The impeachment of Chen Yue has been going on for half a month, and there are dozens of books in total, but Chen Yue does not have a single self-defense note, is it true that he robbed the caravan? This shaft is so heartbroken!

"Your Majesty, Chen Yue has taken a recital, and he was only transferred from the General Administration Department today." Wang Chengen thought for a moment and pulled out a copy from the bottom of a large pile of movements. Approaching New Year's Day, the civil and military officials all went to the congratulatory table to congratulate the New Year, Wang Chengen knew that Chongzhen was not in the mood to see these at all, so he put them aside, and Chen Yue's recital was sandwiched between these greeting tables and was sent over.

Chongzhen took Chen Yue's recital, flipped through it carefully, Wang Chengen was waiting on the side, and saw Chongzhen's face change, from anger to relief, and then sighed.

"Here, you can take a look too!" Chongzhen threw the fold to Wang Chengen, and paced slowly in the hall by himself, and whenever there was something hesitating, he would pace back and forth like this.

At this moment, Chongzhen regretted it very much, regretting his rash handling of Chen Yue at the beginning, but because he was afraid of rumors, he was sent to a place where birds don't. If Chen Yue was entrusted with an important task and sent to Shaanxi with Bai Guangen to cooperate with Sun Chuanting to encircle and suppress the thieves, there would not be such a big defeat! This thought lingered in Chongzhen's heart, devouring his heart like a poisonous snake.

"It turns out that Chen Yue is to attack the Mongol tribes that belong to the Manchurian Tartars, so he took advantage of the cover of the caravan, I just said, I don't look like a reckless person, how could he do such a thing." Wang Chengen knew that Chongzhen was angry and loving to Chen Yue, and Chen Yue was a rare general in the Ming Dynasty, so he carefully beat the drum on the side, he really hoped that Chongzhen could reuse Chen Yue.

"Hmph, it's true to attack the Mongol tribes, and it's also true to loot the caravan, this shaft is just afraid of people's counterattacks, so it is said that the Fan family is cooperating with him!" Chongzhen snorted coldly.

"And what should we do about it?" Wang Chengen asked cautiously.

"Copy this piece and send it to the six cabinet departments, let them all take a look, and see if some people still have the face to impeach Chen Yue again!" Chongzhen said angrily. He was tired of these courtiers who flocked to the city at the slightest thing, and had no way to deal with the thieves destroying the city.

The next day, the morning dynasty.

This is the first day of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, according to the usual civil officials above the fourth grade in the capital, the lords and nobles at all levels, and the captains of the horses, all of whom have to go to the court to congratulate the New Year.

Chongzhen sat on the throne and accepted the congratulations of the civil and military officials. According to the custom, as the emperor, he had to make a speech, lamenting the past achievements and the prospect of the future, and then reward the officials with some money, and this early dynasty would be over.

And today, Chongzhen did not act according to the usual practice at all, but his face was gloomy, and he said something that made the ministers sweat.

“…… I have been guarding the Hongxu for seven years for ten years, deeply thinking of the power of God's surrender and the weight entrusted by my ancestors...... I am the parents of the people, I can't be the wings, the people are my children, I can't be swaddled, I sit on the Qinyu hills, the rivers and Chu are filthy, the shame of the sect, the guilt of Qianli, the crime is not bowed, who is responsible?

Therefore, the people are in trouble with the edges, the water and fire, the violets are measured into gullies, and the remains are piled up into mounds, all of which are the faults of me. So that the people lose and save the chest, live and send off, add more unrighteous levies, pre-levy has the pain of loans, and I am also wrong.

So that the people's room is like a hanging rock, the field is polluted, looking at the fireworks but there is no door, crying and dying in the wind, and I am also wrong.

The sun and the moon of the people are fierce, the drought is surviving, the division and brigade are located, the epidemic is in trouble, the sum of heaven and earth is dry, and the grievances of the family in the lower cong room are also wrong.

As for being a minister and being lawless, using a minister but not being honest, speaking in front of an official and not being able to discuss clearly, and a military general being arrogant and cowardly but not doing anything, all of them are inappropriate to be controlled...... Loyal and patriotic, people have one heart, shame and evil, who has no public indignation! ……”。

Where is this to congratulate the New Year, it is clearly an edict of sin, to repent to the world for his mistakes as an emperor! While regretting that he didn't know anyone, he fiercely criticized the ministers and generals of the Manchu Dynasty!

Serving as a minister is lawless, using a minister is not honest, speaking in front of the official and not being able to discuss clearly, and the military general is arrogant and cowardly and does not make a contribution, that is, pointing at the nose of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and scolding, one by one, the corpses do not do their business! The country is in such a situation, I am responsible, and you can't get out of it!

"The minister is guilty!" Under the leadership of Shoufu Chen Yan, all the civil and military knelt down at the foot of the steps, removed their official hats, and confessed their guilt.

"I am guilty, and each of you is also deeply guilty, so in the future, you should work together, serve the country, and share my worries." Chongzhen leaned back on the dragon chair tiredly, looking at the ministers in this full hall, if possible, he really wanted to drive most of the people here out of the court! But if you don't use these people, who can govern the country for you?

The civil and military officials got up from the ground one after another, and each returned to his shift to stand, and they were used to this moody emperor.

"Your Majesty, the people's livelihood is withering, the thieves are everywhere, the mountains and rivers are turbulent, and all the ministers are responsible, I implore Your Majesty to allow the old minister to resign from the post of first assistant and punish the crime!" Shoufu Chen Yan knelt down at the foot of the stairs and put his official hat on the ground in front of him. The emperor has issued an edict for his own crimes, and someone must take responsibility for this turbulent situation, and who can bear it except him, the first assistant?

Chongzhen glanced at Chen Yan deeply, and said lightly, "Accurate!" ”

Looking at Chen Yan's staggering figure, many ministers in the palace had the sad thoughts of the rabbit and the fox, and once the first assistant was dismissed like this, he didn't even say a word to keep it, and the ruthlessness of the king can be seen!

Chen Yan dismissed the prime minister, and the second assistant Wei Zaode was promoted to the first assistant and stood in the first place on the left hand. University scholars Fan Jingwen and Li Jiantai were promoted to second assistant and third assistant.

"Zhong Aiqing, now that Li Chuang's thieves have broken Chang'an and occupied Guanzhong, how should the imperial court respond?" Chongzhen asked impatiently. The situation is already so crisis, he doesn't care if it's New Year's Day.

However, to his disappointment, most of the officials stood there silent. The new first assistant Wei Zaode also did not say a word, and he couldn't come up with any way.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thought that he should order the defenders of Shanxi, all prefectures and counties, to rectify the soldiers and soldiers, and strictly prevent thieves from crossing the river." Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the military department, stood up and said reluctantly. Others can not speak, but he, the secretary of the military department, cannot not speak.

"Hmm." Chongzhen nodded, after the thieves captured Shaanxi, the next step would definitely be to cross the river to attack Shanxi, and then attack Jingshi. It is the right thing to order the defenders of Shanxi to be on strict guard, "And then?" ”

"Then, you can order Zuo Liangyu, the general of the Ping Thief, to order him to lead the army to attack the four mansions of Jingxiang to attack the back road of the thieves, and at the same time, he can send envoys to all parts of the Central Plains to contact the gentry who are interested in the imperial court in various places, and order them to rise up and overthrow the rule of the thieves in various places, so that they have no energy to covet the Beijing Division."

I have to say that Zhang Jinyan, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, put forward a very well-adjusted countermeasure. But Chongzhen knew that he couldn't solve the fundamental problem by relying on these alone.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggested moving the capital to Nanjing to relieve the danger of the imperial court!" Someone suddenly stood up and said something that made Chongzhen's heart skip a beat.
