the country, and only knew how to pat their horses and farts to please the two elders and the emperor.

One of the officials even impeached Zhou Yanru on the spot, saying that he had formed a party for personal gain, excluded dissidents, and framed Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi, last year, and also privately accepted money from Feng Xuan, covering up Feng Xuan's collaboration with the enemy, and even mediated between the DPRK and China in an attempt to help Feng Xuanguan reinstate him.

Hearing this, Zhou Yanru's face changed greatly, he glanced at Wen Tiren next to him, and then knelt down to shout grievances.

The court official who was better with Zhou Yanru immediately scolded the official, saying that he must have been instructed by Wen Tiren to falsely accuse Shoufu of wanting to replace him.

Suddenly, the entire court was even more chaotic, and all kinds of filthy curses were endless, and soon two officials scuffled.

Today's Zhou Yanru and the Donglin Party are very close, and last time Bi Ziyan was punched by Wen Tiren, the Donglin Party people were holding a grudge, and when they saw that the two sides began to scuffle, they rushed up and scuffled together, and Xue Guoguan, who helped in the past, was also pulled into the crowd by Bi Ziyan, and was beaten with a fat head.

The entire court soon turned into a fight.

Zhu Youzhen's face was so angry that his face turned pale, and he scolded "bastard thing" three times in a row, and then flicked the big sleeves of the dragon robe and returned to the palace angrily.

……

When the news reached Jin Xuanda, the generals in the three places reacted differently, and some did not react at all, which was completely expected, because now the Ming Dynasty was worried about internal and external troubles, and it was difficult to draw tens of thousands of people to encircle and suppress the surnamed Qin.

Some were furious, especially Shanxi, who commanded Tongzhi Dou Dekang and Wei Shijie and others, and privately scolded Zhu Youzhen for being mediocre and unreasonable, and even connived at the traitors to bring disaster to Shanxi.

Some patted their thighs and were annoyed, such as Wang Dehua and Wang Kun, as well as many generals in Xuanda, the emperor's will came down, and they couldn't help the surname Qin.

But there are also some brains that are flexible, and they can guess Zhu Youzhen's intentions, since the strong attack consumes troops, then use a delaying tactic, if the surname Qin is controlled, it will be kept for the use of the imperial court, if it cannot be controlled, it will inevitably be issued a secret order to let Zhang Zongheng, Xu Dingchen, Hong Chengchou or Zhang Yingchang Cao Wenzhao and others trap and kill the surnamed Qin.

Decrees and edicts - >>

When the order document arrived in Yangqu, Xu Dingchen and the eunuch stayed alone in the study for half an hour.

After the eunuch left, Xu Dingchen summoned Du Yingtang, handed him a holy decree, more than a dozen edicts and seals, and ordered him to go to Lou Fu to read the edict.

Du Yingtang hurriedly mobilized a thousand men and led his troops to Loufu, and repeatedly read the holy decree and the dozen edicts on the way.

The emperor not only appointed Qin Chuan as a guerrilla general, but also appointed Luo Daniu, Li Dingliang, Liu Youzhu, Luo Ba, Huang Da, Huang Liuxi, Zhao Wu, Liao Sangun, Ren Liang, Feng Yilong and others under his command as generals or hundred generals.

The emperor's purpose should be to divide these people, so that these people can become court officials, all of whom have a one-and-a-half position, and then let the governor, governor, chief soldier and other senior officials win over these people and divide Qinchuan's capable generals.

After reading the decree and the edict document, Du Yingtang didn't say anything, but just walked towards Lou Fu.

He didn't want to wade into any troubled waters, regardless of the final outcome of the surname Qin.

He's just a messenger.

After two days of travel, Du Yingtang saw the green farmland in the Loufu Valley.

This river valley originally had more than 18,000 acres of land, but now it seems that a lot of new fields have been reclaimed, and crops have been planted in them.

Obviously, it was the people who led the people with the surname Qin to reclaim it.

As he approached the town of Lou Fan, he saw thousands of people digging in a mountain valley on the western slope, as if they were building a pond.

After continuing to walk for a while, he saw a group of people building roads, or carrying hoes and iron catalpa to dig the soil, or carrying baskets to carry mud, or leading mules and horses to pull stones and crush back and forth on the road.

Seeing this, Du Yingtang was shocked, what did this surnamed Qin want to do?

Spending money, food, water conservancy and roads, what does he want to do?

Just in the midst of his surprise, a fiery red centaur suddenly came out in the distance, about a hundred of them, led by the one surnamed Qin.

Du Yingtang let his 1,000 soldiers and horses rest on the spot, and he only brought 100 private soldiers to meet the surnamed Qin.

"Lord Du's arrival has made this poor country flourish."

From afar, Qin Chuan turned over and dismounted, and walked over with a smile.

Du Yingtang also dismounted, and smiled heartily, "Lord Qin is polite, Du is uninvited, Lord Qin should not be surprised." ”

"Hahahaha, Lord Du is here to deliver the message."

"Hmm...... Lord Qin is like a god, and Du admires it. ”

Immediately, Du Yingtang gestured to the back, and a private soldier held a delicate wooden box in front of him.

He opened the box, took out a bright yellow scroll from it, unfolded it, and read aloud, "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says ......"

Qin Chuan didn't kneel, and the hundred red-clothed attendants behind him didn't kneel.

As if he hadn't seen it, Du Yingtang just finished reading this long holy decree.

After reading it, he held the holy decree in both hands and held it in front of Qin Chuan, and several personal soldiers behind him also held more than a dozen wooden boxes containing edict documents and seals.

"Thank you, Lord Du, Lord Du and your brothers have worked hard, come, get some shoe money for Lord Du and your brothers."

Qin Chuan took the holy decree with both hands, and he didn't bother to open it to look at it, so he only smiled and said.

The red-clothed attendant, who had already prepared the money and silver, immediately stepped forward and gave Du Yingtang a heavy money bag, and he brought some private soldiers and a small piece of broken silver for each person.

Qin Chuan smiled again, "Lord Du, the village is being renovated, and there is a mess everywhere, so it is inconvenient for the lower officials to invite the adults into the village, and the adults have set up camp here, and the lower officials have ordered someone to cook the food, and they will be sent to the adults and the brothers immediately." ”

"Excuse me, Lord Qin is polite." Du Yingtang hurriedly pushed it back, "Du is entangled in official business, and after sending this holy decree, I have to rush back to Taiyuan to deal with official business, and Lord Qin will meet again." ”

"Master Du, it's not too late to leave after eating."

"No, no, Lord Qin, don't be polite."

"This ...... So he took the taels to buy wine and food for his brothers. ”

Qin Chuan smiled and carried a bigger and heavier money bag up and stuffed it into Du Yingtang's hand.

"This ......"

"Master Du doesn't need to push back, you brothers have been gone for two days, you are already tired and tired, so let's buy wine and eat."

"This ...... Then Du thanked Lord Qin for his brothers. ”

"Master Du doesn't need to be polite."

"Goodbye, Lord Qin."

"Goodbye."
