Chongzhen is suspicious, but not a fool. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info grind with Wen Tiren all night, and he also wants to explore Zhu Qing's foundation more. But Wen Tiren, who was below one person and above 10,000 people, didn't know that he had touched Chongzhen's bottom line when he was fighting with Zhu Qing. He is too sharp, although Zhu Qing does not show weakness, but Wen Tiren is the first assistant of the cabinet, and the expansion of power makes the emperor even more uneasy. Although Chongzhen intended to let go, his former favorite minister, Wen Tiren seemed to be too confident, did not know how to restrain, and did not retreat in the face of difficulties, and finally planted Chongzhen in his hands and was imprisoned.

Except for the people present, no one in the entire capital knew that something big had happened in the imperial court overnight. The next morning, the civil and military officials went to the court as usual, and the most talked about during the walk was the battle situation between Ningyuan and Kaifeng, and whether Zhu Qing could return to the capital today was also a hot topic of discussion among the hundred officials, and these ministers who did not dare to confront Wen Tiren all wanted to see how Zhu Qing would end!

But I never expected that when the emperor walked up to the main hall and sat on the dragon chair, Wen Tiren, who had taken the lead in chanting long live in the past, did not appear in the court hall of the main hall.

The position that everyone could hope for was empty!

The ministers were shocked, and they felt that something was wrong.

"What? Did you Aiqing not sleep well last night or did you not wake up in the morning, and you can't speak? Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair and asked expressionlessly.

When the ministers heard this, they bowed down in panic, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"All the ministers are flat!" Chongzhen, who had stayed up all night, had a smile on his face at this time.

After the worship, the ministers still squinted their eyes and looked at the position where Wen Tiren usually stood, all of them had doubts, but no one dared to ask. Li Zicheng in the train was even more worried, and he already had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Seeing that the court, which usually had something to do in the early court, was now silent, Chongzhen sneered and coughed lightly, "Cough, you must be very curious, why didn't Elder Wen come to the court today." ”

The emperor himself opened the topic, and the ministers were much more relaxed, so some of the bold ones stepped forward and asked, "Please make it clear to the emperor." "Come to think of it, this person has a good relationship with Wen Tiren, but when everyone is waiting to see what happens, he risked his life to ask, it can be seen that he is Wen Tiren's henchman.

"According to the urgent report of the imperial doctor, Wen Ge Lao suddenly contracted a vicious disease last night, and now he is sick in bed, I am afraid it will be difficult to go to court again. Lord Liang, are you going to see him? Chongzhen said, and said coldly to the Liang Lord who asked

can make friends with Wen Tiren, Lord Liang is not an idle person, naturally good at observing words and feelings, after listening to Chongzhen's words and seeing Chongzhen's smile, Lord Liang knew that Wen Tiren really had an accident.

Not only Lord Liang, who among these ministers who can stand in the court does not have this ability? Then they exchanged their heads in private and whispered.

"Emperor Qi, now that the war is tight, but Elder Wen Ge can't come to the court, will there be some delay in this court?" It's Tan-sama, please!

As soon as there was a problem on Wen Tiren's side, Lord Tian spoke, and as soon as the ministers heard it, they knew that Lord Tian was going to start.

But Chongzhen didn't say anything immediately, of course he understood what Lord Tian meant, Lord Tian was already the ruler of the country, and Chongzhen didn't want to give him more power. Chongzhen didn't understand the lessons of the eunuchs and relatives' dictatorship, and finally killed Wei Zhongxian, overthrew Wang Chengen, and overthrew Wen Tiren, Chongzhen didn't want to have another rebellion with his relatives.

Chongzhen pondered for a moment and smiled faintly, "Isn't it still your Aiqing to help me?" If you feel that it is not your job, then I should work harder. ”

When the ministers heard this, they hurriedly shouted in unison, "The ministers were originally worried about the emperor!" ”

"Okay, then I'll bother you Aiqing a little more. However, Wen Ge Lao has a lot of things to do on weekdays, and I plan to let Dongfang Wenbai assist me in dealing with Wen Ge Lao's daily affairs, what do you think? Chongzhen said with a smile, and was about to mention Dongfang Wenbai. After what happened during this time, Chongzhen not only understood Dongfang Wenbai's character, but also appreciated his outstanding Wentao martial arts.

Ning Yuan's plan to delay the army, Chongzhen intended to reuse the Oriental Wenbai, and now that he proposed it in public, he naturally did not dare to oppose it, so he responded one after another, "The emperor is wise!" ”

The drastic changes in things made Li Zicheng unexpected, his backers in the imperial court fell again and again, and now Liu Zongmin is in prison again, Li Zicheng suddenly felt isolated in the capital, and a person's loneliness may not be nothing, but he is more and more worried about the million-strong army in Tongguan. He was worried that if he didn't go back, the military power might be lost, and his 10 million taels bounty might also be divided!

When Li Zicheng was worried in his heart and anxious to find a way. Chongzhen asked loudly, "Generals, is there anything else?" If you have something to do, please play, and if you have nothing to do, you will retreat! ”

In Chongzhen's early dynasty, there were still people who wanted to participate in Zhu Qing's books, but now that Wen Tiren was no longer there, no one dared to take the initiative without permission, so they discussed a few times in private and shook their heads.

"Good! Since there is nothing else, the princess? Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen took a few steps forward and shouted, "Nothing to retreat!" ”

Just when Li Zicheng was hesitating, the sharp voice of the prince pierced his nerves, and he suddenly walked out of the train and asked Chongzhen to play, "Your Majesty, there will be something to play in the end." ”

Chongzhen, who just remembered to drive, was stunned for a moment, and sat back in the dragon chair, "Oh? What's the matter with King Chuang? ”

Li Zicheng arched his hand and said, "Emperor Qiqi, now that the war in Ningyuan is tight, the situation in Kaifeng is confused, and Qinglong has not entered Beijing for a long time to receive the order, the last general is not talented, I am willing to return to Tongguan immediately, clear the Kaifeng rebels, and personally lead the troops to Ningyuan to meet the enemy, so as to live up to the emperor's reward for the generalissimo of the last general!" Please allow the emperor! ”

When the ministers heard this, many people took the initiative to ask Li Zicheng and nodded yes. Only a few people such as Chongzhen and Suzaku quietly observed.

After Li Zicheng finished speaking, Lord Liang just now took the lead in speaking for Li Zicheng.

Although Chongzhen sneered in his heart after hearing this, he seemed to have a genuine smile on his face, "Okay! Now that the Tartars have offended my Ming Dynasty, I am worried that I have no generals in the court, and it is rare for the king to be so loyal, and I am very pleased. Chongzhen said, then paused, he quietly watched Li Zicheng's performance, although Li Zicheng didn't say it, but he was already happy in his heart, and his face didn't want to be so entangled when he first went to court. Chongzhen suddenly continued, "However, I heard that the people who came back from Kaifeng said that it was very peaceful over there. ”

Chongzhen said this, Li Zicheng and the other ministers were shocked again, the people who came back from Kaifeng? !

"The last general dared to ask the emperor, hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in Kaifeng, who dares to speak so wildly?" Li Zicheng asked.

After Chongzhen heard this, he said to Wang Chengen, "Princess, announce them in!" ”

"Xuanjin Yiwei commanded General Qinglong and his entourage." Wang Chengen shouted outside the hall.

When Li Zicheng and the others heard this, they suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Qinglong is back?"

"yes, why did you get back so quickly?"

"It's really a dragon that sees the beginning and the end!"

When all the ministers in the main hall were discussing, Zhu Qing, Sai Shiqian, Hou Xin and two inner and outer guards from the Qinglongmen walked into the main hall, and there were three prisoners in charge! It is Gonggong Liu, Zu Dashou and Sheng Tianyue!

"Ministers and others see the emperor!" Zhu Qing led the crowd to speak, and then pushed the three people forward, and Sai Shiqian and others made up for it by their side, "Kneel!" The three of them knelt in front of Chongzhen.

When the ministers saw it, they were shocked! Because everyone was paying attention to Wen Tiren's position just now, it was only then that they noticed that Sheng Tianyue was not in the train just now!

Seeing this scene, Li Zicheng's last hope for Wen Tiren was shattered. Seeing Zhu Qing, Li Zicheng felt that Tongguan was not good.

"The guilty minister knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The three of them couldn't wait. Each of them should be beheaded for all the crimes they have committed, so how can they not take the initiative to confess their sins and kneel down and plead for mercy?

I already understood last night, and Chongzhen didn't want to go around the bend anymore, so he said coldly, "Say, what are you guilty of?" ”

As soon as Chongzhen spoke, the three of them scrambled to speak. For a moment there was chaos in the hall.

With a sound of "dang", Chongzhen re-deducted an order and shouted angrily, "Presumptuous!" What is the fight? Come one by one! Shocking the three of them, Chongzhen sighed and said slowly, "Gonggong Liu, you come first!" ”

When Gonggong Liu heard this, he hurriedly bowed again, "Thank you, Emperor!" Qi Yu Emperor, the minister as a herald, false transmission of the holy decree, resulting in infighting in the army, affecting the court recruitment, fortunately Jinyiwei timely mediation, to avoid a catastrophe, the minister deserves death, please punish the emperor! ”

After Gonggong Liu finished speaking, when the ministers heard it, they exclaimed in surprise, and they all felt incredible.

"I ask you, who instructed you to make a false decree?" Chongzhen asked.

"Your Majesty, it is Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet." As soon as Gonggong Liu's words came out, he was shocked again, and he began to talk about it.

After Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and nodded, "Well, I know, you stay aside!" ”

"Emperor Xie!"

"Sheng Tianyue!" Chongzhen instead summoned Sheng Tianyue.

"The minister is here!" Sheng Tianyue bowed.

"You are an official to the criminal department, what are the crimes?" Chongzhen asked.

"Your Majesty, in the assassination case in Chengdong Village, the minister was instructed to create the cremation case of the criminal department, which deceived the emperor, so that the assassination case could not be investigated, and the minister deserved death!" Sheng Tianyue replied.

"By whom?"

"Your Majesty, Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, asked Wechen to help settle the assassination case in Chengdong Village the day before the personal trial, so there was the cremation case of the criminal department on the eve of the personal trial." Sheng Tianyue also recruited truthfully.

When the ministers heard this, they were shocked again, no wonder the criminal department suddenly caught fire, it turned out to be premeditated!

"Humph! I'll tell you later! Get aside! Chongzhen sneered.

"Emperor Xie!"

"Zu Dashou!" Chongzhen ordered Zu Dashou!

"The last general!" Zu Dashou is amazing after all, and he is still a little tough.

"A while ago, I ordered you to go to the suburbs of Beijing to guard the town, so as to deal with the unforeseen situation in Kaifeng! But I heard from the office, you are actually coveting Kaifeng, but is there such a thing? Chongzhen asked.

"Your Majesty! At first, the last general also wanted to guard the back door of Kaifeng for the emperor with peace of mind, who knew that Wen Tiren instigated the last general to attack Kaifeng before and after the army, the last general was confused for a while, and listened to Wen Tiren's nonsense, who knew that the night before the army was sent to Kaifeng, he was attacked by the Qinglong general, the last general was guilty, and the last general was ashamed! Zu Dashou said, clenching his fists over his head and lowering his face!

This time, the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, and Li Zicheng was even more nervous, because what these three people said was related to the invasion of the army!

"How? Ladies and gentlemen? Everyone now knows why Elder Wen Ge didn't come to the early dynasty, right? He's not very sick, can I send a doctor to see his mother? Chongzhen smiled faintly at the ministers.

At this point, the Manchu Dynasty already knew that Wen Tiren had fallen! hurriedly put aside the relationship, and knelt down one after another, "The emperor is wise and decisive!" Rectify the dynasty, Kuang Fu Sheji, the country's luck! ”

"Hahaha!" At this point, Chongzhen couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, Chongzhen shook his head and said, "You are only half right, in fact, the people who rectified the dynasty this time are Qinglong and the warriors around him!" ”

The ministers looked at Zhu Qing again, and Chongzhen suddenly said, "Qinglong! ”

"The last general!" Zhu Qing replied forward.

"Now that your grievances have been cleared, and your Jinyi Wei has made great contributions to the imperial court, but I hope you will make greater contributions, are you ready?" Chongzhen said to Zhu Qing.

Of course, Zhu Qing understood what Chongzhen meant, and replied without thinking, "The last general is ready!" As soon as Zhu Qing's words came out, the ministers were in a commotion, even if Zhu Qing returned to Beijing, even if he had three heads and six arms, but with these few people around him, how could he go out of the customs to meet the enemy? !

"Oh? I heard that this time Dolgon led a million troops to attack the city, and you have this little person by your side, which is also called preparation? Chongzhen also wondered.

"Your Majesty, before the last general returned to Beijing, it had been arranged, and let the baggage battalion take the lead in transporting weapons and grain and grass to the suburbs of Beijing. Moreover, General Huzi will also lead a million troops to follow up and support in a timely manner. Therefore, King Chuang doesn't have to go back to Tongguan, presumably they are ready to set off at this moment! Zhu Qing said, then turned to Li Zicheng and smiled faintly.

After listening to Zhu Qing's words and staring at Zhu Qing's eyes again, Li Zicheng knew that his million-strong army had been disintegrated and controlled by Jinyiwei, and what he was most worried about had happened!

"Good! It deserves to be a green dragon! I order you to send troops immediately, and send troops to Ningyuan in three days at the latest, and go out to meet the enemy! Chongzhen said excitedly.

"The last general obeys!"

"King Chuang, in this case, I also feel that you don't need to go back to Tongguan for the time being, just wait for General Huzi to lead the troops in the capital, and then you will lead the troops to the front line and become your generalissimo!" How is it? Chongzhen smiled at Li Zicheng.

is controlled by others again, but Li Zicheng, who is isolated and helpless, has no choice, as long as he gritted his teeth and responded, "The last general will obey orders." ”

"Good! That's it for this morning. Put these three people in a prison and wait for them to fall! Retreat! Chongzhen did not hesitate this time, personally gave an order, and then got up and returned to the screen.

For the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, this is an early dynasty with twists and turns, and it must be a few joys and a few sorrows, and the reason why Chongzhen did not track down Wen Tiren's henchmen on the spot was that he was worried that he would use too much force for a while, but it would be self-defeating. From the moment he said that Wen Tiren was sick, Chongzhen considered the stability of the court, and even he did not consider taking Wen Tiren's life, which considered personal feelings and the overall situation.

After retiring from the dynasty, the ministers who rarely interacted with Zhu Qing in the past all gathered around to congratulate them. Li Zicheng sneered when he walked past Zhu Qing's side, "General Qinglong really uses soldiers like a god." ”

Zhu Qing smiled faintly and said casually, "Each other." ”
