As soon as Emperor Chongzhen saw these five words, his face immediately changed greatly, and in his anger, he also had a bit of vinegar. [No pop-ups. He angrily pointed his finger at Tian Guifei and asked her angrily, "This ...... This...... What is, what is it...... What the? ”

Tian Guifei knelt on the ground in shock, and said vigorously: "The concubine should die!" Damn the concubine! This was sent by the little eunuch, and the concubine didn't look closely at what was written in these small characters, begging the emperor to be angry, begging the emperor to be angry~"

Emperor Chongzhen didn't wait for Tian Guifei to finish speaking, then stood up, threw the pair of embroidered shoes on the ground, and brushed his sleeves away.

As for this Tian Guifei, she was even frightened and dizzy, and fell to the ground...... Since then, she has been ill

Let's say that this Emperor Chongzhen was angry, and after walking out of Chengqian Palace, he walked all the way, and after a while, he came to Kunning Palace, where Empress Zhou lived. 3。

Empress Zhou saw that Emperor Chongzhen was unhappy, and thought that it might be that Huguang or Liaodong had another defeat, so she said slowly: "Your Majesty can't worry about that thief all day long, whether it is a thief or a thief, it can't be solved in a day or two. Your Majesty must not be overly concerned and injure the Holy Communion. ”

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Now, I am not angry for the thieves in Huguang, but by my side, by my side...... The minister was derelict in his duties, greedy for ink, took bribes, and ~ and even ~ through the inside~ even to my pillow ~~"

Emperor Chongzhen said this angrily, stopped, and after taking a breath for a while, he explained the matter of Zhou Yanru's "Tongnei" to Empress Zhou in detail. After speaking, he also vowed to issue a decree to investigate Zhou Yanru's dismissal.

Empress Zhou listened to what Emperor Chongzhen said, and hurriedly got up and persuaded: "The emperor must not!" Don't! This matter is too blasphemous, and if it spreads, it will be too embarrassing for the court and the emperor. 3。 I also ask His Majesty the Emperor to calm his anger for the time being. Even if this Zhou Yanru is really not a good thing, he must tolerate it for a few days, find another way, and then punish him. At that time, even if he is put to death, it will have nothing to do with this ugliness, and no trace will be revealed. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, silent in thought

However, before Emperor Chongzhen could figure out how to deal with Zhou Yanru, on the morning of October 10, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the news came from the border pass that Jizhou had been broken and the capital could be attacked at any time. The city of Beijing was immediately closed to martial law. So on the 11th and 12th, there were no police in Beijing. Zhou Yanru thought that the situation was expected by him, and he was very proud of it. It was known that on the morning of the 13th, the Qing army suddenly moved south, and for a time "Jifu was left and right, and the beasts and birds were flying", and the defenders of Beijing hurriedly closed their doors and defended themselves. 4。

Emperor Chongzhen was furious, thinking that this was the fifth time that Dongyu had hit his door, he said angrily: "The side will not be enough, the side will have nothing to rely on, and I hate the post even more, Tang Bao is not, two Fu and one town, all of them will be imprisoned for me~" So he first executed Ma Chengming and Pan Yongtu, the governors of Yongping and Shuntian, and the two were beheaded in Xishi. As for that town, it refers to Tang Tong, who is stationed in Miyun. But Tang Tong also had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his hands, and in the end, Chongzhen still failed to deal with him

Immediately afterwards, Chongzhen convened the ministers and announced a major news: the royal conquest

The crowd was in an uproar

Zhou Yanru hurriedly dissuaded and said that he was willing to take the place of the emperor. Chongzhen sneered and said, "I just calculated a hexagram, and this is a good opportunity to become a teacher." 1。 If the gentleman really wants to go, he will go out immediately. After leaving the palace gate, go east, and be sure not to turn west. Zhou Yanru's home is west of the palace gate, and after he left the palace, he didn't even dare to go back to his home.

Zhou Yanru led a large group of elite soldiers out of Beijing, and went to the expedition with four ministers: Jiang Gongchen, Yushi, Yin Minxing, Lang Langzhong, Fang Shiliang, and Liu Jiaji. When he arrived in Tongzhou, he stopped and didn't leave.

The emperor ordered Zhou Yanru to go out of Beijing to invite the Qing army, why didn't he leave as soon as he left Beijing?

It turned out that this week, Yanru got Tang Tong, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, and Gao Jie in Tongzhou. He took all the generals of the four towns as his protégés. The auxiliary ministers of the Ming Dynasty accepted four generals and students from the military town, which was naturally a big thing, and it was natural to receive a great gift from the teacher. 5。 So he took the four ministers to the four town generals to take turns to eat the apprenticeship banquet, and then took the four protégés to the four ministers to take turns to eat the congratulatory banquet. So he did the east again, starting from the venue of the four towns to the venue of the four ministers, which took at least sixteen days, and at this time the other four towns came to the king of Qin, so he continued to take turns to invite and return. Drinking alcohol can also lead to times when you drink too much, so naturally you need to take a few days off from time to time. In this way, a month passed easily. A month later, the Qing army took the initiative to withdraw from Guanwai, and Zhou Yanru returned to Beijing in triumph. It is said that Emperor Chongzhen took his hand to comfort him.

Within a few days, Zhou Yanru's reports of lying about the military situation and deceiving the emperor were successively sent to the emperor by Luo Yangxing. And he is also guilty of the great crime of "passing inside". So, he immediately ordered Jinyi Wei to capture Zhou Yanru from his hometown back to the capital and ordered him to commit suicide. 7。 At that time, Luo Yangxing went to pass the decree and conduct an autopsy, he was afraid that Zhou Yanru would not die, so he used a big iron nail to nail into the head of the former prime minister.

After Zhou Yanru was executed, Chongzhen suddenly thought of why Song Youliang and Hong Chengchou's soldiers and horses did not move? Why wasn't there a little show beforehand?

Luo Yangxing reminded Chongzhen at this time, and said, "The military information that the minister entered the palace overnight to report was sent by Liaodong!" But ~~" Luo Yangxing didn't continue

Only then did Chongzhen remember that he had listened to Zhou Yanru's words and had not paid enough attention to that military situation. Chongzhen was ashamed and annoyed, and in a fit of rage, he ordered Song Youliang and Hong Chengchou to immediately attack Jianzhou.

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

Let's say that Song Youliang has long had the idea of giving up Chongzhen, so even if Chongzhen orders to transfer himself to King Qin this time, he will sit idly by. 6。 This time, Chongzhen ordered to attack Jianzhou, and Song Youliang's idea was to seize the northeast as his base.

After two ups and downs, Sun Chuanting was also disappointed in Chongzhen, and all he was thinking about now was how to help his students govern the hard-won southern Liaoning.

"These are Zhou Guoqing, Wei Daheng, He Mingwei, He Guoxian, Gao Jinku, Dong Xueli, He Yong~" Sun Chuanting introduced Song Youliang one by one. These seven people were all the generals of He Renlong when he was in the northwest, and they were all brave and good at fighting

"Everyone~" Song Youliang said: "The imperial court does not cherish talents, and it was not Sun Gong who killed General He, but the officials in the court who shook their lips all day long. The fact that a few people can come to me today is their trust in me Song Youliang. In the past, you and General He Renlong bled together~~ Today~~ Just shed with me Song Youliang! ”

He Mingwei is He Renlong's cousin, and he choked up: "The imperial court has too many military attaches to us~" The other six people also bowed their heads and were silent

Song Youliang said loudly: "Don't worry, it won't be like this in Dengzhou~ For the sake of the 100,000 people in southern Liaoning, please lend me your strength~"

He Mingwei bowed and said: "We have long heard that Pingbeibo is an invincible and victorious general, and we are not unable to defeat the rogues in the pass, but there are too many people who hinder them. 5。 I'm going to prove this with our military exploits in southern Liaoning~~"

Zhou Guoqing, Wei tycoon He Guoxian, Gao Jinku, Dong Xueli, He Yong and others also bowed down and said: "I am willing to serve death!" ”

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

The words are divided into two ends, one for each table

Besides, the news of Zhou Yanru's death was quickly sent to Zhangjiakou by Fan Yongdou's eyeliner arranged in Beijing, Fan Yongdou sighed, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a companion like a tiger~"

Fan Yongdou sighed with emotion, his eyes never left the abacus in Fan Fu's hand, "Ah Fu, are our goods ready?" ”

Fan Fu crackled the abacus, and after a while, he turned his head and replied: "Back to the east, the grain has reached 100,000 stones, 60,000 catties of pig iron, and 10,000 horses of cotton cloth. 1。 ”

Fan Yongdou frowned, "Why is there so little cotton??" ”

Fan Fu said: "These 10,000 horses are all Shandong cloth, and Songjiang cloth has not been transported, I heard that the merchants there are begging for nothing but refusing to collect cash tickets." ”

"Those mud legs in Dongting Lake are really unreasonable~" Fan Yongdou scolded: "Are you afraid that my Hengtong Silver has no silver?" Fan Yongdou shrunk his neck and said: "It's about to be winter, cotton cloth can be sold at a good price, so let's tell those shopkeepers who handle the goods that the silver will be the silver." 7。 ”

Fan Fu nodded, opened an account book and looked at it, then shook his head and said, "Owner, last month, Songjiang's silver number was only more than 50,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid it won't be enough." ”

"If it's not enough, it's from Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Yingtian!" Fan Yongdou said: "Keep Prince Rui's thick legs, are you afraid that there will be no money to make in the future?" Besides, we also have to take advantage of the fact that the stinky hill bastards at the border pass haven't returned from Beijing. ”

"Yes~The little one knows~" Fan Fu hurriedly found a few young men and told them to pass the word

Then Fan Fu said to Fan Yongdou: "The owner, there is another situation, the little one feels that he must report it to the owner." ”

"What?" Fan Yongdou asked

Fan Fu took out the account book and said: "In recent months, except for Shaanxi, Henan and Ningxia, which have withdrawn from the village, the number of people who have opened accounts in other villages has increased by forty percent. The little ones are a little worried~"

"It's a good thing that there are many people who come to our silver account to open an account, what is there to worry about?" Fan Yongdou said with a smile

Fan Fu said: "However, the time and place of these people's account opening are very concentrated, but the amount of silver that can be deposited is very small, generally only ten taels or twenty taels. The small ones also sent people to inquire about the details of those people, many of whom were from the same workshop or under the same boss. ”

"Huh? Why didn't you report it earlier? Fan Yongdou felt a faint sense of unease

"I've been busy with goods before, and I haven't noticed it~" Fan Fu said

"How many silver tickets have we issued recently, and how much cash have we paid?" Fan Yongdou asked hurriedly

Fan Fu was stunned for a moment and said: "Zhangjiakou has 40,000 taels of silver and more than 98,000 silver tickets, and the rest of the Waizhuang don't know yet, but a large number of goods have been handled recently, and the number will definitely not be small." ”

"Check~~ Check it for me immediately~" Fan Yongdou felt a little uneasy

Fan Fu comforted: "Don't worry too much about the owner, maybe I'm too careful, didn't I put a lot of silver and silver tickets out of the customs in the past?" ”

"Hmm~~Be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship~" Fan Yongdou smiled
