Volume 7 Chapter 4 Liaodong East Wind Changes

"→" is a great novel to read.

After nearly five months of fighting day and night, Yuan Chonghuan finally led the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army to build four new fortresses along the Liaohe River.

Coupled with the original Xining Fort, on the west bank of the Liao River in the Great Wall outside the Guanwai, there are five fortresses standing on the bank of the Kankan Baili River, which is less than 20 miles apart, and each fortress has at least ten artillery pieces, and it is difficult for Jiannu to break through the line of the Liao River.

Yuan Chonghuan's hanging heart finally let go, even if Huang Taiji poured into the nest, he was not afraid, five fortresses, one hundred artillery, five thousand new flintlock guns, plus grenades, throwing guns, arrows, as long as Huang Taiji dared to come, he was confident that he would achieve another victory in the Liaohe River!

Huang Taiji didn't dare to come, at least he didn't dare to take the initiative to attack in the past two years, but he didn't dare to come, but it didn't mean that Liaodong was safe.

A great victory is a catastrophe, the Apocalypse Dynasty and the Chongzhen Dynasty are so strange, almost none of the loyal ministers and good generals have a good end, it is like being cursed, it is difficult to fall into a whole corpse!

In fact, they are not cursed, but they are targeted by the eunuch party or the remnants of the eunuch party, because the Ming Dynasty is all civilian officials as commanders, if these civil officials who have won a great victory are not killed, it will threaten the eunuch party's control of the court, so after the great victory, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die!

On the side of the capital, the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Officials have all been laid out, and Wen Tiren can't wait to start the Beijing inspection in the year of Jiaxu.

Anyway, it's not the New Year yet, why did Jingcha start in the year of Jiaxu?

It's not that Wen Tiren is messing around, because the Jingcha every six years happens to collide with the triennial plan and the imperial examination, and if the Jingcha plan and the imperial examination are held at the same time, there will definitely be problems.

For example, everyone is waiting for the results of the Beijing inspection with fear, or they are preparing to defend themselves, who will be in charge of the big plan, and who will be in charge of the imperial examination?

For another example, the chief examiner and the examiners of each room have been decided, and they have also begun to organize the imperial examination, but what should I do if the chief examiner or the examiner of each room has a problem in the Beijing Inspection?

Therefore, in order not to conflict with the general plan and the imperial examination, it is generally necessary to start the Jingcha before the year, and then carry out the grand plan after the year, and at the same time carry out the imperial examination, so that after the imperial examination is over, most of the high school jinshi candidates can be arranged to become officials.

Chongzhen naturally knew this rule, Wen Tiren, Tang Shiji and Wang Yingxiong told him about the matter of Jingcha, not only did he not object, but also specially told him that he must be good and bad, and he should investigate hard.

He always felt that many officials had problems, otherwise Daming would not have weakened to this point, but as everyone knows, the problem is Wen Tiren, Tang Shiji and Wang Yingxiong, whom he pinned his hopes on, and asked the traitorous ministers to take their henchmen to take charge of the Jingcha plan.

Wen Tiren got the holy decree, and sure enough, he investigated very hard, and the first thing he checked was Bi Zisu, the governor of Liaodong, and he quickly came to a conclusion, Shouping, political short, talented, old, poor, etc., proposed, dismissed from the investigation!

Chongzhen was instantly stunned when he got the results of this Jingcha.

Bi Zisu is the younger brother of Bi Ziyan, the head of the Crown Prince's Taibao Household Department, and he naturally knows that with this alone, he can't easily remove people from their posts and investigate them.

He also knew that Ning Yuan's mutiny was caused by arrears of food and wages, and Bi Zisu even went to nine ways to urge food and wages, but the court had no money, and it seemed that Bi Zisu could not be blamed for this.

However, this Jingcha result is followed by a bunch of explanations.

What Bi Zisu has a violent personality and has a very poor relationship with the Liaodong soldiers.

What Bi Zisu has limited ability and cannot assist Yuan Chonghuan in recovering Liaodong.

What Bi Zisu's political performance is bad, Ning Yuan's mutiny is inseparable from him.

What is Bi Zisu's old age and frailty, he is not suitable to be a governor in an important town in Liaodong and so on.

It seems that such an official will not be removed from his post and investigated, it is simply unreasonable!

Chongzhen really felt a little embarrassed, he just asked someone to check it well, and he tried to check it, but the first person gave it to him, how can people check hard?

Wen Tiren felt his mind very thoroughly, and his reaction was even in Wen Tiren's calculations.

Chongzhen really fell into Wen Tiren's trap, and the first thing that came to mind when he hesitated was persuasion, not to persuade Bi Ziyan, but to persuade Tang Shiji and Wang Yingxiong, who were in charge of Jingcha.

He summoned the two of them to the imperial study, and after the monarch and the ministers greeted him, he said helplessly: "Two Aiqing, is Bi Zisu, the governor of Liaodong, really so unbearable?" ”

Tang Shiji and Wang Yingxiong glanced at each other, and finally Tang Shiji arched his hand and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, we all came according to the rules of Jingcha, first check the Metropolitan Procuratorate, then check the Ministry of Officials, and then check other yamen, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been checking since the right capital imperial history, to the left and right deputy capital imperial history, there is no problem, and there is a problem when the right imperial history is found to be Bi Zisu, and we are all assessed according to the rules, the truth is like this, and we can't help it." ”

Chongzhen was a little speechless when he was said, are people wrong to follow the rules, it must be right, if they let them come not according to the rules, it will not be a big mess in the world!

He thought for a while, and said helplessly: "Bi Zisu's situation is quite special, I know this, and I believe you also know." ”

Tang Shiji pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and said righteously: "Your Majesty, Weichen has heard that the prince has committed the same crime as the common people, not to mention that Bi Zisu is not a prince at all, in the eyes of Weichen, he has nothing special!" ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but look at Tang Shiji with admiration, this Tang Aiqing is just right, and it seems to be a "wise" decision to let him control the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

However, this Bi Zisu is really special, although Bi Zisu is not the prince, but his brother Bi Ziyan is his right-hand man, so he removed Bi Zisu from his post and investigated, and Bi Ziyan's face was put there!

Although he is suspicious by nature, he is still quite serious about such an official who is dedicated to Bi Ziyan and is dedicated to the country, he pondered for a while, and finally tried to say: "Bi Zisu is not a big mistake, can you just forget it?" ”

Tang Shiji pretended to look at life and death, and said resolutely: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for his courage, otherwise, you can remove Weichen from his post and investigate, these officials under the procuratorate can't be investigated, what kind of face does Weichen have to investigate other officials of the yamen!" ”

This army is about to come down, Chongzhen has no choice, he can only shake his head and sigh: "Okay, after passing the word to Zisu and entering Beijing to defend himself, you can handle it impartially." ”

Actually, Tang Shiji is furious in his heart at this time, he is just according to Wen Tiren's teachings, biting that he is doing things according to the rules, he is really afraid that Chongzhen will suddenly go crazy, withdraw him, and even drag him out and cut it, I didn't expect that this emperor is really the same as Lord Wen said, it is easy to deceive, as long as he puts on a righteous appearance, the emperor really thinks that he is upright!

Bi Zisu was recruited back to the capital like this, in front of the remnants of the eunuch party who took shamelessness as the way of officials, he naturally couldn't say anything clearly, even if he said it clearly, the remnants of the eunuch party would be regarded as inaudible, so a meritorious man who had done his best in Liaodong for more than ten years, and had done his duty and made a lot of contributions in the great victory of Ningyuan, Ningjin and Liaohe, was removed from his post and investigated.

The prince Taibao household department Shangshu Bi Ziyan learned the news, and wrote three times in a row to defend it, indicating that he had no merit in Liaodong, and Chongzhen did not give any response, this time, Chongzhen really wanted to rectify the rule of officials, and remove all the corrupt officials and corpses of the Ming Dynasty from their posts and investigate them, completely changing the status quo of the Ming officialdom.

It's a pity that he saw the wrong person and used the wrong person, Wen Tiren, a treacherous villain, where would he find out what corrupt officials and corpses are vegetarians, he just wants to exclude dissidents, he just wants to cultivate all his henchmen, his purpose is to monopolize the government, cover the sky with one hand, and do whatever he wants!

As for what kind of rectification of the rule of officials, Zhongxing Daming, forget it, he knows what kind of virtue he has, if he really rectifies the rule of officials, he will bear the brunt, and drag him out and cut him down.

The reason why they removed Bi Zisu from his post and investigated it was not to exclude dissidents, although Bi Ziyan and Bi Zisu brothers were both in high positions, they never fought for power and profit, and there was basically no conflict with them, but who called Bi Zisu the governor of Liaodong, if he was the governor of other places, Wen Tiren would not bother to provoke him, just because he was the governor of Liaodong, so he must be removed from his post and investigated!

Yuan Chonghuan This hidden danger will be removed sooner or later, and when the time comes, whoever is the governor of Liaodong will be the first candidate for the Jiliao Governor, since he has made up his mind to get rid of Yuan Chonghuan, the successor will naturally prepare for him in advance.

There is another advantage to letting someone else serve as the governor of Liaodong, if there is really no way to get Yuan Chonghuan down at that time, and Yuan Chonghuan has a tendency to annihilate Jiannu and recover Liaodong, then let the governor of Liaodong do it, find a way to cause him to be defeated, so as to pull him off the horse, just like Cai Fuyi, the governor of the five provinces who quelled the rebellion of peace and luxury, pull back and kill him!

As for the candidates, there is a ready-made one, that is, Hong Chengchou, the former governor of Yansui.

Zhang Bin is trying to find a way to get Hong Chengchou back to the capital, but Hong Chengchou left the capital before he was convicted, so Hong Chengchou escaped by luck, the former trilateral governor Yang He deserved to be sentenced to death a long time ago and went to prison, but Hong Chengchou has been removed from his post and investigated, and he is still investigating and handling it for more than a year, in fact, Wen Tiren is deliberately dragging it out and waiting for the opportunity.

Now, the time has finally come, since it is a dismissal investigation, then even the Jingcha will investigate together, as a result, Hong Chengchou's Jingcha result is that the chief Zhengping is only old, and he is rated as excellent, and he is going to be promoted.

That is to say, the result of the review of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials is that Hong Chengchou is the most suitable person to take over as the governor of Liaodong except for being implicated by Yang He and his political performance is mediocre, he is a buried talent, and he is the most suitable person to take over as the governor of Liaodong!

When Chongzhen saw the results of this Jingcha, he was stunned again, wasn't this Hong Chengchou removed from his post and investigated, why did Jingcha still come to an excellent class, and he became the most suitable person to be the governor of Liaodong?

He began to think about it again, but he still didn't understand it after thinking about it for a long time, so he recruited Tang Shiji and Wang Yingxiong to the imperial study, and after the monarch and ministers greeted him, he asked curiously: "Two Aiqing, isn't this Hong Chengchou removed from his post and investigated, how can he return to Jingcha and be promoted?" ”

Tang Shiji and Wang Yingxiong glanced at each other, and this time it was Wang Yingxiong's turn to arch his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, Hong Chengchou was indeed removed from his post and investigated, but we have investigated for a long time, and we have not found any illegal acts. Hong Chengchou did not disobey Yang He's orders, but many times Yang He didn't give him any orders, he saw that the anti-thieves were rampant, and he had to send troops to requisition, and as a result, he would naturally kill many anti-thieves. ”

Yang He is so mediocre and incompetent, no wonder the northwest anti-thieves will be more and more suppressed, it seems that this Hong Chengchou is really wronged, he has killed many anti-thieves, how can he become guilty!

Thinking of this, Chongzhen nodded and said, "Well, since this Hong Chengchou didn't do anything illegal, forget it, but how did he become the best candidate for the governor of Liaodong again?" He even failed to assist Yang He in suppressing the rebels, can he still assist Yuan Chonghuan to defeat Jiannu? ”

Wang Yingxiong also pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and said righteously: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for his courage, this Hong Chengchou is indeed not suitable to assist Yang He to suppress the anti-thief, because Yang He's woman is benevolent, and she can't bear to kill the anti-thief, and this anti-thief cannot be exterminated after all." And Hong Chengchou can still kill tens of thousands of thieves under such a mediocre and incompetent commander, and he has repeatedly made war exploits, proving that he can fight well, and he is also a civil and military all-rounder who is proficient in the art of war, otherwise it is impossible to win many battles. Such a person, if he can go to Liaodong to assist Yuan Chonghuan Yuan, wouldn't Lord Yuan be like a tiger. ”

Chongzhen thought about it for a while, and sure enough, this is the reason, Hong Chengchou can kill tens of thousands of enemies under a mediocre and incompetent coach like Yang He, and he has repeatedly made military exploits, and when he comes to Yuan Chonghuan, it is not like a fish in water.

The anti-thieves in the northwest are indeed not suitable to be killed, because most of the anti-thieves are ordinary people, they are just coerced by the thief chieftain, and they don't really want to rebel, if they see one and kill the other, then wouldn't they force all the anti-thieves to see the court army and fight hard, anyway, they can't survive, who will surrender, if it becomes like that, how many casualties the court army will suffer for the time being, let's just say that those ordinary people, if they are all killed, who will farm the land, who will pay for the grain.

Jiannu is different, they are the capital of the country, it is clear that they want to fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty, and if they can kill them all, they will naturally have to kill them all, anyway, if you let them go, they will not remember your good, and they will still come to fight with you when the time comes!

Thinking of this, Chongzhen nodded and said: "What Wang Aiqing said makes sense, this Hong Chengchou is really the best candidate to serve as the governor of Liaodong, so be it, promote Hong Chengchou to be the right governor of the Imperial Court and the governor of Liaodong, let him go to the post as soon as possible." ”

Wang Yingxiong smiled secretly in his heart, this emperor is really so foolish, as long as you can follow his meaning and say a reason, he will believe everything!

Of course, he only dared to laugh in his heart, and on the surface, he still respectfully bowed his hand and said: "The emperor is wise." ”

In this way, Liaodong Dongyun suddenly changed, and the meritorious minister Bi Zisu was removed from his post and investigated, but Hong Chengchou, who had already been removed from his post and investigated, became the governor of Liaodong in a grand manner!
