Capital. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the study room of the Qianqing Palace, during this time, Zhu Jian frowned slightly.

On the same day, Dengzhou came to report, saying that the Dengzhou Ordnance Institute lost a skilled artillery technician, although it is not like the Jingzhong Ordnance Institute such an expert in the development of core firearms, but firearms are the country's most important capital, if the Houjin people master the red-coated cannon, although the current Ming Empire is not enough to threaten too much, but it is still an unstable factor.

More or less, that will have a certain impact on the situation of the Imperial War, at least unnecessary losses for the Imperial Sergeants.

However, Dongjiang came to report here, although the lost artillery was seized and a conspiracy was completely dismantled, but there was no news about the lost technician, which made Zhu Jian a little annoyed.

However, Dongjiang's capture of the Fan Yongdou brothers, who absconded not long ago, made Zhu Jian a little happy in his heart, and in addition, he took people to catch stolen goods, and in the mouth of the thieves, a 'dark line' hidden in the imperial army gradually surfaced.

The rebellion in the hidden army was led by Geng Zhongmin and Kong Youde, who were under the former Dongjiang commander-in-chief Mao Wenlong, but the two were serving under Yuan Keli, the governor of Dongjiang and the governor of Dengzhou!

"Inspector Yuan is unaware of this matter, but I am afraid that there should be an explanation for this matter of Mao Wenlong, after all, in the land of the Dongjiang River, Mao Wenlong still has some prestige!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Jian sighed slightly.

"Someone is coming, and the first assistant of the cabinet, Yang Sichang, Lord Yang, the Minister of the Political Affairs Bureau, Hong Chengchou, and the Minister of Party Affairs of the Imperial Party, Li Yan, and other three adults will enter the palace quickly, and I will wait for them in this Qianqing Palace!"

......

Not long after the inner servant passed the decree, Yang Sichang and others came one after another.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've worked hard all the way, give me a seat!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know why I summoned you here?"

When the ministers arrived, Zhu Jian didn't make much politeness, but he went straight to the point.

And here, in the face of the emperor's sudden words, Yang Sichang and others were a little puzzled, even Li Yan, who was known for his think tank, was a little unclear, so he could only say a word.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to discuss things again?"

Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Zhu Jian continued.

"I won't hide it from you, I have gathered you to discuss today, but I have doubts, and I hope you can solve this doubt in my heart for me."

"Ministers should do their best."

Hearing what the emperor said, the three of them all gave up.

"That's very good, but you know that not long ago Dengzhou was lost and thought to be an artillery technician?"

"The minister has heard of it, and I heard that it is an old worker of the Dengzhou Ordnance Institute, but he is very good at casting red-coated artillery."

Regarding the emperor's questioning, Hong Chengchou was the first to speak, to say that Hong Chengchou had been in the military department for many days, and the Dengzhou Ordnance Institute was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, so Hong Chengchou naturally wanted to be well-informed about this matter.

"What Lord Hong said is very true, but he is listed as a minister, but he knows that there is a huge rebellion hidden behind this lost case?"

"This."

The three of them were a little surprised by the emperor's words, you must know that Dengzhou was the emperor who personally appointed the old minister Yuan Keli to supervise the teacher, that was the old minister of the previous dynasty, how could there be rebellion under his rule without realizing it?

"I wonder who Your Majesty is referring to?"

After some surprise, Yang Sichang asked.

"They are all small people, but they are all the former soldiers of Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang."

"This."

Although what Zhu Jianyi said was an understatement, when it came to Mao Wenlong, everyone was even more surprised than before, because when it came to Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan would definitely be mentioned.

Now this Dengzhou matter will involve the two old ministers of the empire at the same time, Yuan Chonghuan and Yuan Keli, and the three of them are not surprised to hear this.

What kind of medicine does the emperor sell in the gourd?

At this moment, the three of them were a little puzzled.

"Since the death of Mao Wenlong, although Inspector Yuan has made more plans, but over the years, his old subordinates have many intentions to leave, turning their backs on the Ming Dynasty and defecting to the Houjin people, everyone, how do you feel about this matter? By the way, there is another thing to inform you, after the siege of Jin, Yuan Inspector ran thousands of miles to protect the Beijing Division, I swore with it, Mao Wenlong's matter, I should bear it alone, but it was the time urgency, but I suppressed this matter with all my might, but today, I am afraid that there should be a break. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is difficult to say that this matter is difficult, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult."

As soon as Zhu Jian's words fell, Li Yan on the side spoke.

"Oh, what do you mean by that, Lord Li?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that this matter was all up to His Majesty's will, and the minister heard that His Majesty swore an oath with Inspector Yuan that day, and he took responsibility for Inspector Yuan's unauthorized killing of Mao Wenlong.

Regarding what Li Yan said, Zhu Jian didn't say anything, but nodded and asked Li Yan to continue.

"Your Majesty, the minister will speak out!"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Mao Wenlong has merits, but it is really a little unruly, although such a person can be used, but it is difficult to control, if you let such people become bigger, I am afraid that not only will not serve the country, but there will be a suspicion of supporting the army and self-respect, Yuan Inspector killed Wenlong, although it is a good killing, but there is a sense of force, in addition to Mao Wenlong has been dead for many years, and Yuan Inspector is now the minister of the humerus of the empire, so the minister thinks that if His Majesty wants to use Mao Wenlong's matter to stabilize people's hearts, it is necessary to consider the thoughtfulness of Yuan Inspector."

What Li Yan said could not be said to be to the point, and Zhu Jian didn't understand it in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Jian said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's words, I have made up my mind in my heart, I still think that there should be a conclusion on Mao Wenlong's matter, Li Yan, you will immediately draft an article later, and take Mao Wenlong's merits and demerits as the main body, of course, the importance of the article, I think you will know later, after the article is completed, I will hand it over to me first, and hand it over to the Imperial Daily tomorrow to be widely valued, and do a good job in public opinion propaganda."

......

"That's all for today, let's disperse!"

After the three of them left, Zhu Jian turned around and walked towards the bookcase, but he wrote three letters one after another, which were 800 miles urgent, and handed them to Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong.

A few days later, Liaodong, Jiliao Governor's Mansion.

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan had already received a letter from Kyoto, and in the letter, Yuan Chonghuan saw the emperor's intentions very clearly.

Regarding Mao Wenlong's matter, Yuan Chonghuan actually has some regrets in his heart, but he Yuan Chonghuan will never regret killing Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong is unruly, if he is allowed to become bigger, it will inevitably be a big tail, as a courtier of the empire, Yuan Chonghuan never wants to see such an ending, so he killed Mao Wenlong.

On that day, the emperor talked with him all night, which moved him Yuan Chonghuan, because he was pretentious and murderous, even if it was for the great cause of the empire, but it was a big taboo, but the emperor withstood the pressure for him.

And today, because Mao Wenlong was killed, there are many centrifuges in his old department, and the root cause is because the imperial court has not given an explanation for Mao Wenlong.

Yuan Chonghuan knew in his heart that the emperor here must use troops to return to Jin, Dongjiang is a major strategic place, although the emperor has personally operated the Dongjiang River in recent years, and the veteran Yuan Keli supervises the Dongjiang River, but many old Mao Wenlong subordinates are still a big hidden danger, and if the emperor wants to use troops, he must first completely solve the internal affairs.

So the emperor wrote a letter to him Yuan Chonghuan, and the so-called bell is still a bell person.

The cause planted that day, the fruit obtained today, everything needs a statement, Yuan Chonghuan knew in his heart that the emperor valued himself, otherwise he would not have written this letter himself.

"Inspector, Sun Taibao has arrived!"

And just when Yuan Chonghuan was thinking a lot of things in his heart, a report suddenly came from outside the door, but it was Sun Chengzong who came.
