Outside the door of the main hall, several cabinet ministers were quietly waiting for the emperor's summons with cold sweat outside.

"Princess, how is the Holy One feeling now? You're going to tell us about it, so I can have a bottom in my heart. After seeing Wang Chengen walk out of the main hall and close the door of the main hall, the cabinet chief assistant hurriedly took a step forward, pulled Wang Chengen, and asked Wang Chengen with an expression that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The current cabinet chief assistant is no longer the previous Cheng Ji, but has been replaced by Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru is also a legendary person, a young man, at the age of twenty-one, he even won two yuan, became a fresh clothes angry horse, a young man in Wanli for forty-one years.

This shows that his talent and ability are outstanding.

In February of the third year of Chongzhen, Zhou Yanru successfully entered the Wenyuan Pavilion and became a cabinet minister.

In September of the same year, Zhou Yanru also successfully squeezed away Chengji, who had always regarded himself as a clear stream, and became the first assistant of the Ming cabinet.

Looking at Zhou Yanru's career as a cabinet minister, it can be regarded as a rare cabinet evergreen tree during the Chongzhen period, and now Zhou Yanru, who has been the first assistant of the cabinet for two years, has still not been dismissed or resigned, which is not an easy thing in the Chongzhen years.

"Elder Zhou Ge, the emperor must be in a bad mood, so don't bother to make the emperor wait for a long time, just deal with it carefully after you go in." Wang Chengen also said Chongzhen's mood, and hurriedly urged Zhou Yanru and others to enter the main hall.

"Thank you, Princess, for the point." Zhou Yanru also thanked Wang Chengen,

Then he hurriedly took the ministers behind him, crossed the high threshold of the Son of Heaven, bent over, and entered the main hall.

After entering the main hall, Zhou Yanru quickly knelt on the ground, showing a prostrate state, and claimed to be a capital crime.

Emperor Chongzhen's displeasure was in a mood, and he wanted to make a big fuss at the ministers first, but now he saw his Aiqing prostrate on the ground to plead guilty, and Chongzhen also burned down most of the time.

"Yanru. It's not your fault that this happened, so let's settle the matter first. Emperor Chongzhen suppressed the anger in his heart and said.

"Thank you for the Emperor's grace." After Zhou Yanru and the ministers thanked him, he got up slowly.

"Let's talk about it, how to deal with the chaos in Shandong now." Chongzhen didn't beat around the bush, and directly asked for a solution.

Zhou Yanru figured out that the Sacred Heart was very good, and naturally knew that if the emperor read the excerpt, he would definitely summon them to ask for countermeasures as soon as possible, and when this urgent report was delivered, Zhou Yanru pressed it in his hands for a while, and thought of countermeasures with his colleagues.

"Emperor Qi, now Kong Youde led the Shandong Liao soldiers to make a rebellion, a big reason is because Sun Yuanhua is not strict in governing the army, which makes the first rebellion."

"However, now Sun Yuanhua is still guarding Dengzhou, and Sun Yuanhua and the thief Kong Youde have the grace to take in and know the encounter, so it is not appropriate to punish Sun Yuanhua first.

"In addition, in order to prepare with both hands, I also asked Zhang Keda, the chief military officer of the Dengzhou garrison, to be fully prepared to defend against the enemy, and if the thieves do not surrender, they will be killed." Zhou Yanru said that the two methods he had figured out went hand in hand, and he must be able to win Chongzhen's satisfaction.

After listening to Zhou Yanru's strategy, Chongzhen pondered for a moment.

"Aiqing, the strategy you said should be the perfect strategy today, then follow what Aiqing said."

"Order Sun Yuanhua to make up for his mistakes and make meritorious contributions."

"If Kong Youde is lost and knows his way back, he can be exempted from his crimes, and if he continues to abuse the Quartet, he will immediately order the Shandong soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion." Emperor Chongzhen said word by word, still with anger on his face.

"Yes, the ministers are commanded." After Zhou Yanru heard Chongzhen's order, he hurriedly saluted again, preparing to immediately withdraw from the hall with the cabinet ministers.

When Emperor Chongzhen was so upset, he didn't want to be an eyesore here, if the emperor was angry, and something would involve him, wouldn't it be even worse.

Therefore, after Zhou Yanru finished saluting, he immediately fled and left the hall with his ministers.

Chongzhen was left in the main hall.

Chongzhen looked at the empty hall, picked up the imperial pen and wanted to continue to correct the recitals from all over the country.

But after all, my mind was disturbed, and I couldn't calm down, so I had to put down the pen and rest a little.

……

On Chenzhuang's side, Yuan Chao, who was resting in the house, heard a report from his subordinates, saying that Zhou Weihang was coming, and he had a message to tell.

Yuan Chao was preparing for a rare time to take a nap, and he was also disturbed and hurried to the lobby.

"What's going on? Wei Hang, I heard that you have something to say, tell me what happened again, could it be that Zu Dashou has rebelled again? Yuan Chao came to the lobby all the way, and he kept muttering in his heart, could it be that his little butterfly fanned Zu Dashou off the track of history again, and defected to the Jin Dynasty again?

"That's not true, I heard that Zu Dashou is now fighting with the Jin army in Jinzhou." Zhou Weihang looked at Yuan Chao's nervousness, and quickly said that it was not the news.

"Oh, that's good, then what's the point!" Yuan Chao breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, and then asked curiously.

Zhou Weihang didn't sell it either, and said. "Owner, according to reliable information, Kong Youde, who came from Deng, Shandong, rebelled, and I heard that he is now going to Dengzhou." Zhou Weihang lowered his voice and said this information.

"Kong Youde? Shandong? Rebellion? The Shandong Rebellion? Yuan Chao muttered a few times and remembered it instantly.

"How did I forget this stubble, Shandong is also fighting because of this matter." Yuan Chao muttered to himself in an almost silent tone.

Zhou Weihang looked at Yuan Chao's mouth and moved, and he didn't know what Yuan Chao was muttering.

"Owner? This Shandong is not too far away from us, if Kong Youde is big, or Kong Youde escapes, we must be prepared for defense, otherwise once there is a problem in the jurisdiction, the emperor will blame it, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the owner of the village to do it. Out of his own vision, Zhou Weihang reminded Yuan Chao to be careful to beware of Kong Youde's dog jumping off the wall.

However, Yuan Chao was thinking about another topic in his heart.

"How can I have a chance to beat up Kong Youde, a thief?" Yuan Chao muttered loudly at this time.

provoked Zhou Weihang's other words to persuade Yuan Chao to prepare for resistance, they all choked up and laughed dumbly.

"Owner, it seems that I am too worried." Zhou Weihang said with a smile.

"No, you didn't think much about it, your intelligence was very timely this time."

"Kong Youde, Mao Wenlong's old department, now mutinied to fight Dengzhou, Dengzhou has an army, artillery, ships, and docks, it seems to be solid, but if it is defeated, this guy can slip away from the sea at any time."

"Another dog jumped over the wall, surrendered to the Jin army, and let the Jin people learn firearms and ships, do you think this is a big disaster?" Yuan Chao told the bad things that Kong Youde did in later generations according to the hypothetical situation.

When Zhou Weihang heard this, he immediately felt that it was not impossible, but very possible, and his face became solemn.
