After thinking for a moment, Hong Chengchou raised his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Chen Qiyu, the former governor of the five provinces, can be the governor of the three sides. ”

To tell the truth, he recommended Chen Qiyu, a criminal official who was dismissed from office and exiled to the frontier, and the risk was very high. After all, it was Emperor Chongzhen who made this punishment back then, and as a courtier, recommending such a criminal official, doesn't it mean that there is a problem with your previous punishment!

If it was replaced by Hong Chengchou in front of King Qin, he would not have done this. But after this period of contact, Emperor Chongzhen had won his trust, so he didn't have to worry about personal interests, and only recommended the criminal officer Chen Qiyu purely from the consideration of Emperor Chongzhen's problem.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then his mind recalled the memory of Emperor Chongzhen and the impression of Chen Qiyu.

Seeing this, Hong Chengchou added a reason: "Your Majesty, this Chen Qiyu has suppressed thieves before, and his achievements are good, and his understanding of the root causes of thieves is also relatively profound. It's just that he doesn't know enough about one thing, and the court doesn't have the strength to appease the thieves who have returned to their hometowns to work as farmers, so there is a rebellion. Of course, he also lacked a little responsibility afterwards, so that if he did something wrong, he should be punished by His Majesty. ”

After serving as the governor of Yansui and exterminating the famous thieves in northern Shaanxi, Chen Qiyu wrote to the imperial court about the famine in several towns in northern Shaanxi, so Emperor Chongzhen at that time exempted the land rent in Yan'an, Qing'an and other places.

Thus, he released the ordinary thieves home, at least during his tenure, and did not make any more trouble. It was also because of this that he was given an experience that these thieves were forced to rebel, and as long as they were given a chance, they would repent and reform themselves.

So, in Chen Qiyu's life, he made a big mistake, he released the desperate thieves who had to surrender home, and there was not enough force to deter them, which led to the rebellion of these thieves immediately after they got out of trouble, and finally became the main reason for him to go to his post and exile to the frontier.

But no matter what, he still has a set of ways to exterminate the thieves.

After listening to Hong Chengchou's words, Emperor Chongzhen remembered Chen Qiyu's information, so he nodded slightly.

Speaking of which, Chen Qiyu's basic idea is that there is no problem, and he has the ability, at least he can suppress the thieves, but as Hong Chengchou said, he lacks a little responsibility. But this can't be blamed on him, at least at that time, the original Emperor Chongzhen didn't give him a sense of security, and he wanted to find someone to be a scapegoat, which was also a choice that ordinary officials would make.

As for the matter of recruiting thieves, if you don't know the situation in the afterlife, it's really hard to say whether it's right or wrong. After all, some of the thieves have been contributing to the Ming Dynasty since Zhao'an, and they fought everywhere until they were martyred. And some of the thieves rebelled after recruiting An, and took a pit of Zhao'an officials, Chen Qiyu is.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen remembered that just after the war against the captives ended, he had already sent Jinyiwei to secretly go south and send a decree to Xiong Wencan, the prime minister of the five provinces, asking him to send Zhang Xianzhong to Beijing.

For this Zhang Xianzhong, Emperor Chongzhen was actually a little confused.

Judging from the original history, he surrendered and rebelled, and later established himself as the emperor, this kind of person is stubborn, and he will be killed directly.

However, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as the main force against the Qing Dynasty, it was the Great Western Army he created, and his adopted son Li Dingguo became a famous anti-Qing hero and national hero in later generations!

From this point of view, was the Great Western Army, that is, Zhang Xianzhong, forced to rebel again? Emperor Chongzhen was a little uncertain. Of course, the later performance of the Great Western Army can also be said to be Zhang Xianzhong's death at the hands of the Tartars, so his righteous son realized that the Manchu Tartars were the main enemy, so there was a matter of Lianming to resist the Qing Dynasty.

However, others are not easy to say, such as Sun Kewang, who failed to seize power and finally surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but Li Dingguo was very loyal to the Southern Ming court, and it can be said that he could not do it to the extent that most of the Ming courtiers, including the famous Zheng Chenggong in later generations, could not do. For Nanming, he is really loyal to the country, and he is gone.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen decided to recruit Zhang Xianzhong and several of his righteous sons to Jingshi, and only by seeing them with his own eyes can he decide the disposal of Zhang Xianzhong and others.

These things flashed in Emperor Chongzhen's mind, and then he said to Hong Chengchou: "Okay, according to what Hong Qing said, I have decided to recall Chen Qiyu and talk to him face to face, and if I am satisfied, he will take over the post of governor of the three sides." ”

Hong Chengchou listened to it, and he was also happy in his heart, after all, the governor of the three sides was a feudal official, and just because of his words, the candidate was decided. It can be seen that he is very heavy in the emperor's heart. As a result, he is also looking forward to what his new position will be.

However, he didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen would hang his appetite. I only heard Emperor Chongzhen look at him and say: "Hong Qing is good at maneuvering officialdom and understands military affairs, so I need Qing to help me pacify a place." But not yet, I will talk to Qing about this in a few days. ”

"......" Hong Chengchou was speechless when he heard this, but the emperor said this, although he was not happy in his heart, but he couldn't force the emperor to say it, so he could only bow down and obey the order.

At the same time, he was also curious in his heart, where did the officialdom need to be appeased? Do you still need to know the army, you need to transfer yourself from the trilateral governorship? The land of Gyeonggi, Hebei or Shandong? But these places are now under the jurisdiction of Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng!

Thinking about it, he couldn't figure out where he would be sent.

Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, who were listening, were also curious, but they also couldn't think of what Hong Chengchou's new official position would be?

They were guessing in their hearts, but Emperor Chongzhen had already turned his head to look at them and said to the two of them: "The focus of the two Aiqing should be military. As for civil affairs, I have two talents, and I will arrange to help them. ”

After saying this, without waiting for the two of them to ask, he said it directly. I saw that he turned his head to look at Sun Chuanting first and said: "Zuo Yingxuan was once the commander of Changli County, and he was able to unite the people of a county town to resist the siege of the Tartar army for many days, which shows that his grasp of the people's hearts is still good." I have already issued a will to summon Zuo Yingxuan before, and I am ready to appoint him as the governor of Shuntian, a full-time civil officer, and share the pressure for the secretary, okay? ”

Sun Chuanting listened, thought for a while, and then replied: "Your Majesty, if this person is not in line with the minister's wishes and conflicts with him, can he be restrained?" ”

Theoretically, he was the governor of Jiliao, the governor of Shuntian and the governor of Liaodong. But the emperor attached so much importance to this Zuo Yingxuan, he was a little worried, so he asked bluntly face to face.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about his rectum, and said with a slight smile: "Of course, it is mainly Qing, if there is a conflict between him and Qing's policy, Qing tells me that I will transfer him out." ”

After receiving this assurance from the emperor, Sun Chuanting had no more opinions. As for the governor of Liaodong, in fact, he has no jurisdiction, he has an official title, and he himself is in Shanhaiguan, so he doesn't consider it at all.

Originally, there was also the governor of Baoding under the command of the governor of Jiliao. However, just last year, that is, in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the imperial court set up a new governor of Baoding, which was separated from the governor of Jiliao, and governed the four governors of Baoding, Tianjin, Shandong, and Denglai. Lu Xiangsheng's new official position is this.

Of course, in the original history, the purpose of the new governor of the imperial court was still inland, and the main duty was also to guard against thieves. But now, Emperor Chongzhen has changed his intentions, and the focus of the governor of Baoding is actually to deal with Jianyu.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that he had nothing to say, so he turned his head to look at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Lu Qing is also here, Chen Hongxu, the governor of Jinzhou, Lu Qing knows, I decided to promote him to the governor of Denglai, mainly to manage the people's livelihood and share the pressure for Qing, how about it?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng has a good impression of Chen Hongxu, and he has been in contact with him before. And now that Sun Chuanting's question was in front of him, he didn't need to ask again, so he bowed down to receive the order.

When the monarch talked about this, it was almost evening, and Emperor Chongzhen didn't say more, and asked Lu Xiangsheng and the other three to go back to the house to rest first, and then he explained to Wang Chengen: "The imperial horse supervisor here, you should remember the example of the king's heart, I will come from time to time, don't let me down, if there is any difficulty, report it to me!" ”

"Slave obeys!" When Wang Chengen heard this, he hurriedly replied, "The slave and maid have been blessed by His Majesty, and they are not to blame in the past, even if they have great courage, they dare not live up to the grace of God again!" ”

"Good!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded and said, "Let's go back to the palace!" ”

When he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a line of handwriting appeared. Obviously, this is the eavesdropping system moving again, and needless to say, there must be something good.

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen looked at it happily.

"In the troubled times, the emperor has no military power, he cannot suppress the world, the government decree is not compatible, and the ministers who obey the yang and the yin will appear in an endless stream. Now, the host controls the military power of the most elite Praetorian Guard of the Ming Dynasty, which is gratifying, and rewards a C-level eavesdropping seed. ”

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be depressed, he mastered the military power, and only then rewarded a C-level eavesdropping seed, which is too picky, right? Why don't you have a Grade A eavesdropping seed?

As soon as he thought about it, he saw that there were still words showing up one after another, so he immediately looked at it again.

"Holding military power, it is divided into several classes. The lowest level is that the commander is the confidant minister, so the degree of military power depends on the ability of the confidant minister. If the ability is strong, he is actually in charge of the army, but he is suspected of being too big to lose. It is not the best relationship with the king and the minister. ”

"The middle means of mastering military power is that the general who is the commander is the confidant minister, and the chief general is the general who is loyal to the king, so that the degree of military power is more solid, and it can basically be worry-free, which is harmony for the king and the ministers."

"And the top means of mastering military power is to subdue the three armies, and all the soldiers obey the king, and only recognize the king. As the king's will indicates, one after the other, go forward bravely, and have no fear even if they are swords, mountains and fires. ”

"Now the host's mastery of the Son of Heaven is at the top level. Congratulations, a Grade A eavesdropping seed is hereby rewarded for encouragement! ”

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen finally smiled happily. Okay, you system, it turns out that I'm waiting for me here, hehe, I like it!

He could feel that the system was supposed to only reward a bugging seed, but he didn't expect that he had achieved the top means, so he would be rewarded with an additional Grade A eavesdropping seed. Of course, if it is a medium means of mastering military power, it is estimated that there will be additional rewards, but it is definitely not a first-class eavesdropping seed. As for the most inferior means, any king will, and it is estimated that there will be no additional rewards.

What Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect was that the text of the eavesdropping system continued to be displayed, which means that there are probably good things. So he went on with joy.

"A good man and three gangs, even if it is an emperor, also need the assistance of capable ministers. Now the host and the three capable ministers are in their hearts and arrange one side, but the three capable ministers accept it calmly, which is a manifestation of the heart of the courtiers. This is also a must for ZTE Daming, congratulations, reward one Class A eavesdropping seed, or three C-level eavesdropping seeds, the host chooses! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, yes, now the system has given him the right to choose. So the next question is, is it better to choose one Grade A eavesdropping seed, or three Grade C eavesdropping seeds?

Looking at this multiple-choice question, Emperor Chongzhen thought about the future layout a little, and immediately ordered three C-level eavesdropping seeds.

"Congratulations to the host, the three C-level eavesdropping seeds have arrived, please check!"

Emperor Chongzhen really had a bumper harvest this time, opened it and verified, and this time a total of one Grade A eavesdropping seed, one Grade B eavesdropping seed, and three Grade C eavesdropping seeds were included. In this way, the eavesdropping seeds at hand will be more abundant.

So who should it be used for? This is a question to consider. By the way, the eavesdropping seeds that should be replaced must also be replaced.

Big harvest, this gave Emperor Chongzhen the motivation to work overtime, although it was late, he thought about it, and summoned Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, alone, and immediately ordered him to secretly investigate the hoarding of grain by grain merchants in Jingshi and the surrounding areas, and if there was a hoarding of grain in various prefectures, it would also be secretly investigated.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also gave the same secret decree to Cao Huachun, the governor of Dongchang, and asked Cao Huachun to secretly investigate. Because next, we have to make a big deal for grain merchants. After all, on the Jin Shang side, if you want to check it, you still have to take some time, and the 200,000 refugees before are waiting to be fed, and they need to find a way as soon as possible.

However, what Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect was that those things about Fan Ji Qianzhuang came faster and fiercer than he imagined.

But it's not surprising to imagine that these rich people nowadays, whether they are royal relatives or civil and military generals, even have to complain about raising a refugee. In this way, if the Fan Ji Qian Zhuang silver ticket in their hands becomes waste paper, it will simply cut their flesh, and they will definitely find a reason to recover their losses.
