It stands to reason that after the DPRK and China have dealt with the affairs of Yang He and Shaanxi, they should start to deal with Wang Zezhi's affairs.

In fact, this is not the case.

Just when Yang He was dismantled and moved into Beijing, an explosive report reached the capital.

In the second year of Chongzhen, on July 15, the performance was reported.

"Report, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, rushed to report for eight hundred miles.

Yuan Chonghuan, the minister, reported that Mao Wenlong, the chief military officer of Pingliao, cut the island as the king, supported the army and respected himself, and he had close contacts with Houjin, and was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

In addition, Mao Wenlong privately opened the sea market, robbed the people of Liaodong, and did all kinds of evil to bring disaster to the country and the people.

On June 20, the minister invited Shang Fang's sword to cut the root of this curse, and subdued Phi Dao in one fell swoop with lightning speed. ”

Phi Island is also called Dongjiang, in the sea along the coast of Deng and Lai, the total length is 80 li, no vegetation grows, away from the coast, close to the north shore, the north shore and the Houjin World are only 80 miles apart from the sea, its northeast sea belongs to North Korea.

"Strange, Phi Dao is Mao Wenlong's station, what is Governor Yuan doing cleaning up Phi Dao?"

"Both of them have Shang Fang Sword, why did Governor Yuan behead Mao Wenlong?"

"This is wrong, Mao Wenlong's name is the chief military officer of Pingliao, in fact, he is secretly seeking peace, and he is not clear with Huang Taiji, he is a Kou wearing the emperor's skin."

"Even if he is really a coward, the emperor did not decree that he should exterminate Mao Wenlong."

"I'm afraid you have forgotten that the emperor has given Governor Yuan the privilege of arbitrariness."

After the courtiers heard Yuan Chonghuan's recital, they chattered, and Chongzhen was upset when he heard it.

Originally, he planned to talk about Wang Zezhi today.

The reason why Wang Zezhi's matter has been delayed until now is actually that Chongzhen doesn't want to turn his face with him.

Shaanxi is in a state of erosion, and the situation in eastern Liaoning is unclear.

At this time, he turned his face with Wang Zezhi and forced Wang Zezhi to rebel, which was unfavorable to Jiangshan Sheji.

And the most important point is that Wang Zezhi has come up with a lot of evidence, which can prove that the corrupt officials, evil gentry and profiteers in Datong Mansion really betrayed the country.

Of course, Chongzhen also received a letter stamped with the private seals of Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru.

The letter contained a map of the distribution of fire cannons in Datong City, which was divided into two halves.

Chongzhen was suspicious by nature, and after seeing these two letters and maps, he suspected that the two were collaborating with the enemy and treason, so he reactivated Wang Chengen.

He had a dislike for Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru.

If he didn't need someone to stand by his side, he would have arrested them for interrogation at once.

"Enough, I want to know, why did Yuan Chonghuan behead Mao Wenlong."

Chongzhen patted Long Qi's armrest and shouted in a deep voice.

The courtiers were silent and began to think.

"The minister thinks that Inspector Yuan should be in order to eliminate hidden dangers and achieve integrated defense." Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry, came out of the class to play.

"According to the minister's opinion, Inspector Yuan's move should be for the matter of food and salary, the treasury is empty, and he is unable to pay the food and salary of the Liaodong border army, and Mao Wenlong, where Phi Dao is located, allocated the food and salary of 200,000 defenders a year ago." The head of the household department is full of self-strictness.

"As far as the minister knows, there are only more than 20,000 sergeants in Mao Wenlong's department, which is indeed more than the food and salary allocated for the 200,000 defenders." Wang Qia, the secretary of the military department, went out of the class and played.

"The minister heard that Mao Wenlongmu had no national law, opened a horse market privately, and sold the war horses allocated to him by the imperial court to Huang Taiji, in addition, he also recruited merchants and sold forbidden goods, nominally aiding North Korea, but in fact he went out of the border in vain, and when there was no war on Phi Island, he sold ginseng and cloth as a ministry in exchange for gold and silver."

Household Shangshu Bi Ziyan said.

"Wang Chengen."

"The minister is here."

"How much food does Mao Wenlong's ministry have?"

Phi Dao is isolated overseas, and Chongzhen knows very little about it, and Mao Wenlong took advantage of this to wantonly deceive the imperial court.

Chongzhen was very unhappy about this, so he wanted to ask Wang Chengen, who was in charge of Jinyiwei's secret spy, if he knew the situation on Phi Dao.

"Back to the emperor, according to the secret report of Jinyiwei, after Yuan Inspector seized Phi Island, he seized more than 1.2 million taels of silver, 890,000 stone of grain, more than 14,000 soldiers and more than 7,000 horses."

Wang Chengen said cautiously.

"The emperor played, the minister impeached Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chongcang deceived the monarch, and privately beheaded the border officials, the minister thought that Yuan Chonghuan's crime on the island was extremely evil, and asked the emperor to make a holy judgment."

Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry, stepped forward and said.

Before, he was still speaking for Yuan Chonghuan, but at this moment, Chongzhen's face was gloomy, he knew that something was wrong, and immediately went out to impeach.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the problem is not that Yuan Mao's crime is more serious, but that those civil and military generals should strictly abide by the monarch and the courtesy system, Yuan Chonghuan's move, ostensibly to eliminate harm to the country, is actually an infringement of imperial power to disrupt the dynasty, this case as soon as the dynasty collapsed, the minister thought that Yuan Chonghuan should be immediately removed from his post for investigation and arrested."

The Ministry of Rites is like a pet out of the class.

"Your Majesty, Wang Zezhi's matter is not over yet, and now there is another Yuan Chonghuan, the minister thinks that Yuan Chonghuan is better than Wang Zezhi, in the long run, isn't it a monarch who is not a monarch and a minister, and the civil and military are doing their own thing?"

Wang Qia, the secretary of the military department, echoed.

"Where is the Jinyi Guard?"

Wang Zezhi captured Datong Mansion, and Chongzhen couldn't do anything with him, which has always been a thorn in Chongzhen's heart.

Now Wang Qia has spoken out about this matter again and revealed Chongzhen's scars.

Chongzhen was immediately annoyed and angry.

"The minister is here."

"Quickly go to Datong Mansion and Liaodong, and mess up these two..."

"Emperor~Shang~" Chongzhen was just about to say that he would arrest these two chaotic ministers and thieves and return them to Beijing, but the head of the cabinet immediately shouted and stood in front of everyone.

He made a deep compilation, hoping that Chongzhen could calm down.

"Ah, I want you to pass on the decree, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, to eliminate hidden dangers, unite defense, serve the country loyally, I will confer on him the rank of scholar and secretary of the military department, I hope he will investigate the will of heaven and recover Liaodong as soon as possible.

This Shanxi chief soldier Wang Zezhi, investigated the corrupt officials and eliminated the corrupt officials, exterminated the profiteers who sold prohibited goods to the outside of the customs, and made meritorious contributions to the country, and I awarded him Dr. Ronglu and gave him a product. ”

"Your Majesty."

Chongzhen issued a reward when the court, and the ministers dared not slack off, and immediately bowed down and praised.

"Those corrupt officials, military generals who deduct military salaries, and smuggle military funds, if the evidence is conclusive, they will be punished in accordance with the laws of the country, and those who should be beheaded will be beheaded, and the nine clans who should be punished will be punished."

Chongzhen can't do anything with Wang Zezhi and Yuan Chonghuan, but he dares to take action against these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, evil gentry and profiteers who have lost power.

This move will punish their nine clans.

"Obey."

Jinyiwei received the decree and passed the decree.

"Retreat."

Wang Chengen sang, hundreds of officials retreated, and Chongzhen also went down.

"Your Majesty, this Wang Zezhi and Yuan Chonghuan are indeed stables, but instead of punishing them, the emperor rewarded them, the emperor is really a holy monarch."

Wang Chengen, who was reused, followed behind Chongzhen, smiling and patting Chongzhen's ass.

"I am the emperor and the son of heaven, and I need to focus on the society of the country, and it is nothing that I am wronged."

"The emperor is sage, how can the amount of the emperor's son of heaven be comparable to Wang Zezhi, Yuan Chonghuan and the like."

"Well, it's still comfortable for you to speak."

"The minister is really admired, and the minister is admired."

"Do you think Wang Zezhi will be opposed?"

Chongzhen said uncertainly.

"The emperor's grace and power are combined, the emperor's prestige is more grand, Wang Zezhi will definitely be grateful for the picture if he knows it, he must be trembling and careful to spend the day, where do you dare to make a time.

Moreover, the incriminating evidence he sent was verified by the minister, and all of them were true. ”

Chongzhen turned his head and looked at Wang Chengen seriously.

"Is that really the case with my officials?" Chongzhen didn't believe that the officials under him would collude with profiteers to get out of the customs.

"Yes, the Zhuang Zhuang they made is shocking."

"Okay, I know, let's talk about Mao Wenlong, I want to hear about it."

"Yes."
