Chapter 268: Secret Discussion Jingshi Emperor Chongzhen
"Lord Futai, our family will get straight to the point, don't go around the bend, that Wang Zheng is the prince of the master of ceremonies and eunuchs promoted all the way, and we can't be subordinates to face the top, do you say this is the reason?"
Liu Yunzhongsheng looked like a little white face, and he spoke in a weird way, he saw that Yan Jizu didn't say much, so he took a few steps forward, opened his mouth and continued:
"Liu Zeqing is against the yang and yin of the imperial court, whether it is Dongyu or the Wenxiang Sect a few days ago, he runs faster than a rabbit, these Shandong contextual martial arts are obvious to all, and Lord Futai knows better than our family."
Saying that, Liu Yunzhong sat on the first place and smiled:
"Say a thousand things and ten thousand, our family and you will dig out a little heart, at the moment you and I are considered guilty, any mistake may lose your head, it is reasonable, Liu Zeqing knows about the matter of Xiangjiao, and he must report it after he sits down in Shandong."
Yan Jizu naturally understood that he had already thought about it before calling Liu Yunzhong, and his hand drinking tea froze in mid-air, and said with a smile:
"Lord Liu is right, now that Shandong has died a Zhengxuan general soldier, and there is another Denglai miscellaneous number that has repeatedly made great contributions, Lord Liu and Ben Fu have some credit for controlling people and dispatching well."
With a cold snort, Liu Yunzhong nodded and said with a sharp smile:
"Mention a king to fight up, how can it be a hundred times stronger than Liu Zeqing and others, everyone has heard of the pen and pen record of the Dengzhou battalion, there is such a team of soldiers and horses in Shandong, and the future credit of Lord Futai will not be stopped?"
"Maybe, it won't take a few years to be promoted to Jiangnan as a governor, that place is prosperous and tight~, speaking of this file, our family is still a little envious of Lord Futai~"
Haha laughed, Yan Jizu smiled and said:
"Then it's decided, Ben Fu will draw up an excerpt and recommend Wang Zheng as the new Shandong commander-in-chief."
didn't think about it, but Liu Yunzhong waved his hand, and said with a dark face:
"This excerpt can't be written like this, he always promotes Wang Zheng alone, although his military exploits are real, the saint can't help but doubt, and now Shandong is qualified to succeed to the election of the general army, except for Wang Zheng and Qi Cheng, the three of them, all reported."
Yan Jizu showed a look of sudden realization on his face, and said with a narrow smile:
"It's still Liu Jianjun who is thoughtful, so let's do it!"
The next day, Yan Ji, the governor of Shandong, sent a document to various places, denouncing Liu Zeqing, the former general soldier of Shandong, for betraying the country and being a thief, and his grievances for many years were written on this document.
At this time, it can be seen from the hard reading of the literati that Yan Jizu used a small amount of pen and ink to describe Liu Zeqing as a heinous sinner who does nothing, eats nothing, and is heinous.
The literati in Shandong naturally had to follow in the footsteps of Lord Futai, and wrote articles one after another, Liu Zeqing had only been dead for half a month, and he had become a rare villain in the heavens and on the ground.
Although these articles are a bit exaggerated, they really implemented Liu Zeqing's crime of hearing about the Xiangjiao before the news reached the imperial court, and even if Bao Qingtian was reincarnated, he would not want to overturn the case.
When the document was issued, the governor of Shandong, Yamen, issued a general order that the post of Shandong general soldier was vacant, and the general soldier Wang Zheng of Denglai was temporarily allowed to act on behalf of him, and he would be handed over after the imperial court was selected and appointed.
Speaking of Liu Zeqing's more than 1,000 captives, it was as if the world had evaporated and completely disappeared in Shandong, and he couldn't find it no matter how he found it, so Yan Jizu had no choice but to reconvene the remaining scattered ones and temporarily return them to the general army of Denglai.
Commanding is a good saying, and Yan Jizu was probably afraid of the gap so he sent them to the Dengzhou camp.
Wang Zheng casually issued an order to send these Liu Zeqing's old subordinates to Zhuangtian Yanzhuang and mine helpers in various places to "reform through labor", as for what could happen in the end, he really didn't care about it.
......
Soon, the time came to the beginning of June of the twelfth year of Chongzhen.
Wang Zheng, the commander-in-chief of Denglai, led the Dengzhou battalion to quell the Wenxiangjiao rebellion, and the good news of capturing Lin Yilun was reported to Beijing by the governor of Shandong's yamen as early as the end of May.
After this good news arrived in Beijing, it was transferred by the Ministry of War to the celebrant supervisor, but Wang Chengen did not report it, because the Wenxiang Sect Leader Lin Yilun and the Dengzhou Battalion's beheading were still on the road and had not been transported, and it was inevitable that there would be extraneous branches when reporting at this time.
At the beginning of June, it was finally transported to Beijing.
On June 3, Wang Chengen took a copy of the good news and two folds, and respectfully came to the gate of the magnificent Qianqing Palace.
After waving his hand to signal the two little eunuchs to leave, he entered the hall lightly.
Compared with last year, there are a few more crow's feet at the corners of Emperor Chongzhen's eyes, but what can be seen at a glance is his hair that turns white at an extremely fast rate.
A young man in his twenties, with his hair white like this, you can imagine how much pressure he is under every day.
Emperor Chongzhen buried his head in the imperial case, looking at the excerpts and paperwork, but the more he looked, the more angry he became, the more silent he became, and the empty credit that came from everywhere except for the generals who did not cut the rank, that is, the civil officials were very stable and the world was still peaceful.
The law does not blame the public, and for these Chongzhen Emperors, they can only be ignored, and they waste time but have no use for the crumbling court.
As for the kind of real merit with captives and beheadings, except for Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou, Cao Bianjiao, Huang Degong and other humerus civil and military officers who occasionally report it, there is no other.
Hearing the footsteps of "Da Da" coming in, Emperor Chongzhen didn't raise his head, and said weakly:
"Cheng Enyi, what's the matter again?"
There was a sense of vicissitudes and years in his voice that did not fit his age, and Wang Chengen could hear it that Emperor Chongzhen was tired of it, and he began to know what to do.
Indeed, in the face of such a situation, even if the Hongwu Emperor who opened the dynasty is reincarnated, I am afraid that he will not have the skills to return to heaven.
"Good news, good news, Your Majesty, there is good news from the Dengzhou camp again."
"Dengzhou battalion, is it the one that Denglai General Soldier Wang is fighting for?"
Emperor Chongzhen put down the paperwork, thought about it carefully before asking, saw Wang Chengen nodding with a smile, and immediately reached out to take the good news and the other two folds.
Seeing the confusion in Emperor Chongzhen's eyes, Wang Chengen hurriedly bent over and smiled:
"Your Majesty, these other two are excerpts submitted by Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, and Liu Yunzhong, the superintendent of the army, and they are about the selection of the general army in Shandong."
"The candidate for the Shandong General Army, if I remember correctly, isn't the current Shandong General Army Liu Zeqing?"
As he spoke, Emperor Chongzhen opened the good news and looked at it a few times, then his voice stopped abruptly, he stood up with wide eyes, his body gradually trembled, and he suddenly sent the good news to the case.
"It's a big rebellion, it's a big rebellion!!"
Emperor Chongzhen picked up the good news, kept shaking his hands and pointing in the air, panting and walking back and forth, still feeling the tightness of his breath, and said angrily:
"This Liu Zeqing doesn't take me in his eyes at all, doesn't take the Ming Dynasty in his eyes at all, and dares to collude with the Wenxiang Sect to bewitch the people in Shandong."
"Where's Jin Yiwei!? Let me go to Shandong to arrest Liu Zeqing and correct the law on the spot!! ”
Wang Chengen looked panicked, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal the brocade guard who trotted in to withdraw, handed over the good news thrown on the ground back to Emperor Chongzhen, and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, you are angry, Liu Zeqing is dead, you have to take care of the dragon body!"
"Dead?"
Emperor Chongzhen muttered, automatically ignored the second half of Wang Chengen's sentence, and continued to look at the good news of the Dengzhou camp with doubts, in fact, he only read a few words.
After reading it all, Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a little hatred:
"Good death! Wang Zheng doesn't know how strong Liu Zeqing is, has Lin Yilun escorted to Beijing? ”
