The ministers of the court all said that Qian Qianyi was not guilty.

Zhang Yunru was especially active in defending Qian Qianyi in the matter: "Wen Tiren is actually keen on power, if Qian Qianyi is at fault, why did he wait until today to expose it?" ”

Wen Tiren said: "I was just a petty official at the beginning, and today's exposure of Qian Qianyi is also for the court to use people prudently."

People like Zhang Yunru must be Qian Qianyi's fellow party. ”

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was furious, and after ordering the Ministry of Rites to take Qian Qianqiu's scroll and look at it, he reproached Qian Qianyi and said with emotion: "If it weren't for Wen Tiren, I would almost have made a mistake." ”

Zhang Yunru was arrested and imprisoned, and the ministers were also severely reprimanded.

During the argument, no one helped Wen Tiren, only Zhou Yanru said: "Tingtui is very fair in name, but in fact, there are only one or two people who preside, and no one else dares to speak."

Once he speaks in vain, he will cause trouble for himself, and Qian Qianqiu's case has already been decided, so there is no need to ask the ministers again. ”

So Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen dismissed Qian Qianyi on the same day, and many officials were implicated.

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen was still in anger, and if he stabbed the matter of the acting king again, he was afraid that Chongzhen would do irrational things.

Therefore, Wang Chengen suppressed this matter, and at the same time sent Jinyiwei to secretly investigate the matter of acting for the king.

The confrontation between the ministers in the first year of Chongzhen ended with the complete victory of Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru and the complete defeat of Qian Qianyi.

No matter how the two sides clashed, the battle between Wen and Qian in the first year of Chongzhen had already been decided before it began, because the emperor's center of gravity had already tilted.

Qian Qianyi was dismissed from his post and returned to his hometown to listen to Kan, Qian Qianqiu was re-interrogated by the Criminal Department, and the other officials involved in the case, Zhang Yunru, Fang Kezhuang, Qu Shiyun, and Liang Zifan, were demoted one by one.

Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru both entered the cabinet with the titles of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Scholar of Dongge University, and the two celebrated each other.

As a result, the Chongzhen Dynasty still did not escape the fate of party strife.

Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru won a big victory, and the cabinet team was not yet perfect.

Han Yi as early as the first year of Taichang, August into the cabinet, assisted Guangzong, and assisted the young Xizong with the important ministers of Gu Life, and the famous minister Ye Xianggao in July of the fourth year of the Apocalypse was the first assistant, and Han Yi succeeded as the first assistant.

After Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, all parties recommended that Han Yi be recalled, but it was blocked by the opposition party Yang Weiyuan.

In May of the first year of Chongzhen, he sent people to summon him and arrived in Beijing in early October.

In mid-October, after Chongzhen summoned the ministers to discuss the court, Han Yifu was the first assistant.

After Han Yi became the first assistant, the political atmosphere in the entire court was already very tense.

The Donglin Party was unwilling, and soon the imperial historian Mao Jiuhua impeached Wen Tiren for building a shrine for Wei Zhongxian in Hangzhou, and also wrote poems to praise him.

Then there was the imperial history Ren Zanhua who impeached Wen Tiren for marrying a prostitute, accepting bribes, bullying men and women, seizing people's land, and interfering in lawsuits, and said that Zhou Yanru had close contacts with Feng Quan, a member of the eunuch cabinet.

It can be seen from this that the Donglin Party did everything possible to put Wen and Erren into the camp of the eunuch party.

In fact, at this time, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru have won Chongzhen's trust, and now Mao Jiuhua and Ren Zanhua have impeached Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru can only make Chongzhen's suspicion of the Donglin Party heavier, as the so-called "the stronger the attacker, the stronger the doubter".

Emperor Chongzhen ordered Wen Tiren to confront Mao Jiuhua and Ren Zanhua.

Wen Tiren said: "If I write a poem for Wei Yi, there must be an original manuscript, but where is the original manuscript now, why do I only see a woodcut book, Your Majesty can ask someone to find the carpenter who engraved the lettering, and ask him where the original manuscript came from?" ”

After listening to Wen Tiren's narration, Chongzhen asked Mao Jiuhua to answer. Mao Jiuhua said: "This woodcut was bought on the road in August. ”

Chongzhen asked: "I bought it in August, why did I report it in October?" ”

Jiuhua replied: "I have an exam in September." "Dancing in Chinese

Wen Tiren hurriedly said: "I joined Qianyi in October, since I have to take the exam in September, why don't I join the minister immediately after the exam, but wait until the minister finishes the Qianyi in October and then come to the minister?"

Chen Jinshi has never impeached anyone else in the past 30 years, and it is only because of Qian Qianyi that the attackers are everywhere.

As long as those who can kill their ministers and chase their ministers will do everything, there is no doubt that Mao Jiuhua is a party of Qianyi. ”

"The body is arguing." Chongzhen said.

Then, Chongzhen summoned Ren Zanhua into the palace to play right, Chongzhen said to Ren Zanhua: "Jiuhua Shentiren wrote poems is not true, why do you say so many rootless things?" ”

Ren Zanhua couldn't come up, Wen Tiren hurriedly said: "Zanhua Shu is all false, anyone who has been to Chen's hometown knows that the minister is married to the daughter of Chen Hejiao, and she is the daughter of a serious family.

This check can be seen that everything is gone, and it is so false. ”

Ren Zanhua hurriedly said: "What the minister said is an interview with the public, and everyone in the capital said so. ”

Wen Tiren hurriedly listed the evidence of Ren Zanhua and Qian Qianyi's alliance one by one.

In this way, the counterattack campaign launched by the Donglin Party was easily resolved by Wen Tiren, and the emperor demoted Mao and Ren to exile.

In fact, Wen Tiren and Qian Qianyi are not good people.

But in this political mutual attack in the first year of Chongzhen, Wen Tiren relied on his eloquence and psychology to grasp Chongzhen, as well as superb political attack skills, when the Donglin Party was preparing to make a comeback, he single-handedly beat this group of people to a collective silence.

When Wei Zhongxian had just committed suicide, Wen Tiren continued to fire at the Donglin Party, undoubtedly showing a super courage.

Perhaps the Donglin Party members did not understand to their deaths why so many people were always working against their group.

Their perseverance also meets those who have the spirit of perseverance.

The cabinet meeting in the first year of Chongzhen had already made Emperor Chongzhen distrust the Donglin Party.

In fact, less than a year after Chongzhen killed Wei Zhongxian, he regretted it.

Because he hired a large number of Donglin Party members, these people soon showed their true colors after being employed.

In less than a year, Chongzhen saw clearly what this group of people were.

In addition, the negative impact of the Qian Qianyi incident made the traitors Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren appreciated, and then trusted and relied on by Emperor Chongzhen.

In the first year of Chongzhen, on the first day of November, Bu Lostu arrived in Beijing with the submission documents of the right-wing departments outside the Saiwai.

"Report, great victory, great victory!"

Chongzhen on the dragon chair was dizzy because of the party dispute among the ministers.

Hearing the great victory, his mind was clear, and he stood up with a pout.

"What a big victory? What a big victory? Take your time. ”

"Shanxi general soldier Wang Zezhi led 3,000 fine cavalry, in the mouth of the tiger to defeat the tiger squatting rabbit 30,000 troops, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, and then fight the tiger squatting rabbit and Shan Yucheng.

Wang Zezhi, the chief soldier of Shanxi, personally guarded the city of Shan, and bombarded the tiger and rabbit army with red-coated cannons to attract the main force of the enemy to attack.

At that time, the cavalry ambushed the two wings of the city, detoured behind the enemy, and severely damaged the camp of the Tiger Squatting Rabbit Rear Army, and captured the Tiger Squatting Rabbit Daxu.

The tiger squatted and the rabbit was invincible and fled in embarrassment.

The general army of Shanxi Wang Ze's momentum is like a broken bamboo, several cities outside the Lianke Pass, and the departments outside the Saiwai were shocked by the military power of the Ming Dynasty, and they have asked for tribute and presented the submission documents. ”

Chongzhen was stunned in disbelief after hearing the good news.
