When the news of Ning Yuan's mutiny reached Jingshi, even Zhu Youzhen, who had always been kind and pleasant, was furious, he slapped Bi Zisu's recital on the table, and said sharply: "Haven't all the food and salaries in Liaodong been allocated in the first half of the year?" What's going on with this household, and what's going on with Wang Zhichen? ”

Zhu Cijiong had already prepared in his heart, but he was not very angry, he asked curiously: "Oh, the minister of the King of Liaodong, wasn't this appointed by Wei Zhongxian during the period of the first emperor?" Isn't he a eunuch? How did you stay in office until now? ”

Sun Chengzong replied with a face full of shame: "Your Majesty, this is all the fault of Weichen, I don't know anyone, please punish the emperor." ”

He regretted this in his heart, in fact, he had long heard that Wang Zhichen was good at bribing important ministers of the court, so he was able to climb to the high position of Liaodong Jingluo during the reign of Wei Zhongxian. But as soon as he was blown by a few friends of the Donglin Party, he actually let him go and kept him in office, until now something finally happened.

He immediately realized a very serious problem, that is, most of his friends were bribed, or their relatives and friends were bought, otherwise they would not have come to him for no reason to say good things about the king's ministers!

Thinking that the Donglin Party, who prides itself on being honest and honest, will also be bought, Sun Chengzong can't help but feel a bitterness in his heart, the current Donglin Party is no longer the same as it was at the beginning, and it has been slowly corroded by time.

Sun Chengzong knew that it was Wang Zhichen's problem, but Zhu Cijiong didn't know, and he still suspected the household department.

He comforted: "The allocation of this salary has nothing to do with the Taifu, the Taifu does not have to blame himself, we will start to investigate from the household department, and check all the way down to see who embezzled this salary." ”

Sun Chengzong knew that the household department must be no problem, and he knew very well that the person who came to the Taoist sect was honest and self-disciplined, and he was well versed in the way of being an official, and it was absolutely impossible to make such a mistake.

Sure enough, when Lai Daozong was summoned to the imperial study of the Qianqing Palace, he directly brought a receipt document to prove his innocence, with the signature and seal of Wang Zhichen, and there was no problem at all.

The matter has come to this point, there is no doubt that it must be Wang Zhichen's problem, Sun Chengzong said bitterly: "This matter started because of Weichen, and Weichen is willing to go to Ningyuan in person to pacify the rebels and punish corruption." Weichen promised that he would definitely return the emperor to an impregnable Ningjin defense line. ”

Zhu Cijiong was still thinking hard about how to solve this matter, the most suitable candidate Yuan Chonghuan has been hanging by him for more than half a year, and now he dares to invite him out of the mountain, he must promise the position of superintendent, otherwise he will not obediently wipe his ass for himself. Once Yuan Chonghuan is reused, the old problem of arrogance will definitely flap in again, and in the end, it is inevitable that one of them will be executed, which is the last thing Zhu Cijiong wants to see.

Now that Sun Chengzong is willing to go out in person, it is naturally better.

Zhu Cijiong knew that Sun Chengzong was a more suitable candidate than Yuan Chonghuan, but all along, Sun Chengzong was assisting him as a prince, which made him forget that Sun Chengzong was originally a Liaodong economic strategy, and the Ningjin defense line was established by him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cijiong happily agreed: "Then it's troublesome Taifu, this Ningjin defense line is the foundation of the defense of Houjin, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes, Taifu can go in person, I can rest assured." ”

Sun Chengzong also suggested: "Weichen also has to assist the emperor in handling government affairs, and he must not stay in Liaodong for a long time. ”

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he chuckled in his heart, he wouldn't let Yuan Chonghuan go to be the Jiliao Governor! He asked cautiously, "Which two people are they, Taifu, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

Sun Chengzong replied: "Yuan Keli, the commander of the three military camps, is old and serious, and he has served as a governor in Liaodong with Weichen. Yuan Chonghuan, the left attendant of the military department, was originally the governor of Liaodong, and if he could go to his post again, this mutiny would be easily resolved. ”

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Yuan Chonghuan was not allowed to be the Jiliao Governor, he was really not a big man. However, isn't this product still farming in Guangdong, this far water can't solve the near fire, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Isn't this Yuan Chonghuan still in Guangdong?" Ning Yuan's situation is urgent, can he rush over? ”

Sun Chengzong replied embarrassedly: "Yuan Chonghuan has been in office for more than half a month in the Ministry of War, and he can set off for Ningyuan with Weichen at any time." ”

It turned out that this product couldn't be idle, and he came to work, but he saved the time on the road, since they were all in Beijing, then they were ready to go, Zhu Cijiong hurriedly said: "Everything but the Taifu is in charge, but I don't know how much money the Taifu will bring?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Cijiong only felt a pain in his flesh, if Ning Yuan's hundreds of thousands of taels alone were fine, if the entire Liaodong had not been paid for four months, it would be terrible, at least three or four million taels would be needed to plug this pit.

The three military camps now have 50,000 standing soldiers and horses, and the monthly food and salary add up to no less than 200,000 taels, and just after the New Year, another 5 million taels were allocated to the northwest, and another 1 million taels were allocated to the Ministry of Industry in March, and now there is a big hole in the northeast, if this continues, I don't know if the more than 40 million taels of silver can last for two years!

Fortunately, Sun Chengzong didn't open his mouth, he shook his head and said: "You don't have to bring the silver, Weichen will try to recover the silver they are greedy for, and if there is still a difference, the emperor will reissue it." ”

Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, fortunately, he didn't have to reissue it in full, otherwise he really couldn't stand it.

Since Sun Chengzong can go to Liaodong in person, there is no need to worry about the Ningyuan mutiny, he will definitely be able to handle it better than Yuan Chonghuan.

But as soon as Yuan Keli leaves, there is no commander in the three military camps, what should I do? Zhu Cijiong asked: "Taifu, Yuan Keli is the commander of the three military camps, he is gone, what should I do with the three military camps." ”

Sun Chengzong already had a draft, and he immediately replied: "The three battalions of the Praetorian Guard are collectively called the Beijing Battalion, which can be divided into three people to command alone, or there can be only one commander of the Beijing Battalion to command the three battalions. The emperor can enter the loyal Marquis Qin Liangyu as the commander of the Beijing camp and oversee the affairs of the three major battalions of the Praetorian Guard. ”

This proposal was in Zhu Cijiong's arms, the loyalty of the Qin family was beyond doubt, and it would be better if all the Praetorian Guards were handed over to Qin Liangyu's command, so he naturally readily agreed.

............

What is going on with the minister of the king of Liaodong, it stands to reason that such a big official can leave a strong mark in history, but this king of the minister only has a few words and fragments in the history books, which is completely inconsistent with his super identity!

His predecessors Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Yingtai, Wang Zaijin, and his successor Yuan Chonghuan, which is not a long story and extremely detailed records, how come he has only a few strokes here?

There is only one explanation for this: Qian Qianyi revised the record about him when he majored in "History of the Ming Dynasty"!

Why? You must know that Wang Zhichen, a person who is not a eunuch party or a Donglin party, can climb to the high position of Liaodong Economic Strategy, which is an unlikely thing. What's even more powerful is that he has gone through the two emperors of Tianqi and Chongzhen without falling, such a person can no longer be described as exquisite, he must be a person who is good at drilling camps, and to put it bluntly, he is a person who is good at bribing the court authorities.

He relied on bribing the eunuchs to rise to power, and it stands to reason that such a person will definitely be replaced immediately in Chongzhen's hands, but he was able to sit in Liaodong for more than a year, until he was dismissed from office until he was dismissed from office due to the Ningyuan Mutiny, which shows that he must have bribed important people in the ruling faction under Emperor Chongzhen.

The party in power during the Chongzhen period was the Donglin Party, that is to say, he bribed an important figure in the Donglin Party, and as a result, he had no life in the history books, no resume, and no record of how he became a Liaodong Economist, so who did he bribe?

An important figure in the Donglin Party, and he can delete all the life deeds of a super first-class official, there is only one such person, that is: Qian Qianyi!

I have to say that this Qian Qianyi is really a scumbag, in order to cover up the ugly things he and his political group did, he actually changed the history of the late Ming Dynasty beyond recognition!
