Volume 7 Chapter 47 Zhang Bin's comeback

The ancestral tomb was dug up, the imperial tomb was burned, and Chongzhen was really angry.

The book of the military department, masturbated!

Governor of the five provinces, masturbated!

Governor Fengyang, cut it!

What else is the imperial history and commander, as long as it is related to Fengyang, all of them will be cut!

He went crazy, he didn't even let go of himself, he put down his self-esteem, regardless of his embarrassment, issued an "edict of guilt", confessed his mistakes to his subjects in the world, and scolded himself severely.

After the madness, he reluctantly found that he still had to live this day, this emperor still had to be appropriate, and this thief still had to be suppressed, what should I do?

He really didn't know what to do!

Fortunately, there is an ancestral system, when the court encounters major political affairs, the emperor will order the courtiers to discuss with each other, measure the appropriate, and then take the decree to decide.

In the golden autumn of October, it was originally the harvest season, but the drought in the northwest made it almost impossible to harvest, Chongzhen collected a wave of heads, and after scolding himself, he finally calmed down.

In the early days of this day, after the right session, Chongzhen personally announced that he would begin to discuss the plan to suppress the thieves.

Something strange happened, he waited for nearly a quarter of an hour, but no one stood up, and the entire court was silent like a ghost domain!

Is there no one in the Ming Dynasty Hall at this time?

This is nonsense, there are thousands of officials in Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, but there are few who dare not to participate in the early dynasty, and the front of the imperial palace is densely packed with people!

However, at this time, there are not many people who can be regarded as real "people" standing above the court in a high-sounding manner.

Wen Tiren used the Jingcha plan to frantically eliminate dissidents and promote cronies, and now, in the entire court, the people who can speak are either his henchmen or the remnants of the eunuch party and shameless officials who are attached to him, and they are truly worthy of their conscience, and they can be counted on both hands who are not in the same stream as him.

Of course, Zhang Bin can be counted as the last one, but he was repeatedly targeted by Wen Tiren, and was deliberately suppressed by Chongzhen, so he was almost dismissed and cut off, at this time, what else can he say, it is impossible to exterminate the anti-thief, at least now!

Don't say anything else, let's just say that Wu Zhenying, the governor of the three sides, can this Wen Tiren's brother-in-law listen to himself, the 50,000 Qin army in the hands of this guy is the key to exterminating the peasant army, if he makes trouble behind his back, let alone exterminate the anti-thief, it is good if he is not destroyed by the anti-thief.

Therefore, Zhang Bin stood there without saying a word, as if he had settled down.

In addition to Zhang Bin, Xu Guangqi, a cabinet scholar, is definitely an upright official, but his main energy is spent on writing books and sayings, although he also has a little research on military affairs, however, he has not studied military affairs for a long time, and he does not know much about the situation of anti-thieves, so he does not dare to speak indiscriminately.

Cao Xuan, the head of the household, can also be regarded as an upright official, but he is in charge of money, not leading troops, and he really doesn't know anything about the extermination of anti-thieves, so he didn't speak.

There is also Huang Chenghao, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, under Zhang Bin's "transformation", he barely completed the transformation from a beast to a human, but he also didn't know anything about suppressing thieves, so he didn't dare to speak.

At this time, there are only these honest officials in the court who really have a little power, and other officials such as Wen Zhenmeng and Kong Zhenyun, although they are also honest officials, the problem is that they are equivalent to professors in the university at this time, purely academic, thieves, and they can't fight with them!

Chongzhen didn't expect this to be the case with the court council he initiated, these courtiers, once the court promoted officials, it was called an active, let them discuss the suppression of thieves, but they were all like dumb people!

He couldn't help but raise his head and look down one by one.

The first one is naturally Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, who is standing there with a benevolent eyebrow at this moment, with his head slightly bowed, just like the Bodhisattva in the temple, purely a sculpture!

Although it is a kind of respect to bow his head and not dare to look at the emperor, Chongzhen did not feel a little fear, how he looked at it like this, how did he feel that he was evading.

That's right, he's just running away.

The head of the cabinet has never made any suggestions for the suppression of thieves and the recovery of Liaodong, and he seems to be purely ignorant of these things.

Chongzhen shook his head secretly and continued to look down.

Followed by Qian Xiangkun, the second assistant of the cabinet, this thing seemed to be imitating Wen Tiren, and he was standing there like a statue, and there was no reaction at all.

Chongzhen secretly shook his head again and continued to look down.

Followed by Xu Guangqi, a cabinet scholar, for him, Chongzhen really can't ask for anything, because he has compiled two masterpieces for the Ming Dynasty, "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" and "Chongzhen Almanac", just in terms of the masterpieces, there are really few emperors of the Ming Dynasty who can compare with him Chongzhen, Xu Guangqi has done enough.

Then, Xie Sheng, the secretary of the Cabinet University Scholars' Department, Wang Yingxiong, the secretary of the Cabinet University Scholars' Department, the Ministry of Works, and the ...... of the Criminal Department.

Looking at it all the way, Chongzhen became more and more disappointed, so many important ministers of the court, none of them could think of a way for him!

Looking at it, his eyes finally turned to the train of Zhan Shifu, when he saw Zhang Bin, his face couldn't help but become extremely complicated, Zhang Bin was also pretending to be a bodhisattva, but he didn't feel that Zhang Bin was evading, because he insisted on suppressing Zhang Bin and not letting Zhang Bin take power.

Perhaps, at this time, only Zhang Bin has the ability to turn the tide.

Just as he was looking at Zhang Bin in a daze, Wen Zhenmeng behind Zhang Bin reacted, it had been nearly two quarters of an hour, and none of the courtiers had spoken, Chongzhen didn't know, could he not know.

This is all a good thing done by Wen Tiren, he knows that he will eliminate dissidents, promote cronies, loyal ministers and good generals are about to be harmed by him, the court is full of corrupt officials and corpses, this traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people, let him continue to scourge, and the Ming Dynasty will be over!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and in the end, he finally couldn't help but walk out of the train, knelt on the royal road and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty, and he can't share his worries for the emperor, please punish the emperor." ”

Chongzhen still attaches great importance to this champion, because Wen Zhenmeng is indeed knowledgeable, and he can't help but shake his head and sigh: "Wen Qi, you are just a scholar, you can't be blamed for this, you get up." ”

Wen Zhenmeng not only did not get up according to his words, but stalked his neck and reprimanded: "Although Weichen is a scholar, he still feels deeply disappointed by the emperor's grace, Weichen is panicked, and some words are not spit out and unhappy. Most people only know how to form a party for personal gain, compete for power and profit, so that the country is in danger. In recent years, what measures have been taken to revitalize the Su Gang and discipline? How many people can be used in the selection of talents? What are the strategies for internal and external security? What are the ways to enrich the country and strengthen the army? ”

He obviously scolded Wen Tiren when he said this, but many courtiers lowered their heads in shame because they were all dependent on Wen Tiren and aided in abuse in order to get promoted and make a fortune!

When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help frowning, this is not the time to be held responsible, he has already been held accountable a few days ago, and this time he is discussing how to exterminate the thieves.

He couldn't help but shake his head and reminded: "Let's not talk about these for now, what we are discussing now is how to exterminate the anti-thieves, do you have any suggestions?" ”

What he meant was to ask Wen Zhenmeng not to make a big fuss, and to solve the current crisis first.

Wen Zhenmeng really thought of a way to come out, and he directly arched his hand and said: "Weichen thinks that the emperor should be angry, investigate the offenders and dereliction of duty, drive out all the officials who only know how to fight for power and profit, and then brainstorm and work together to stabilize the country's chaos." At the same time, we should adopt a practical policy of appeasement and appeasement, relax the levy on the common people, first win the hearts of the people to curb the rebellion, and then slowly plan ways to increase taxes. “

What he said was indeed the truth, but Chongzhen didn't like to listen to this, what Chongzhen wanted was a way to solve the anti-thief immediately, not to plan slowly, he shook his head, sighed, waved his hand to let Wen Zhenmeng retreat, and then shouted with disappointment: "Retreat!" ”

He was already disappointed, the Manchu Dynasty had no choice but to rely on himself.

At this point, he really came up with a solution.

Just as Zhang Bin was walking out with the flow of people, a little eunuch suddenly caught up and said, "Lord Zhang, the emperor is invited." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, he knew what Chongzhen was looking for him, but this was not the time, because Wen Tiren was in full swing at this time, and the entire court was almost under his control, and it was almost impossible to exterminate the thief in this situation.

Sure enough, he came to the imperial study, and after a salute, Chongzhen said kindly: "Shuangquan, why don't you speak in the court today, aren't you usually the most methodical?" ”

Zhang Bin secretly despised in his heart, I have a way, but you don't believe me, you insist on believing in Wen Tiren and squeezing me out of the core of power, what can I do!

He simply looked at him left and right and said: "Back to the emperor, the prince's studies are very good, hundreds of basic Chinese characters have been mastered almost, and the "Three Character Classic" can also be recited, Weichen is teaching His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to study the "Thousand Character Text", with the comprehension ability of His Royal Highness the Prince, he should be able to learn the "Thousand Character Text" this year, and next year, Wei Chen can teach His Royal Highness the Prince the Four Books and Five Classics. ”

What is this, what I want to tell you is to exterminate the thief!

Chongzhen couldn't help but be embarrassed and said: "Well, Shuangquan, you taught very well, Hong'er is indeed making rapid progress, and I am very relieved." However, now that the anti-thieves are raging in the Central Plains, the top priority is to exterminate the anti-thieves first. ”

Of course Zhang Bin knew what Chongzhen meant, he wanted to let himself volunteer to exterminate the anti-thief, but at this time, he really didn't have any certainty, nor was he interested, Wen Tiren couldn't do it, you let him go!

Zhang Bin simply shirked and said: "The anti-thieves are ravaging the Central Plains, and Wechen is really worried, but Wechen is just Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, and it is Wechen's duty to teach the prince!" ”

This guy insisted that I speak, Chongzhen could only say helplessly: "Shuangquan, if you don't do this, teach Hong'er about it, see if you can let it go first, or arrange for others to teach it, you can help me destroy the thief first, what do you think?" ”

It seems that he can't hide, Chongzhen is a donkey, and what he decides, even if it's wrong, will stick to it!

Zhang Bin could only hint: "Your Majesty, Weichen has no power or position, there is really nothing that can be done about this matter!" ”

This is to be power, this is easy to do, Chongzhen immediately clapped his hand and said: "In this way, you take the right capital of the Imperial Court and the secretary of the military department, the governor of the five provinces, and is responsible for the suppression of thieves, and you are also in charge of Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, what do you think?" ”

I want to have a military department book, this wave is not a loss, but it is not enough!

Zhang Bin pretended to be embarrassed again: "Your Majesty, the governors of the five provinces don't have the skill of doppelganger, there is no one below, who will help Weichen lead the troops to exterminate the thieves?" ”

Once Chongzhen decides to let people do things, he is still very generous, basically he will give you what you want, isn't it just asking for people, Chongzhen said without hesitation: "Which people do you want, you say, I will transfer it to you." ”

Zhang Bin replied "cautiously": "Your Majesty, promoting the right person to do things under your command is to form a party for personal gain, Weichen is afraid, Weichen does not dare to form a party for personal gain!" ”

Chongzhen pretended to be angry and said: "Who said this, there is no matter, whoever you want, just mention it." ”

That's what Wen Tiren said, you still approve of it, do you think I don't know!

Zhang Bin said this just to block Chongzhen's mouth, now that Chongzhen said so, then he was not welcome, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you also know that the war can't be pulled up by individuals, you need experienced people, Weichen is not familiar with other people, so he can only use his original subordinates, and please ask the emperor to know clearly, Weichen doesn't want to promote his cronies and form a party for personal gain!" ”

Chongzhen was scolded by him, and couldn't cry or laugh: "Okay, okay, I said that there is no such thing, you say, who do you need?" ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he said with a serious face: "If you want to exterminate the anti-thieves, 50,000 Qin troops are the key, Wu Zhenying, the governor of the three sides, Weichen doesn't look very reliable, how long has it been, I haven't seen him gather the Qin army and set off, I have to wait for him to bring the Qin army over, it is estimated that there is no hope for next year!" ”

Although this is a bit mean, but most of it is the truth, the trilateral governor Wu Zhenying is really a little unreliable, Chongzhen didn't take him off because of Wen Tiren's face, now, Chongzhen doesn't care about any face, Chongzhen nodded directly and said: "Well, I will give an order to investigate the dismissal of Wu Zhenying, the governor of the three sides, who do you want to be the governor of the three sides, Sun Chuanting?" ”

Zhang Bin hurriedly took advantage of the situation and said: "The emperor is wise, it is Sun Chuanting, the former governor of the three sides. ”

Chongzhen nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, no problem, who else." ”

Zhang Bin hurriedly arched his hand and said: "There is also Lu Xiangsheng, he is familiar with both Shanxi and Henan, and Weichen wants him to be the governor of Shanxi and Henan provinces." ”

Chongzhen nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, no problem, who else." ”

He's like a gambler who loses a red-eyed bet, he won't blink an eye no matter how much you let him press, but if you let him lose a little, it's a big deal.

Zhang Bin knew that he must not lose this time, at least he would be satisfied with the peasant army, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were far from enough, and he continued to give up: "There is also Qi Yuangong, Weichen hopes that he can go back to Fujian to reorganize the Qi family army and come to help; There is also Cao Wenzhao, Huguang, Henan, Sichuan and other provinces still have some scattered soldiers and horses, it is better to let him reorganize it, and he can also form a certain combat power. ”

Chongzhen still said without hesitation: "Okay, no problem, who else?" ”

It's almost enough to have these cronies to help, but he doesn't want to be slandered by Wen Tiren before he makes a move, and there is no place to cry when the time comes, so he can only declare in advance: "Your Majesty, you also know that the anti-thieves have been unattended for so long, and they may have been raging everywhere in the Central Plains, and Weichen hopes that the emperor can understand that what happened before Weichen took office is whether it can be relied on Weichen's head, and it also takes time for Weichen to gather troops, and if the anti-thieves capture some places during this time, Weichen can't be blamed." ”

Chongzhen nodded and said, "Well, you do things, I don't worry, you just have to let it go, I believe in you." ”

When it comes to this, Zhang Bin can't say anything anymore, he can only grit his teeth and take the errand of the governor of the five provinces, come back, and suppress the thief!
