The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

At three o'clock, there was no trace of pedestrians on the road.

In the courtyard of Yang Sichang's house in the imperial city, Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian's important ministers gathered in Yang Benbing's study to discuss the current hardships of the court.

As the master and faction, now that Jiannu has been successfully expelled, Yang Benbing has done nothing in the court, Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian have been defeated and fled, and the criticism of the government and the opposition can be imagined.

"Alas, we can have today's peaceful situation, or the love of the Son of Heaven, so that we can sit here safely."

Chen Xinjia sighed, his voice desolate.

In the meantime, it belongs to his official micro-level, which is naturally suitable for throwing bricks and attracting jade, so that the originally silent situation is active.

Otherwise, in the middle of the night, several court ministers sit for half a night, what kind of system will it become?

"What Governor Chen said is true, if our family didn't have the love of the Son of Heaven, it would have been taken down and beheaded by those Donglin Bundlings."

Gao Qiqian raised his eyebrows, his face was gloomy, and he pointed his throat with a sneer, indignant.

It's just that I don't know what he's unhappy about, he has no merit, he runs away repeatedly, except for flattery, there is no place!

"I don't want to say what Governor Chen said, now I am just on standby, and there is no new official position in the imperial court."

Chen Xinjia is slightly sour and not very sad.

Wang Pu was incompetent and did not win a battle, which made him very embarrassed as a coach. The governor of Xuanda was originally a temporary generation, but now that he was obtained by Qin Haoming, he suddenly became idle.

"Xinjia doesn't need to worry, I have secretly played the Son of Heaven and elected you as the secretary of the military department, and there will be a reply in a few days."

Yang Sichang's face was gloomy, Lu Xiangsheng Ding was worried, and so was he.

Now that Lu Xiangsheng is worried at home, he can only follow the trend to make the government and the opposition gossip.

"Thank you Brother Wen for your recommendation, and the officials will keep it in mind."

Chen Xinjia's tone was hurried, he couldn't imagine that there would be such a good thing.

The Son of Heaven originally trusted Yang Benbing, and if he went home, out of consideration for balancing the situation, it would inevitably contribute to this matter.

Yang Sichang shook his hand irritably, pondered for a moment and said: "Some time ago, Lu Jiandou went to the emperor and asked to capture Zhang Xianzhong, who was originally recruited.

This matter is not Jiandou's style, it must be instigated by the Qin family.

How should we deal with it now? ”

If it weren't for the current situation, he would definitely persuade the Son of Heaven to reject Lu Xiangsheng's suggestion, isn't this an obvious slap in the face?

Zhang Xianzhong's surrender to the imperial court was originally planned by him, and Xiong Wencan was responsible for the implementation.

It is the highest embodiment of his strategy of encircling and suppressing the four-square, six-corner, and ten-sided nets, and it is also something he is proud of.

However, the form is stronger than people, especially what makes him jealous is Qin Haoming, behind the seemingly unscrupulous actions, there is always a deep meaning.

"A milky boy who has not dried up, is fortunate to inherit the sky, and occasionally gets an inch. I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and I am involved in the major events of the court.

You can't condone this move, Yang Benbing doesn't have to be polite, just let the Son of Heaven dismiss it! ”

Gao Qiqian was furious when he heard this, and his pale face was flushed, if it weren't for this, how could they have a passive situation today?

Stay until our family supervises the army and see how to clean you up?

"What do you think?"

Regarding Gao Qiqian's remarks, Yang Sichang was noncommittal on the surface, but he was really tired in his heart.

I don't have the ability to shit, I can't see the situation clearly, I just know how to talk nonsense, which is useless. However, after all, they were allies, and it was inconvenient to refute, so they turned their heads and asked about Chen Xinjia.

"Alas! Brother Wen, this matter is not easy to decide.

If Zhang Xianzhong rises and turns back, it will verify the correctness of Qin Du's words and push you to the forefront.

If you don't rebel, you can't take him for a while. After all, no one can guarantee how Zhang Xianzhong will act in the future?

In short, to put it mildly, this son has the initiative. ”

Chen Xinjia can do the book of the military department, there is no shortage of vision, and he also has talents, and the analysis is thorough and reasonable, which is convincing!

But because of this, Yang Sichang's face became more and more ugly.

Chen Xinjia could see what he thought, and he naturally understood. It can be said that on this matter, they have the same opinion.

At the same time, the feedback from the message sent back is not optimistic. Yang Sichang understood that Zhang Xianzhong was unreliable and could rebel again at any time.

Zhang Xianzhong was in Gucheng and Luo Rucai was in Yunyang, although they respectively accepted Xiong Wencan's "appeasement".

However, after being "appeased", Zhang Xianzhong refused to accept the reorganization and transfer, did not accept the official title, and maintained his independence.

He distributed his 40,000-strong troops in the four suburbs of the headquarters valley city, divided into four battalions, each led by a general.

During the period of recuperation, he collected grass and grain, built weapons, recruited troops, and trained soldiers.

Apparently waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

"In the long run, at this time, Jiannu was defeated and retreated, and it was the right time to eradicate Zhang Xianzhong.

Brother Wen may as well push the boat down the river, so that no matter what Zhang Xianzhong does in the future, he will not be able to implicate you.

Moreover, at the beginning, the Son of Heaven took into account the overall situation, listened to your advice, and accepted the surrender of Zhang Xianzhong.

However, there is a thorn in the heart of the Son of Heaven! ”

Seeing that Yang Sichang was in a dilemma, Chen Xinjia carefully gave his own advice.

"Xinjia has a point! Tomorrow, I will enter the palace to make a proposal to the Son of Heaven and seconded Lu Jiandou. ”

After listening to Chen Xinjia's words, Yang Sichang was shocked. How did he forget this stubble, he immediately didn't dare to hesitate at all, and responded in a deep voice.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the rebels from all walks of life were besieged in Henan by the Ming official army.

In order to break out of the encirclement, the leaders of the thirteen rebels held a military meeting in Xingyang, Henan Province, and decided to divide their troops to attack and break the encirclement and suppression plan of the official army.

After the meeting, Zhang Xianzhong marched eastward.

His troops fought bravely, even breaking through Gushi in Henan and Huoqiu in Anhui and other prefectures and counties, and pointed directly at Fengyang, the central capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Xianzhong's troops surrounded Fengyang City in the foggy early morning.

In less than half a day, they completely annihilated the 20,000 officers and soldiers guarding Fengyang, killed the guard general Zhu Guozheng and others, captured Yan Rongxuan, the prefect of Fengyang, and sentenced him to death in front of the people.

Zhang Xianzhong distributed the victorious goods and the grain in the treasury to the local poor peasants, and also called the peasants and the people of the four townships to cut down hundreds of thousands of pines and cypresses in the imperial mausoleum.

He also demolished the surrounding buildings and the Longxing Temple where Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk, and then dug up the ancestral grave of Lao Zhu, and at the same time killed all the rich households in Fengyang.

When Emperor Chongzhen learned the news, he immediately put on mourning clothes and ran to the Taimiao to cry loudly. He also ordered the court officials to dress vegetarian and handle official business to express their condolences.

At the same time, he removed the post of the secretary of the military department, cut off the heads of the governor of Fengyang and the governor of the imperial history, and pulled out the governors of the five provinces who had long been dismissed and idle, and condemned them to death.

At the beginning, if it was not for his own recommendation, and the situation was critical, Emperor Chongzhen would never accept Zhang Xianzhong's suggestion.

In case of loyalty and rebellion, and Lu Jiandou's words come first, he is really unforgivable!

Chen Xinjia can still see clearly, unlike Gao Qiqian, after all, he is a eunuch, narrow-minded, he can't just talk about things, and he is blinded by hatred.

"Sure enough, Lord Chen can see clearly, our family is shallow, and it is really negligent."

Gao Qiqian patted his chest, looking like a slave was afraid.

Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia got goosebumps when they saw it, and the Ming scholars had some opinions about eunuchs, but for the needs of the political alliance, there was only vanity and grievances.

"Father-in-law Gao should pay more attention in the future, the Qin family boy is vigorous, brave and strategic, and the saint is strong, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along.

If he guards the Xuanfu on a day and has no specific handle, it is best to tolerate three points. ”

Gao Qiqian has no plan, relying on the favor of the Son of Heaven, but now Qin Haoming is not bad.

After all, they are allies, Yang Sichang kindly reminded.

"We know."

Gao Qi replied softly, and his tone was a little unconcerned.

Strategizing, the vision pattern may not be as good as the court ministers and literati, but you may not be as clever as our family.

Listen to him or not, for Yang Sichang, it is enough to have his mind.

Next, the three of them discussed some problems that need to be solved urgently, so that they can reach a consensus when they are in court.

Chongzhen doesn't like to form a party for personal gain, and the skills and ways of speaking need to be paid considerable attention, and he should not be allowed to know that it is good to collude, and Yang Sichang has done a very good job in this regard.

Unlike the Donglin Party, they are unscrupulous.
