Jingshi, recently suddenly spread the news of Xuanfu's private funds, although Zhou Yanru categorically denied this as the first assistant of the cabinet, but the news spread more and more widely, and the whole dynasty was discussing this matter. The second assistant Wen Tiren reacted first, and went to the General Administration Department to check the recent Datong recitals, and after a toss, he finally cleared out the recitals of Datong Tuntian Road from a pile of official documents in the corner. Wen Tiren first gave the governor in charge of the documents a big mouth, and then roared to find Zhou Yanru to settle accounts.

"Zhou Xiang, how should this be explained?" Wen Tiren rushed into the cabinet deacon's room and threw the piece on Zhou Yanru's desk.

Zhou Yanru was also taken aback, picked up the chapter and read it carefully, he couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart, it didn't matter what Jin Sheng defended for the general soldiers of Tuntian, but the general soldiers of Xuanfu Fuyi would be in trouble if they fell into their hands, this damn Shen Di, why didn't he say such a big thing? Zhou Yanru secretly scolded Shen Di for making a mistake, but pretended to be calm and said: "The governor of Xuanfu has been in Liaodong for a long time, how can he do things casually, the general army of Xuanfu Fuyi is a Yiren, and the two towns of Datong and Xuanfu Fuyi Yamen are newly withdrawn, and it is not known that he has lost his official position and is talking nonsense, **** must not be suspicious." ”

Wen Tiren suppressed his anger and replied with a sneer: "The matter of Xuanfu's money has long been boiling, and now there is a Datong Tuntian Road report, and its authenticity will be clear as soon as it is checked, Zhou Xiang did not check it, but he was eager to deny it, could it be that he wanted to protect his private people?" ”

"Wen Changqing, you are so rude, this pavilion has always been above board, how can there be any private person? It is not easy for border ministers to defend the land, and it is as suspicious and difficult as you, who is willing to serve the imperial court? Zhou Yanru was angry, this ungrateful man, since he entered the cabinet, he has been against him everywhere, and now he has jumped out again, and the anger that has been suppressed for a long time finally broke out, pointing at Wen Tiren and shouting angrily, "You have coveted the position of the first assistant for a long time, and the slightest disturbance will make trouble, this pavilion tells you today that as long as this pavilion is still above the court, you will not be allowed to be rampant." ”

"If I am a villain, you Zhou Yusheng is a brazen hypocrite, you wait and see!" Wen Tiren jumped up and picked up the piece and left, Wu Zongda immediately followed him, Xu Guangqi, Zheng Yiwei and other ministers also found excuses to dodge, leaving Zhou Yanru alone to jump like thunder.

Wen Tiren officially declared war, Zhou Yanru's trouble came, Jin Sheng's recital was then copied in the Tang newspaper, the Manchu Dynasty public opinion was in an uproar, and the accusations against Shen Di were endless, and then the news of Datong's change came, and Zhang Tinggong also hit the limelight - Zhang Tinggong was quite smart, only reported that the officials and soldiers were in arrears of wages and mutiny, and asked for more food and wages, and the matter of the loyal and righteous national salvation army was said to be a profiteer and a traitor to the people, and it was even more difficult to explain if he lost the victory fort and killed the tiger's mouth fort. The imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate were excited, this time it can be regarded as catching a big fish, the imperial history Sun Sanjie, Lu Zhenfei, and Yu Yinggui wrote to impeach Zhou Yanru, saying that Sun Yuanhua, Shen Di, and Zhang Tinggong were all their private individuals, and the three of them either appeased the rebellion, or captured and could, or caused chaos in the border towns, and the first assistant formed a party for personal gain, sheltered the traitor and misled the country, and teased the enemy. When Liu Zhilun, the Shaozhan Shi, was talking about "Zhou Li" at the banquet, he suddenly changed the topic and told the story of Jingkang's shame and Zhang Bangchang in the former Song Dynasty, and the emperor not only did not stop it, but listened to it with relish.

Zhou Wen and the two fought viciously, Shoufu was caught with pigtails, and the inner court also took the opportunity to fall into the ground, and the eunuchs did not dare to interfere in national affairs, but it was still easy to say bad things about Zhou Yanru in three days.

The contradiction between the inner and outer dynasties has existed for a long time, the emperor has monitored the border towns and the household department, and the Ministry of Industry has spent money on grain and money with internal officials, and the officials of the outer court feel insulted and have done everything possible to resist it, and the internal officials of course have to keep the fat shortage in hand, and the two sides are fighting openly and secretly, especially the dispute between the household department and the Ministry of Industry is the most fierce - both are big fat shortages, and there have always been rules for giving money to do things, Zhang Yixian was ordered to monitor the household department and the Ministry of Industry, and he thought that he could make money if he went, but the foreign court officials looked down on this eunuch, and no one gave him a big son. Zhang Yixian's self-esteem was hurt, Wenchen could eat black money casually, he discounted and no one gave face, should a hard-working person work in vain? He simply sat in the lobby every day and waited, and he didn't want to do anything without giving money. Zhang Yixian did it too explicitly, the imperial history took him as a typical reference book, and asked the emperor to remove the internal supervision, the relationship between the internal and external dynasties was once very tense, fortunately, the emperor also knew the internal situation, and resolutely rejected the performance, and the internal supervisors passed this level, but they hated the people in the outer court, Zhou Yanru, as a famous man, and the leader of the Qingliu in the court, was naturally among them.

There is another thing that also makes the inner court extremely resentful, Liu Wenzhong got a lot of heads from the Kuku and Tun wars, and paid filial piety to the eunuchs in the palace as a local specialty. Li Yu's military exploits can't be determined, and they are also anxious, while saying bad things about the foreign court, they also talk about Li Yu's good things - Li Yu himself can't imagine that he has the good impression of the old eunuch Li Fengxiang, and Liu Wenzhong often sends local products, in the eyes of the internal officials, Li Yu, who was born poor and hostile to the foreign courts, is more pleasing to the eye than Wenchen, and has unconsciously regarded him as a natural ally. In fact, the emperor also has this feeling, compared to the Wenchen who can't do anything and steals his money, the general soldiers of Datong Tuntian are much cuter! After Wang Dehua, the eunuch of Dongchang, and the commander of Jinyiwei made Luo Yangxing secret, the emperor decided to come forward to end the chaos.

The emperor wanted to convene a pre-imperial meeting, the ministers and ministers of various ministries were summoned to the Wenhua Palace, the courtiers were still glaring at each other, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren also turned half of their bodies, and neither of them paid attention to each other - they have also had a hard time these days, Zhou Yanru arranged for the henchmen to rack their brains to collect Wen Tiren's illegal acts, but this guy slipped like a loach, except for the official addiction, there was no other way to be greedy for ink and form a party, and Wen Tiren also stayed in the General Administration Department every day, personally checking the correspondence and official documents, for fear that Zhou Yanru would do it again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there have been rumors accusing the Xuanfu of money recently, and it involves the first assistant, what is the cabinet's decision on this?" The Emperor spoke slowly.

"The governor of Xuanfu sued the general army of Datong Tuntian, and Datong Tuntian Dao also sued the governor of Xuanfu, the two accused each other, and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the false for a while. Zhou Yanru hurriedly replied.

"I don't need to check anymore, the Xuanfu surveillance eunuch Wang Kun has written to the inner court to ask for guilt, the governor of Xuanfu and the Xuanfu general army are indeed in the city, Wang Kun, a minion, is not able to stop it, and only now can I tell the truth, I naturally have to strictly control it," the emperor waved his hand and asked the eunuch to hand him Wang Kun's recital, and then said coldly, "Wang Kun said in the recital that the governor of Xuanfu personally told him that he had the chief planner of the cabinet of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and I thought that if no one supported him, the governor of Xuanfu would not have the courage to do so, and the general army of Datong Tuntian would not be rewarded for his great achievements, The governor of the Xuanfu will not be punished for misleading the country, what does the cabinet want? Xu Aiqing, you are an old and serious minister, I just listen to you what to do? ”

Xu Guangqi broke out in a cold sweat, secretly glanced at the pale-faced Zhou Yanru and the triumphant Wen Tiren, secretly sighed that the taste of being caught in the middle was uncomfortable, and blushed and held back a sentence: "Lord Shoufu should be avoided!" ”

The emperor snorted, and his eyes glanced at Zhou Yanru again, Zhou Yanru sighed, bowed to the emperor and resigned, and then left in despair.

"Your Majesty, the state has a big traitor, there is a big chaos, if you want to make the Ming Dynasty prosperous, you must first cut off the traitorous party, and rectify the inside and outside." Wen Tiren immediately became excited, dancing and blowing his grand idea, and the ministers found that the wind direction had changed, and also scolded Shoufu for misleading the country, and echoed Wen Tiren to offer advice to the emperor.

The ministers were in high spirits, and they drew a clear line with Zhou Yanru, and exposed the scandal of the first assistant accepting bribes, selling official positions, and forming a party for personal gain, but the emperor felt uneasy, waved his hand and said: "Denglai, Xuanfu, and Datong have their own three legal divisions, whether the first assistant is guilty of the crime should have real evidence, and must not be coerced for personal gain, the ministers do not need to say much, and the Datong Tuntian general military merit reward and naturalization of the town are also major matters, and the cabinet should quickly draw up a document." ”

The pre-imperial meeting ended hastily, Wen Tiren temporarily became the boss of the cabinet, and he worked hard to do things, urging all ministries and institutes to discuss the results in a few days: the Denglai case dragged on for a year, and there was no obstruction from Zhou Yanru, and the case was finalized on the three laws Sima Shang - Sun Yuanhua, the former governor of Denglai, and Zhang Tao, the former deputy chief soldier of Denglai, were beheaded and abandoned the city, and the rest of the accomplices were sent to the border towns, and Shen Di, the governor of Xuanfu, and Dong Jishu, the chief soldier, were arrested and arrested in Beijing to discuss the crime. Zhang Tinggong, the governor of Datong, was lucky, and reported to the court in time, the rebellion in Datong was caused by the collusion of Lou Zijing in the northern province of Hebei Province to not send officials and profiteers to withhold food and salaries, and extort the people, the rebellion between the army and the people has now subsided, Lou Zi feared the crime and hanged himself, the unjudicial officials and profiteers were arrested and imprisoned, and the confiscated money and goods have been sent to the Beijing Division, this guy seems to have made meritorious contributions, this time he had to spare him, and his deputy envoy Ma Shiying was lucky, succeeded as the governor of Xuanfu.

Li Yu's military exploits are also easy to do, according to the past example, give him a higher level, promote him to the right governor, and then give him some deputy generals and generals, and the reward depends on whether the emperor is reluctant to pay out of his pocket. The matter of naturalizing and opening the town made the courtiers brain-wrenching, and no one was happy to give that traitor a general soldier of the town, but he was not allowed to be the chief soldier, and who dared to be the chief soldier, and the opening of the town required a civilian official to supervise the army, where to find the right person, Jin Shengru was definitely not good. Or Wen Tiren has a lot of ideas, what if this guy is a naturalized general soldier, anyway, the court doesn't plan to allocate food and salary, and set up a naturalized governor to manage him, and there are ready-made candidates, Liu Zhilun is bold and often speaks wildly, it's him, it just so happens that he and Jin Sheng are good friends, and they have taught that guy to read together, let these two masters work together to suppress their disciples. The cabinet ministers greatly appreciated Wen Tiren's proposal, and Liu Zhilun praised himself as a saint, so he liked to pick and choose from others, and he hated it when he looked at him, and it was best to drive him out of Beijing. Some people cited the examples of Du Wenhuan and Song Tongyin, and proposed that the officials who were sent to the army should also be naturalized, these people will definitely not be able to get together with the barbarians, and if there are too many people, they can still fight against the barbarians, and they can also test the depth and shallowness of the water for the imperial court, and then send the imperial court officials to naturalize if appropriate.

Wen Tiren sent the article to the inner court, and the emperor also felt that it was feasible, but the cabinet complied with the will of the people and made another request by the way - requesting that the cases of Lu merchants, Zhejiang merchants and Nanzhili merchants who had been seized by Jinyiwei and those who had fornicated with Dongyu be transferred to the Criminal Department. The emperor is extremely dissatisfied with this, the foreign dynasty even dragged the gold and silver and did not give, and now he is robbing him for money, if the case falls into the hands of Wenchen, there is no one who wants to close the case for a year or two, and there must be few big sons who have been fined dirty money, this is a lot of money, why cheap those greedy officials, the emperor did not hesitate to dismiss it.

After all, the foreign dynasty is not his own person, the cabinet is missing the big tiger Zhou Yanru, and Wen Tiren and his gang are not allowed to fly - the emperor thought for a while, and issued an order to severely reprimand Sun Sanjie and other officials for their personal accusations, hand them over to the ministry, and summon Zhou Yanru back to the cabinet to continue to run errands.

Zhou Yanru is back again, but he understands that this account must be remembered by him, and he must be a man with his tail between his legs in the future, Wen Tiren also secretly regretted that he accidentally jumped too high, which made the emperor suspicious, and he still had to be low-key, and the two greeted each other like old friends, as if nothing had happened before, and the dispute between Zhou and Wen came to an end temporarily.

Sun Yuanhua calmly accepted the verdict in the prison of the Criminal Department, since God has called, then go, you can't blame the emperor, you really caused a big disaster, and you were captured and humiliated the country; Zhou Yanru can't be blamed, the case has dragged on until now, and he has done his best; You can't blame Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, they fought bloodily with Jiannu in Liaodong for many years, but when they returned to Guannei, they still had no food and clothing, and they were bullied and despised for a long time, and the Ming Dynasty was ashamed of them.

With the help of his parishioners, John Tang entered the prison of the Criminal Department, prayed for Sun Yuanhua on his deathbed, and expressed his admiration for the believer's firm faith, hoping to do something for him at the end.

"I should do more to spread the gospel of God, but I made a big mistake, I shouldn't have stepped into the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, this place is too dirty, it is not suitable for me at all, tell my children, work hard to learn, and never be an official." Sun Yuanhua preached calmly.

"Inaju, you are a good man, God will definitely let you go to heaven!" John Tang said loudly, tears welling up in his eyes.

At the end of August, Toyosu has entered the end of the autumn harvest, this year's spring cold time is short, there is no major drought, and the flood has also been fortunate to survive, everyone hopes to harvest a few more buckets of millet, and there are busy people in the fields. A group of horsemen with black eagle banners galloped past the dirt road at the edge of the field, and the farmers in the fields looked up to find them, straightened their waists and shouted, and the cavalrymen also raised their hands in response, and some even whistled.

"Li Yucha, Fengzhou's harvest this year is good, give us more grain," Tuba looked at the scene in the field with an excited face, but the Tutu and Gunchuk beside him were still looking around.

"You think these harvests are good, this is 10,000 lives in exchange!" Li Yu was silent for a while before speaking, stared at Tuba and said, "I will send some to you when the grain is collected, but you still have to rely on yourself in the future, Fengzhou only helps the emergency and not the poor." ”

"Brother-in-law, what errand do you plan to give you when you dragged the two of us to Fengzhou?" Tu Tu couldn't help but ask, and Gunchuk also looked at Li Yu with a blank eye.

"The two of you will go to the Great Commander's Mansion to help first, and then assign errands later," Li Yu glanced at the diagram, thinking in his heart that these two guys might not be able to do the errand, and then added, "If you really can't do it, ask your sister to learn to do business, as long as you are willing to work in this place in Fengzhou, you will have food." ”

Ji Tu and Gun Chuk immediately showed a bitter face, Li Yu ignored them, and walked forward while chatting with Tuba. Li Yu's trip to the old capital suppressed the fire between the Chahar tribes, and by the way, he cleaned up the Chahar nobles, and forcibly brought the troublemakers back to Fengzhou, and the old Tuba also asked to go to Fengzhou to learn governance experience - Li Yu felt that this guy was more like he was here to ask for things, and the Chahar people who were outside the Fengzhou system were always a hidden danger, but at least they must support them now.

The greed of the nobles is the root of the ****, after the war there was a chaos on the grassland, the ownerless population, livestock and pasture became the target of contention, the nobles did not hesitate to turn against each other and fight, they all wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get a little more, Sangha Er Village lost his life for this. Liu Xingzuo led the troops to stop the civil strife, and suggested that the ownerless population should be denaturalized as free people, and livestock and pastures should be rewarded to meritorious soldiers.

After Li Yu arrived, he resolutely supported Liu Xingzuo's plan and clearly told the nobles: If Chahar wants to survive, it must be reformed, otherwise it will be a dead end. The nobles immediately stretched out their hands, it is okay to reform the system, but you Fengzhou must lose money to us, and if you don't give money, don't think about reforming the system - there are many Chahar tribes, and the nobles are all soil emperors, Chahar Khan used his wives in order to control them, but it turned out to no avail, everyone still did their own thing, Li Yucha is better than Chahar Khan, then everyone will play scoundrels.

If you are disobedient, you will reason with a whip, Li Yu once again showed his toughness, and beat the nobles again, this time Liu Xingzuo did not persuade him, and let Li Yu beat people to the point of wolf howl. After Li Yu finished beating people, he simply used a knife to force Chahar to reform the system, declared that all Chahar people were free people, and livestock were also distributed to the common people, and threatened the nobles that if they didn't want to stay in Chahar, get out of Chahar immediately, and if anyone dared to make trouble, then use a knife to speak. That night, dozens of nobles fled with more than 5,000 people, some defected to Khalkha, some defected to Jinguo, and some defected to the Mongolian tribe of Xilamulun River - Princess Taisong also ran away, she did not oppose the reform, but asked Li Yuen to raise her, Li Yu did not dare to agree, this woman was too scheming, taking advantage of Gunchuk's escape to the pass, and grabbed all the tribes of the two in her hands, Gunchuk did not dare to return to her home, and became a wild dog, if she entered the house, and then joined hands with Wulangha, Ulan may not have a way to live.

Li Yu didn't care about the nobles running away with the crowd, what he wanted was this result, and then Li Yu appointed Tuba as the commander, Darhan and Martyr's Rite as the main and deputy guards, and let the Chahar people themselves nominate some officials.
