It was rare to rush back to Beijing on the same day, Jiang Quan and Chunxiang had not seen each other for many days, and chatted hotly in the lobby, while Chang Yu talked to Wang Guoxing and Li Ruogui about the details of the Shanxi case.

Shaoqing had another fan come to report official business, Wang Guoxing and Li Ruogui said goodbye, Chang Yu asked him to go to rest first, and had dinner at Yamen at noon, Jiang Quan also knew that Chunxiang wanted to have a private talk with Chang Yu and leave.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Quan and the others left, Chunxiang told Emperor Chongzhen about sending him to Puzhou, Chang Yu listened carefully, and after a long silence: "Didn't you enter the palace immediately after returning to Beijing to report to the emperor?" ”

"I went back to the palace first, but the emperor was in the upper court, and I came when I heard that you were in the yamen," Chunxiang said.

Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "If you see the emperor first, he will tell you that this matter cannot be passed on to the two of you, not even me!" ”

Chunxiang shrugged and smiled: "Even then I will talk to you."

Chang Yu patted him on the shoulder: "Now that you have a pot on your back, you have to be more cautious in your actions, although you can talk to me about this matter, but you can't spread it to outsiders, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

Chunxiang saw that his face was solemn and put away his smile: "I know this" said and sighed: "But after doing this kind of thing, I really can't sleep well!" ”

"Maybe if you do too much in the future, you will become numb," Chang Yu smiled slightly.

Chunxiang's expression was a little complicated: "Is the eldest brother numb now?" ”

Chang Yu shook his head: "I'm addicted."

Chunxiang was stunned.

The yamen of the outer east factory is lively and extraordinary, Chang Yu and Chunxiang in the hall have a secret discussion, and the relatives and servants in the courtyard sit around and chat about all kinds of gossip and rumors.

At the same time, in the imperial city close at hand, Emperor Chongzhen and the hundred officials were still tearing, and this early dynasty began at more than four o'clock in the morning.

The Emperor's Palace, where hundreds of officials gathered, is a rare big court meeting today.

Such a big scene also made the ministers mentally prepared, and there must be something important.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the court meeting, many ministers were full of firepower, first spraying Chang Yu, the commander of the East Factory, for his unauthorized use of power, corruption and bribery, and then spraying Emperor Chongzhen's dictatorship and favor, trust, and treachery......

In the face of so many keyboard warriors spraying wildly, if Emperor Chongzhen in the past had to spit on his face, he would have to come up with another edict of guilt!

However, today's Emperor Chongzhen has experienced the "Prince's Dream", he has seen too much clearly, and he has figured out too much, and the most important thing is that with Chang Yu's hole card, he is confident and much harder.

After a sneer, he directly retorted: "When the national disaster was at hand, Chang Yu did not hesitate to take the lead in the foreign overseer army to stain the battlefield with blood, and the thieves drove the Tartars indiscriminately, and where were you at that time?" If it were not for him and his soldiers, where would you be at this time?"

"It's just that the class teacher has just returned to the court, and you can't sit still! said that he was using power and tricks, said that he was corrupt and took bribes, and came up with evidence! ”

There was a sudden silence in the court, and Emperor Chongzhen's hardness surprised them too much.

However, then someone launched another attack on the grounds that Guozhang Zhou Kui reported Chang Yu for asking for a bribe of 100,000 taels, but Emperor Chongzhen allocated a thousand catties again: "I have enough evidence, at that time, it was the time when Wu Mengming, the Jinyi Guard, launched a fundraiser in the capital, and the gentry in the city responded to donate money and grain, and the 100,000 taels of Guozhang Zhou Kui was donated and accounted for and entered the treasury!" ”

It seems that Emperor Chongzhen is prepared!

Those who shouted in the court were just used as swords, and the people behind the command had already realized that Emperor Chongzhen was prepared!

As for the impeachment of the emperor's dictatorship, Emperor Chongzhen laughed angrily: "You wait for the emperor's luck, but the vegetarian meal corpse is not worried about the monarch's share, and if it weren't for my decisive appointment as an official and the army to turn the tide, my Ming Dynasty would have been overturned at this time, and now I blame me for being autocratic and arbitrary, and I still have to show face!" ”

The hundreds of officials in the court who scolded him were embarrassed.

Emperor Chongzhen swept the hall, but he was very relieved when he saw the cowardice of hundreds of officials.

The court meeting continued, listened to the various recitals of the ministers, Emperor Chongzhen dealt with them one by one, and left the cabinet to decide after deliberation if it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

Finally, the highlight finally came on, and when the court meeting was nearing the end, Emperor Chongzhen appointed and dismissed more than ten people in one go, and the court immediately became noisy.

Even the ministers headed by Li Banghua couldn't sit still, what the hell, they didn't say hello to the military parade, and they didn't blow a wind about such an important matter as the appointment and dismissal of personnel, and there were more than ten people at once! It's just too much to take the cabinet seriously!

You must know that in ancient times, the interpersonal relationship in officialdom was very complicated, who was the teacher, who was the student, and who was the fellow countryman...... Any appointment and dismissal decision is related to the interests of a small group, and it is by no means a trivial matter!

Therefore, the ministers in the court were in an uproar immediately, and the discussions were endless, and there were occasional sprays against each other.

The elders' firepower was focused on the one on the dragon chair.

Emperor Chongzhen on the dragon chair calmly and unhurried with his lips and swords, a pair of eyes on the world to show the respect of the Ninety-Five, between the words is the word of the heart, the gushing in the heart of the heart for many years of resentment vented out: the world is Lao Tzu's world, I am the king of the minister, listen to the order to do things, do what you can, you can't do it!

So hard!

The ministers were stunned and looked at the one on the dragon chair carefully, so familiar, and so unfamiliar!

However, after all, the court of the Ming Dynasty was not a hall of words in the Manchu Dynasty, and the degree of freedom of speech was very large, and those who were not satisfied could shout or even scold, in addition to not being able to do anything, there were those who pointed at the emperor's nose and scolded!

But Emperor Chongzhen is not alone, at first the ministers thought that he was just relying on the confidence of the little eunuch in Dongchang to be so abnormal, but slowly found that this was not the case, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Governor of Beijing, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, several imperial histories of the Imperial Procuratorate, the East Palace of the Prince, and even the Duke of Dingguo were helping him wave his flag openly and secretly! In addition to the Dongchang and Jinyiwei who did not go to the court, this is a powerful force!

Sure enough, he came prepared, as old as Li Banghua, Wu Fu suddenly realized, it turned out that the little eunuch had unconsciously won over these many people, plus his prestige in the army, Dongchang was already indestructible! Who would have thought that he would grow into a towering tree in such a short period of time!

I don't want to start early!

In the majestic imperial city, the wind and clouds are changing, some people are flat and some are falling into the dust, and a few are happy and a few are sad.

But outside the imperial city, the common people in Beijing's Sijiu City are more concerned about whether it will rain in the sky and alleviate the drought and plague, and they are not much interested in the affairs of the court, and they are curious about the bustle of some streets and alleys.

For example, when they went to the city gate to watch the officers and soldiers return triumphantly, they asked for some gossip so that they could brag after tea and dinner, and the bold children even ran out of the officers and soldiers camp more than ten miles outside the city to see the excitement.

When the Qing army entered the pass and went south, the imperial court mobilized nearly 100,000 troops to pursue, and after nearly two months of encirclement and pursuit, the Ming army finally defeated the Qing army, and returned to the city in triumph.
