In the face of the turbulent situation, Zhou Yanru knew that the big thing was not good, and in the name of his birthday, he convened his confidants to discuss what to do, but the ministers who had been close to him in the past refused to come under the pretext of letting Zhou Yanru know that the general trend had gone, and I was afraid that the day of the fall was imminent.

"Yuanfu, you don't have to worry too much, what can Chen Yue do even if he makes a great contribution? can't escape the charge of not obeying the command and marching without permission, as long as we bite this point, the emperor will be helpless to take you, if everyone is like Chen Yue who does not obey the command and acts without authorization, isn't this military law and military discipline chaotic? "The military department said to Guang Shiheng in the matter, because he jumped too hard, he couldn't get off the boat, so he could only follow Zhou Yanru to the dark.

Looking at the few officials gathered in the mansion, Zhou Yanru sighed, and said that it was the only way.

At the end of the banquet, the officials dispersed, and Zhou Yanru and his confidant Wang Yin sat opposite each other and discussed countermeasures again.

"Hengshan Gong, I'm afraid that the old man will be in trouble this time, I was going to arrange a way out for you, with your fame and talent, you are enough to be the honor of a mansion, but now I am afraid I can't do it." Zhou Yanru said apologetically to Wang Yin.

Wang Yin looked at the depressed Zhou Yanru and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Wang Yinzi Hengshan, a person from Gyeonggi, was a person in the second year of the Apocalypse, and then failed to pass the imperial examination three times in a row, so he extinguished the heart of fame, and turned to study the art of astronomy and geography in the book of war.

However, at this time, Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, and Yang Sichang were dead, Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Sun Chuanting was far away from the mountains and rivers in Shaanxi, and most of the famous marshals of the Ming Dynasty withered, and were later recruited by Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, to serve in his scene.

Zhou Yanru went out of the town of Tongzhou and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in Gyeonggi, and Wang Yin was also full of ambition, wanting to show his ambition with what he had learned in his chest, and assist Zhou Yanru to defeat the Manchu Tartars and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty. Who knew that what Zhou Yanru said was good, but after arriving in Tongzhou, he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and he didn't dare to fight with the Manchu Tartars at all.

At first, Wang Yin thought that Zhou Yanru was trying to control the army and better fight against the Manchu Tartars, but who knew that Wang Yin had no intention of going to war at all. For more than a month, Wang Yin put forward countless suggestions for Zhou Yanru, asking him to send troops to defend the line of the Lugou River, build fortifications on the north bank to strictly defend them, and be sure to leave the Manchu Tartars in the Central Plains, waiting for the troops of the Qin Kings from all over the country to gather, so as to annihilate the Manchu Tartars in one fell swoop. In Wang Yin's view, there were as many as 200,000 Ming troops in Gyeonggi, 670,000 troops including Wu Sangui in Shanhaiguan, more than 100,000 troops in Xuanfu Datong, and 230,000 troops such as Huang Degong and Gaojie in Xuzhou Jianghuai. The loss of these 100,000 people will be devastated, and it will no longer be a threat to the Ming Dynasty, so that they can free up their hands to deal with the thieves and thieves in the Central Plains, and the Ming Dynasty can be waiting!

However, Zhou Yanru's series of actions made Wang Yin extremely disappointed in his heart, there was such a fearful of the enemy like a tiger and a helpless first and auxiliary superintendent, and there were many bright spirits!

"Wang Yin is idle Yunye Crane, his ambition is not in the court, he planned to follow Dong Weng to achieve a career, but he doesn't care if he is an official or not." Wang Yin lowered his brows and said indifferently, "But Dong Weng doesn't need to be too anxious, the situation has not deteriorated to the point of irretrievability." ”

"Oh? Is there still a turnaround? Zhou Yanru stood up and asked eagerly.

"What Guang Shiheng said just now is very right, then Chen Yue has made great contributions, but he can't get rid of the charge of not obeying the command and engaging in it without authorization, if you bite this to death, the emperor will not be able to cure the crime." Wang Yin said: "But in this way, your prestige will be lost, and the position of the first assistant may not be guaranteed, so as long as Chen Yue is an official for one day, you will be the laughing stock of the court." Therefore, if you want to continue to serve as the first assistant, you must get Chen Yue down. ”

"But Chen Yue should have really made a great contribution, how could he get rid of him?" Zhou Yanru sighed.

"Others can't do it, you can, Dong Weng, you have served for many years, and your protégés and former officials are all over the government and the opposition, which one won't give you a little thin noodles." Wang Yin said.

"If they are willing to give the old man face, today's banquet will not be crowded." Zhou Yanru shook his head and said discouragedly.

"These people are just looking at Dong Weng and you are at a disadvantage, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, but if Chen Yue falls into a certain death, they will soon turn around and throw themselves back into your arms. What's more, Dong Weng also has a natural ally, he has the handle of these people in his hands, as long as this big killing weapon comes out, these people can't be disobedient! Wang Yin said compassionately.

"You, you mean, Tong Yangxing?" Zhou Yanru asked in surprise.

"Well, it's him, the last time Chen Yue was appointed as the Xishan soldier, it was he who instructed Guang Shiheng and others to desperately obstruct it, and I heard that it was because his nephew Luo Jiayu asked Chen Yue for his military success, and he was angry and resentful. When you went back to Tongzhou, didn't you cooperate with him very happily? Wang Yin said.

"However, Luo Yangxing has already gone to Panshan."

"Luo Yangxing is not there, isn't there still Luo Jiayu? He hates Chen Yue even more, as long as we bewitch him, are you afraid that he will not be used by us? Chen Yue from making honeycomb coal in Beijing, to Fangshan, and then to Xishan Coal Mine, there are countless people who have offended, as long as we send people to contact these people, everyone will rise up and attack Chen Yue, forming a siege of the Manchu Dynasty. ”

Zhou Yanru thought about it for a long time and knew that there was no other way, as long as Chen Yue was there, he would not be able to be the first assistant! After studying hard for more than ten years, and the ups and downs of the sea for decades, it was not easy to have today's status, how could he be willing to lose it like this?

"It's done, the old man and that Chen Yue child will never give up!" Zhou Yanru clenched his fists and said viciously.

Walking out of the room, looking back, looking at the window paper Zhou Yanru's rickety figure, Wang Yin sighed, shook his head and turned away.

"Okay, you Wang Hengshan, it's clear that you're making suggestions for the sake of Lord Shoufu, I'm afraid it's you who are most looking forward to the fall of Shousuke!" As soon as he turned a corner, suddenly a low voice sounded in his ears, Wang Yin's face couldn't help but change greatly, and when he turned around, he saw a black shadow standing in the shadow of the corner.

"Originally, as long as Lord Shoufu insisted on impeaching Chen Yue and sending troops without listening to the dispatch, although he would not take down Chen Yue who had made great contributions, Lord Shoufu did not have much fault, as long as he was thick-skinned, he could still get a little bit of overall work, after all, Chen Yue and even Tang Tong and Bai Guangen were all subordinates of Shoufu, so as long as the emperor was not annoyed, there was no problem in continuing to be the first assistant. But you just tricked Lord Shoufu into continuing to attack Chen Yue, and you had to form a siege of the Manchu Dynasty, you must know that the emperor was most disgusted by the courtiers forming a party, whether it was Wei Zhongxian, a eunuch, or Qian Qianyi of the Donglin Party, all because of the formation of a party or was arrested and investigated, or driven out of the court. Let the emperor suspect that Lord Shoufu has formed a party, and then dismiss the official and remove him from office, this is your Wang Hengshan's conspiracy! ”
