Daming Jingshi, go north to Beijing.

The Tartars are so raging, and the capital is still prosperous. So close, the desolation and bloodshed of the battlefield are simply two heavens compared to here.

The soldiers and civilians may have gotten used to it, because this is not the first time Tako has visited, and every time the Tartar comes, he loots villages and towns, kills some people, robs people and animals and property and leaves, and this time is probably the same.

They can't do this kind of thing if they are afraid, just like they don't know which day a natural disaster or man-made disaster will happen, anyway, they can't control it, only by fate, whoever stands on the stall will be unlucky!

If you don't have a stall, you still live your own life, which may be a numb mentality.

Three teachings and nine streams, five elements and eight works, as always, the brothel of the Red Mansion in Shangjing is still open, and the prince and grandson still come and go, so the guests are overflowing.

The palace is even more peaceful, the civil and military officials are still intrigued, and Emperor Chongzhen is the only one, and he is very busy.

It has been eight years since Chongzhen succeeded to the throne. In the past eight years, he has been busy for eight years, clearing out the chaotic party Wei Zhongxian, providing disaster relief everywhere, dealing with the government all night, he must bow down to everything, take the lead in advocating frugality, three meals a day, vegetarian tea and light rice, no gold and silver utensils, his queen of the main palace is dressed in a phoenix robe, wearing patches and stacking patches.

If you want to evaluate model workers, Emperor Chongzhen is definitely a veritable national model worker.

In the past eight years, Emperor Chongzhen's originally small figure has lost weight three times.

However, as far as the emperor is concerned, the lonely man is working selflessly, and the civil and military officials are basically watching. What's even more odious is that those huge civilian-bureaucratic groups headed by the Donglin Party still find fault with Emperor Chongzhen in different ways at every turn.

For these deep-rooted civil officials, criticism in various ways, Emperor Chongzhen still has to endure it, and then strive to do his best, in this case, only today left, tomorrow right. Monitor Zhang San today, reuse Li Si tomorrow, and remove Li Si's official detention and imprisonment the day after tomorrow.

However, at present, Emperor Chongzhen's top concern is the battle between Lu Xiangsheng and Tartar.

Speaking from his heart, he very much hopes that his Lu Aiqing can succeed immediately and annihilate all these hateful Tartars, and this Jiangshan Sheji must still be his.

But as soon as he thought that since he ascended the throne, these Tartars have not stopped, knocking on the door twice in three days, and it has intensified, first occupying the four cities of Yongping, and today occupying 12 cities of Gyeonggi, most of the "civil and military slaves" he spends a lot of money every year to raise them are not successful, and the civil war is not good, and the foreign war is not good, so that these Tartars, like entering a no-man's land, wantonly ravages Gyeonggi, and internal and external troubles make him anxious.

Now Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, these bandits, have gone to the south again, and went to his hometown in Fengyang to dig up all the ancestral graves for him, which is really arrogant, if you can give the Tartars a little benefit, let them quickly retreat in peace, so as to free up their hands to clean up these thieves, it is undoubtedly a feasible strategy.

It's just that I don't know if this King Lu Yan can be of great use against the Tartars?

Emperor Chongzhen, walking around in front of the dragon book case......

Cao Huachun, the chief eunuch of the Admiral Dongchang, received a secret report from the front and immediately ordered someone to summon Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen is the master of ceremonies, the most loyal eunuch who accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself on the coal mountain a few years later.

At this time, Wang Chengen was "approving red", that is, exercising the authority to review the chapter instead of Chongzhen. Approval of red is the patent of these powerful eunuchs, and it is also a characteristic of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, the eunuchs approved red, which could reduce the burden on the emperor and improve the efficiency of the palace.

However, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor neglected political affairs, and generally handed over major and minor matters to the eunuchs for arbitrary decision, and sometimes they didn't even ask, which was equivalent to completely delegating power to the eunuchs, and what was even more powerful was that the Wanli Emperor did not go to court for more than 20 years.

No wonder, the eunuchs will be autocratic.

But now in the Chongzhen era, Emperor Chongzhen has made great efforts, and the red of the celebrant is different from the original.

After the approval of the red, no matter how big or small, all major and small matters have to be reported and instructed, and the emperor has the final holy judgment.

The Ming Empire is inextricably linked, especially in this eventful season, big and small affairs, it is simply full of sweat, local, capital, military, political, economic and people's livelihood, disaster relief, impeachment and recall, personnel promotion, and so on.

Therefore, Wang Chengen was very busy, and he didn't dare to be negligent, because he knew that this Chongzhen Lord was a little difficult to serve, his heart was busy, his temper was big, and his requirements were high, and if he was a little careless, it was the crime of turning around.

Now he is reading a recital, which is written by Li Qi, the prefect of Yongping, and the excerpt says that Amin and Yue Tuo led tens of thousands of Tartars to Yongping, and under his strategy, the Yongping army and civilians won three battles and three victories, and even pouted two big Baylors, inflicting heavy losses on the Tartars. However, Yongping now lacks army commanders, food and money, guns and artillery. I hope that the emperor can send rescue troops as soon as possible and allocate more money, food and equipment. In this battle with the Tartars, the garrison Wang Cheng defected and was executed, and the official Zhang Shouye was martyred, and a meritorious general named Lin Yi emerged, who is now the general manager of the army, and was recommended to be promoted to the garrison of the city.

There were votes from the Ministry of War and the Cabinet, and they unanimously agreed to the prefect's request to play, and promoted Li Qi and Lin Yi and other Yongping officials, just waiting for him to approve the red and play the emperor.

Wang Chengen naturally had no opinion on this matter, and was about to approve the red, when Cao Huachun's people arrived, and Wang Chengen hurried to see the factory father.

After retreating left and right, Cao Huachun said: "The soldiers under Governor Lu, led by Lin Yi, slandered the emperor and were dissatisfied with the imperial court, so they should be dealt with strictly at this time."

When Wang Chengen heard it, the name Lin Yi was more familiar, and it also involved Governor Lu, and immediately folded Yongping Lai's performance, and after research, they felt that Yongping Prefect and Lin Yi and others were one party, not only had no merit, but were guilty, and they dared to criticize the court behind the scenes, no matter how great the merit was. Governor Lu Xiangsheng was also implicated in the crime of improper use of personnel and negligence.

The two big eunuchs felt that this matter was a bit big, and a few dog officials in Yongping didn't care, killing them was like pigs slaughtering pigs and slaughtering dogs, but Lin Yi is now Lu Xiangsheng's subordinate general, Lu Xiangsheng is a popular man in front of Chongzhen, a first-class officer, and a heavy soldier, this matter is not easy to play, so the two of them came to see his master with a twist and a secret letter.

This is the first time that his name has entered the emperor's sight after Lin Yi crossed over.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but take the case, Lin Yi? Where did such a person come out! A small frontier soldier, with such outstanding merits, dared to be dissatisfied with the court before waiting for the court to be rewarded, and discussed the government and criticized his strengths and weaknesses.

Chongzhen also has some doubts about this Lu Aiqing, not doubting his ability, but doubting his loyalty, his subordinates discuss the government in vain, and are dissatisfied with the court, which shows that his Qin army's military heart is already unstable, how many generals have two hearts for the court, this matter must be thoroughly investigated.

Emperor Chongzhen immediately sent an edict to Jinyiwei to Yongping to arrest Li Qi and others, for Lu Xiangsheng and this Lin Yi, Chongzhen is not confused, the enemy is current, if Lu Xiangsheng and Lin Yi are arrested and punished, it is tantamount to abolishing martial arts and helping the Tartars.

After thinking about it, he decided to let them go for a while, and let them finish this battle, and then send the factory guards to arrest them and examine them......

After leaving Chongzhen, Cao Huachun immediately called the head of Dongchang to punish Qianhu and ordered him to send the factory guards to Yongping to take all the prefects and the chief officials of the three divisions and yamen to review and punish the crime.

Then, Gonggong Cao passed down a secret order, ordering the factory to continue to monitor the words and deeds of Lu Xiangsheng and Lin Yi......

Because of the tight war, Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses only rested for two days before setting off.

Lin Yi walked between the teams, his mind had not been idle, although he had not caught the thief, but he had been thinking about the events of that night.

If it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng's night patrol personnel to make trouble, the thief would definitely not be able to escape, he obviously saw the thief hit him with a dagger knife, but after explaining the situation to the patrol members, there was no trace of the thief in a blink of an eye, and only some blood stains were found behind Governor Lu's tent, and the thief disappeared out of thin air.

He just came to Lord Lu's military camp, there is no enemy, he should not be an assassin who came to kill him, he has just finished a big battle, and in this wilderness, the thief cannot be a Tartar and a thief.

Such a large military camp has alarmed so many people to search and arrest, and the thieves will not change like 72, it is absolutely impossible to escape the sight of so many people and run out, he must still be in the barracks. Later, it was never exposed, and there was only one explanation, that there was a mole in the camp.

But the military camp of the Governor is a Crouching Tiger, up to the Governor, there are also the general soldiers, deputy general soldiers, and general guerrillas in the middle, and he is just a small, newcomer, not in the stream, and has not yet been officially authorized by the imperial court Guerrilla commander, who wants money but no money, and has no power, what does this traitor mean when he comes up and stares at himself? The Qin army, which is famous all over the world, isn't it ironclad?

No, this traitor must be found......
