On the tenth day of the lunar month, above the court.

"The emperor is played, and the minister impeaches the king of Shanxi."

Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry, came out of the ranks and began to play.

Wang Yongguang is honest and diligent, loyal and upright, and dares to give direct advice, which is deeply valued by Chongzhen.

Unexpectedly, he was the first person to play.

"Wang Shangshu, please speak." Chongzhen sat down and said lightly.

"Wang Zezhi, the chief soldier of Shanxi, privately beheaded the seventy-four gentry of Datong Mansion and robbed the people's property, which was extremely cruel, like a rebellion.

The minister thought that the king of Shanxi's chief soldier would never be pardoned for the crime of beheading the squire, and the minister implored the emperor to make a holy judgment. ”

Wang Yongguang should have received some one-sided news, so he dared to come out.

Chongzhen guessed that Wang Yongguang must not know what these squires had done, otherwise he would not have been on the list.

None of that matters, though.

The most important thing now is to strike a blow to Wang Zezhi's sharpness and let him know that the emperor has the final say in the Ming Dynasty, not what he wants as a small general soldier.

"The emperor, the minister thinks that the king of Shanxi's chief soldier is guilty.

However, the sin of these seventy-four gentry was even greater.

For a long time, these people have occupied military fields, smuggled grain and grass and Tatars outside the customs, and some of them sold the country's important weapons and artillery.

In addition to these, there is even a fornication after the money, the Datong border guard was drawn into a book and sent out. ”

Shangshu Shengyun of the Criminal Department was promoted to Lie Chen Zhuodao, he knew that it was greasy, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Yongguang quite meaningfully, Wang Yongguang understood, and began to look at his nose and nose, and he knew that he was being used.

Qiao Yunsheng, the word Jifu, the number Hegao, Mengjin, the minister of the Ming Dynasty, the official to the criminal department of Shangshu, is famous for his integrity, indomitable law enforcement, and outstanding political achievements.

His words still carry a lot of weight.

Although what he said was the truth, as soon as he explained it like this, Chongzhen couldn't rectify Wang Zezhi.

Chongzhen was expressionless, glanced at him quietly, and silently made a note in his heart.

"Hmph, when I catch you later, I look good with you."

"The emperor, the general army of Shanxi, Wang Zezhi, garrisoned in Xuandewei, Yulin, Zhenyuwei, Jiulonggou, Yunchuan, and Kill Hukou, and the total number of garrisons in the six places has reached more than 6,000 people.

As far as the minister knows, in addition, he garrisoned troops in Datong Mansion, in which there were more than 10,000 Tartar prisoners.

Wang Zezhi, the chief soldier of Shanxi, was not satisfied with having so many private soldiers, and even accepted more than 1,000 border troops in Datong Mansion Shuanggoudun, Killing Tiger's Mouth, and Tuanshan Broken Fort as private soldiers. ”

Wang Qia, the secretary of the military department, went out to play.

As soon as he finished speaking, the courtiers blew up.

"It's almost 20,000 people, what is he going to do? Do you want to raise an army to rebel? ”

"The border troops have all been taken in by him, is he going to gather troops to mutiny?"

"I heard that he even accepted the Zhejiang soldiers..."

Ministers, you and I are talking one sentence at a time, chattering non-stop.

"The emperor, the general soldier of Shanxi, Wang Zezhi, supported the army and respected himself, and privately opened the border city in the naturalization city.

In addition, he smuggled and robbed the townships of Datong Mansion, and did all kinds of evil.

The minister thought that the imperial court should send troops to get rid of him as soon as possible, in case the tail would not fall off and become a future trouble. ”

The head of the household is still in the class.

Wang Zezhi's private opening of the border market touched the interests of the household department, which was intolerable to the household officials.

"The emperor played it, and the ministers thought that the problem was not to support the army and self-respect and open the border market privately.

Wang Zezhi is the chief soldier of a province in Shanxi, and his soldiers are strong and strong, so that he can recover the lost territory of the border pass, and his strong army is really the luck of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the private opening of the border market, even if he did not open the border market, the imperial court would open the border market to stabilize the outside Tatars.

The minister thought that the most important thing was to ask those civil and military generals to strictly abide by the monarch and courtiers, and Wang Zezhi's move was ostensibly beneficial to the country, but in fact it violated the imperial power and disrupted the dynasty.

The minister thought that he should immediately order him to return to Beijing to report on his work and explain the reason.

If he is resentful and vague, he will be removed from his post and punished. ”

The book of the Ministry of Rites is like a pet to play in the class.

He Rupet also knew what those squires were doing, but he didn't want to exacerbate the matter.

After all, Wang Zezhi recovered the Naturalization City and contributed to the country.

If he is directly convicted, who will be willing to work hard for the court in the future.

Therefore, he spoke first and then soldiers, not seeking radicalism, but only stability. Euro eBook

His advice is conservative, but it's a good one.

After He Ru returned to class, all the ministers nodded and praised, thinking that what he said was good.

However, Chongzhen doesn't think so.

He must teach Wang Zezhi a lesson today, otherwise, he will feel that his majesty as the emperor is swept away.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the king of Shanxi's chief soldiers, although he has contributed to the imperial court.

However, if he does not dispose of his army, he has no king's law, and regards the imperial power as nothing, if he does not dispose of it, won't it be a monarch in the long run, a minister without a minister, and the monarch and the minister will do their own thing?

Will there still be a court in the world at that time? ”

Wang Qia, the secretary of the military department, peeked at Chongzhen, and he knew that he still had to fill the fire, so he went out to play again.

"Someone."

Wang Qia's words touched on Chongzhen's sore spot.

Wang Zezhi didn't ask his opinion, so he privately beheaded the squire and opened the border market privately, these things were a thorn in his heart.

"Humble duty."

The petty officials outside the hall entered the hall and waited for Chongzhen to speak.

"Quickly go to the Naturalization City to pass the decree, and the general soldier of Shanxi, Wang Zezhi..."

"Your Majesty." Before Chongzhen finished speaking, Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, came out of work and shouted loudly, interrupting him.

"Wang Zezhi, the chief soldier of Shanxi, did not take a tael of silver from the imperial court and a stone of rice and grain, so he eliminated the squire and made a rebellion.

These squires privately raised thousands of sergeants and plotted to cause chaos, and the emperor knew about it.

Wang Zezhi, the chief soldier of Shanxi, repaid the arrears of the Datong border army for nearly a year, stabilized the border defense, and did not ask the imperial court for one or two silver, one stone of rice and grain, and this merit is two.

Wang Zezhi, the chief soldier of Shanxi, generously donated money to help the victims, and did not ask the court for a tael of silver and a stone of rice grain.

Wang Zezhi, the chief soldier of Shanxi, resisted the tiger and squatting rabbit in Xi'an Fort, and then defeated the tiger and squatting rabbit tens of thousands of elite horsemen in the mouth of the tiger, and three in Yunchuan, struck the tiger and squatting rabbit tens of thousands of troops, so as to recover the lost land and naturalize the city, which is an immortal achievement.

In addition to giving him 6,000 swords and soldiers for soldiers, the court did not give him a tael of silver, a stone of rice and grain, and this merit is four.

The minister thought that Wang Zezhi was not only innocent, but meritorious.

If you don't reward your merits, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers in the world.

Your Majesty, think about it carefully, has there ever been such an immortal genius, such an immortal miracle, since the Apocalypse Dynasty to the present?

Let's talk about the opening of the Naturalization City, the tiger squatted and the rabbit went south several times, so what happened?

It is nothing more than to come to ask for a reward, hoping that I will open the border market to the outside of the Cypriot Tartars for this winter.

If there is no Wang Zezhi to defeat Hudun Rabbit, it will not be as simple as reopening the border market.

Your Majesty, think about it carefully, since the recovery of Guihua City by Wang Zezhi, the chief soldier of Shanxi, there is still an urgent military situation report at the Datong border pass? ”

Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, Chen Qing's pros and cons, moved with affection, knew with reason, looked at Chongzhen and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and said loudly.

There was silence in the court, and all the ministers knew that what the court said was the truth, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense for a while.

The corners of Chongzhen's eyes on the dragon chair jumped slightly, of course he knew that what Han Yi said was the truth.

However, his purpose was to teach Wang Zezhi a lesson and let him restrain himself.

Otherwise, when the time comes, the tail will not be lost, and he will not know whether it will be a blessing or a curse.

Now, Han Yi has spread out everything and said it, and he can't think about rectifying Wang Zezhi anymore.

Now he has to think about how to get out of power.

"Shanxi general soldier Wang Zezhi, to eliminate the squire rebellion, to recover the lost land, is not a miracle, I reward Wang Zezhi's python robe and jade belt, give two products, I hope that he will be loyal to the country, accelerate the reorganization of the army, and recover the Hetao within a year, so as to live up to my high hopes."

Since Han Yi became the first assistant of the cabinet, he has introduced righteous people and suppressed the evil party, and he has quite prestige in the DPRK, so Chongzhen has to listen to his words.

After thinking about it carefully, Chongzhen rewarded Wang Ze.

"Obey."

The petty official waiting for the decree in the main hall received the order and went to the Naturalization City to deliver the decree.

Chongzhen did not rectify the king, he was a little unhappy, he waved his sleeves and left, and the little eunuch sang a sentence of retreat, and the court meeting ended.

The ministers of the court did not set up a good platform for Chongzhen, and they were all a little uneasy.

They were afraid that Chongzhen would hold on to those letters and start settling accounts with them.

After they went down to the court, they all distanced themselves from Han Yi, for fear that they would get too close to Han Yi and make Emperor Chongzhen unhappy.

Han Yi went down to the court alone, and the whole person suddenly aged a lot, and he felt that he couldn't see through Emperor Chongzhen more and more.

Han Yi never thought that his actions today would lay a bane for the future.
