Gao Yingxiang couldn't imagine that Chongzhen was so naïve, he believed whatever the minister said, such a person became the emperor, no wonder the Ming Dynasty would be so chaotic and dark by the corrupt officials under his hands

Looking at Chongzhen with ridicule, Gao Yingxiang said: "I laugh at you for being a fool, it's just stupid." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Lian is the Son of Heaven, who dares to deceive Lian and destroy his nine clans." Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said murderously.

Gao Yingxiang said: "Even if these grains are really allocated, they can't get to the bottom, and the victims can't eat a grain of rice." ”

"And where did all this food go?" Chongzhen asked suspiciously.

Looking around at the civil and military ministers in the hall, Gao Yingxiang said sarcastically: "Those grains have already been sold to large and small grain merchants at low prices by these loyal ministers of yours. ”

"Thief. Don't spew blood. Xue Guoguan rebuked loudly.

His voice was loud, but his heart was empty.

The rice and noodles that his son sells at a high price in SX Hancheng are the relief grains that he bought privately at a low price, and his son has made a lot of money because of the sale of these grains.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to this thief, he is provoking the relationship between our monarchs and ministers." Wen Tiren hurriedly said.

He already knew that 30,000 stone of rice and noodles had been deducted by the household officials when he left Beijing, and when he arrived at the local level, he had privately divided 10,000 stones, and the remaining 10,000 stones had been resold at a low price, and the 30,000 stone rice noodles had already turned into hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, of which 20,000 taels of silver had already been quietly sent to his mansion.

Pull out the basket and bring out the mud, if the emperor wants to investigate the matter thoroughly after listening to Gao Yingxiang, then he Wen Tiren will not be able to escape.

After looking at Xue Guoguan and Wen Tiren, and then looking back at the ministers of civil and military affairs, seeing their panicked looks, Chongzhen already understood a little in his heart, and he couldn't wait to immediately raid their homes and send them to prison.

But in this way, he has no one to use, and second, he does not dare to do so.

After a few thoughts, he had to sigh secretly, and asked Gao Yingxiang on a different topic: "If you rebel, you will rebel, why do you want to excavate my Taizu Emperor's Mausoleum in Fengyang?" ”

"Your Zhu family royal family is a group of jackals, tigers and leopards who can only drink the blood of the people and eat the flesh of the people, Lao Tzu dug Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum in Fengyang, just to make your Zhu family dynasty fall as soon as possible." Gao Yingxiang gritted his teeth and said.

Looking at his hatred for the Zhu family, Chongzhen was secretly frightened.

Although Gao Yingxiang was tied to the pillar by a chain, Chongzhen was still a little scared, and couldn't help but walk away a few steps, he said loudly: "Drag this thief out, Ling Chi will be executed, after the body is burned, the ashes will be thrown in the thatched pit of the Huangzhuang outside the city, and the alliance will make this thief never be able to live forever." ”

"Yes." The brocade guards agreed and dragged Gao Yingxiang out with a gagged mouth.

Seeing that Gao Yingxiang was pulled out, Chongzhen walked onto the platform again, sat on the dragon chair, looked at the ministers in the audience, and said excitedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the leader of the rogues, the thief Gao Yingxiang, is about to surrender to the law, and there is still the old man to return, Zhang Xianzhong and other leaders of the bandits, as long as these thieves are caught again, the civil strife of my Daming can be quelled." ”

Now the Ming Dynasty is taking measures to rule the Central Plains with Lu Xiangsheng; Hong Chengchou ruled the northwest exclusively, and this kind of encirclement and suppression strategy of each being responsible for each other and coordinating with each other is fundamentally that the divisions are responsible for the key attacks, and although this method is effective, it is still not perfect. In order to strengthen the effect of encirclement and suppression, Wen Tiren suggested that the military department should uniformly command the clearance and suppression operations of the officers and troops in various localities, so that the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort can be achieved.

After listening to Wen Tiren's suggestion, Chongzhen nodded, and Chongzhen said: "What Wen Aiqing said is that now Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has committed suicide in fear of crime and needs to be re-elected. ”

After pondering for a while, Wen Tiren said: "The secretary of the military department must know the soldiers, from the current point of view, I am afraid that only the three adults Hong, Lu, and Sun are suitable." ”

"No, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting can't move, Lu Xiangshenglian has asked him to take over the post of governor of Xuanda." Chongzhen said.

Listening to Chongzhen's words, Wen Tiren fell into thought.

Glancing at the ministers in the palace, Chongzhen said gently: "Ladies and gentlemen, you should also think about it, apart from these three people, who else can take over as the secretary of the military department?" ”

The ministers began to think about the selection of the secretary of the military department in their minds. However, after thinking about it, I always feel that there are no three suitable people: Hong, Sun, and Lu.

"The minister recommended Sun Chengzong and Lord Sun to serve as the secretary of the military department." Wu Fu bowed and said loudly.

The ministers reacted at once, yes, how could they forget such a big Buddha, and it was really suitable for this old man to go out of the mountain, so everyone bowed in unison: "The ministers recommended Sun Ge Lao to be the secretary of the military department." ”

Listening to the words of the ministers, Chongzhen smiled bitterly, he thought: "This old temper is strong, since Chongzhen four years (1631), after being attacked by the courtiers, he resigned due to illness, so far the Union has been repeatedly called, but he has all refused, although the sixteen things he wrote on the border government affairs are for the sake of the court, but those things are all things that affect a thousand things, and the Union really does not dare to adopt it easily." Now that the ministers have recommended him to be the secretary of the military department, he will definitely not accept it. ”

But he didn't say these words, he just said: "Sun Ge has worked hard for the country all his life, and now he is an old man in his seventies, it's time to let him rest, let's not disturb him." ”

As soon as he said this, the ministers had to think of others. But after thinking about it, I couldn't think of a suitable candidate for a while

"Your Majesty, the minister recommended Yang Sichang, the former right attendant of the Ministry of War and the right servant of the Imperial History, and Yang Sichang was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of War." Liu Yuliang, the right attendant of the ministry, bowed and said loudly.

"Yang Sichang?" Chongzhen muttered this name, and the image of a handsome and capable, neat middle-aged man appeared in his mind. More importantly, he also served as the right attendant of the military department and the right of the imperial history, the governor of Xuanfu, Datong, and SX military affairs, knowing the soldiers, and being capable.

Chongzhen thought in his heart, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Hmm! That's him. ”

"Your Majesty, Yang Sichang does have the ability to serve as the secretary of the military department, but he is currently at home and is not suitable for his post." Xue Guoguan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out of the class and said.

"This matter, Rong Lian will think about it. Scattered Dynasty. After speaking, Chongzhen turned back to the Qianqing Palace under the support and escort of a group of eunuchs and palace maids and forbidden soldiers.

The governor of the five provinces of Nanyang was very dissatisfied since he received the holy decree from Emperor Chongzhen to let him take over as the governor of Xuanda. Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong and others, the giant of the Central Plains, have been suppressed in the remote mountainous areas, lacking food and clothing, as long as there is another year and a half, he is sure to capture Zhang Xianzhong and other rogue leaders, but now that he is gone, the Central Plains rogue has a chance to breathe, then it will be revived, and if he wants to extinguish it in the future, it will be difficult.

For this reason, he repeatedly asked to go to Beijing to resign and discuss with Chongzhen the strategy of governing the country, but he did not get consent.

Helpless, he had to make preparations to leave Nanyang, on this day, he wrote to his uncle in a very lonely and painful psychology to pour out the bitterness in his heart: "My nephew is alone, alone in the midst of the turmoil and tribulation, and he dies all his life, and he is appointed to beg for thieves for the imperial court." There is no one in the sea who is in charge of the same heart, and the ministers are admonished, regardless of the difficulty, regardless of life and death, and only seek full blame. Those who talk falsely, those who sit and draw promises, hope for favor and grudges, coerce anger and jealousy, have a clear chest, a beak three feet long, and shoot with sand at every turn, and do not kill endlessly. If it weren't for the Holy Son of Heaven's clear observation of the virtuous and treacherous, and let others not be punished, the nephew would have died under the sword and saw......"

Yang Tinglin walked in and saw Lu Xiangsheng writing something, thinking that he was playing a chapter for the emperor again, so he asked, "My lord, are you writing a chapter again?" ”

"No, I'm writing a letter home." Lu Xiangsheng replied with a lonely expression.

After glancing at him, Yang Tinglin knew that Lu Xiangsheng's loneliness was that he couldn't find people with the same heart.

The ministers who were loyal to the country, but could not get the understanding of their colleagues, sat in the palace reading documents and approving notes, each with a three-foot-long mouth, constantly slandered and criticized him for shedding blood and sweat on the battlefield.

Putting down the brush in his hand, Lu Xiangsheng asked, "Boxiang, are you ready for the handover?" The new prime minister, Minister of Military Affairs, Wang Jiazhen, is about to take over the affairs here. ”

"My lord, this Wang Jiazhen is ordinary, how can he be the burden of the Minister of Military Affairs of the Six Provinces, I am afraid that as soon as the Lord leaves, the power of Zhang Xianzhong and other rogues will rise again, and the previous efforts will be in vain," Yang Tinglin frowned and said worriedly.

Sighing, Lu Xiangsheng said: "This is a sure thing, the two armies are facing each other, they need to be improvised, suppressing and blocking the law, the method of war is not the same as abiding by the law, the use of the trick, there is one mind, according to this, Wang Jiazhen is indeed not a suitable candidate." ”

"Then why didn't your majesty write to someone else?" Yang Tinglin asked.

Shaking his head gently, Lu Xiangsheng said: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but Your Majesty's character is stubborn and self-serving, and the candidate he decides, if I oppose it, it will make him disgusted." ”

Hearing this, Yang Tinglin was silent.

Three days later, Wang Jiazhen, the left squire of the military department and the right imperial history of the capital, succeeded Lu Xiang and was promoted to the prime minister of the six provinces.

Wang Jiazhen Wanli thirty-five years of Jinshi. During the apocalypse, the governor of the governor GS Songshan Yinding, the gangster disturbed the west for more than 20 years, and the family Zhen to, three crimes and three buts, and successively beheaded 540. The right attendant of the promotion department. In the first year of Chongzhen, he did not pay the side salary on time. The Liaodong soldiers made a noise, causing the governor Bi Zisu to hang himself.

Emperor Chongzhen was furious and cut his family's registration. Later, because of the town guard GS Gong, he was reinstated to his original position.

Wang Jiazhen was promoted to the prime minister's military minister of the six provinces as the left waiter of the Ministry of War, and he was very proud of his power, and he wished that he could immediately give orders and display his talents.

"Lord Wang, I'll leave it to you here, especially pay attention to the rogue Zhang Xianzhong, this person is extremely cunning, his whereabouts are erratic, flickering east and west, according to the detection of the detective horse, this person is probably in the area of HB Dawu Mountain now......" Lu Xiangsheng said politely.
